I just don't understand these. In terms of sound, I'd give these a 9.5/10. They're clean and punchy without being too sterile or glossy. What I cannot condone is the 3-octave keyboard or the seemingly mandatory external editing. If I'm going to spend $800 on a digital platform that requires a computer for editing, why wouldn't I just get another soft synth and some world-class effects? The 3-octave KB is an absolutely useless addition for me. That's an uncrossable line, and I'm not even a serious, technical player. You've got to go keyless or offer a 4-to-5 octave option. Who are you pleasing with 3 octaves? That's a bad compromise. If I'm going to be required to look at a monitor to edit the synth, then why would I go for software, masquerading as hardware, needing external hardware and software for maximum performance. That's the most pointless concept ever.

Modal is one of the few companies making music products, that I actually wish would charge more. The small screen and unfavorable knobs-to-features ratio are shortcomings that can't be ignored. No complaints on the sound from me---the FX sound excellent, and there's a lot of potential for sound design and cinematic/ambient applications. For most companies, the features and the concept are the hook. Then the audio leaves you disappointed. Modal is on the other end of the spectrum. With Modal, the sound is quite appealing, but the supporting features are just so poorly conceived.

They/them as a singular pronoun is older than you might think, older than the word "you" even.

But I'm not here to reopen this argument again, but instead to link to the new Banananana effect.

I'm assuming the former is some combo of the lofi junky and fuzz factory, but no idea on the latter aside from there will probably be a fuzz component.
