Modal VST is a percussion synthesizer designed to simulate the sounds of 2D square membranes and 1D linear resonators like strings. It achieves this by rendering up to 256 partials through a bank of harmonic oscillators, allowing for highly detailed and complex sonic textures. This approach enables the creation of rich percussive tones that can be shaped with precision.

Included with Modal VST is Radian VST, which utilizes the same synthesis method to model circular membranes, expanding the range of acoustic simulations available. Together, these instruments offer a unique palette for sound designers and musicians seeking to explore membrane-based synthesis techniques in their productions.

One of Modal's standout features is its ability to stretch partials, which allows it to generate timbres reminiscent of thick bass guitar strings. This capability extends its use beyond percussion, making it suitable for various acoustic emulations. Modal VST provides an innovative approach to crafting distinctive sounds that blend organic qualities with synthetic flexibility.
