Introduction
Modal 001 is a 2-voice analogue-digital hybrid synthesizer.
It features two high-resolution NCO oscillators per voice (plus two sub oscillators), Modal-
designed four-pole transistor ladder filter with real analogue morphing, VCA, two LFOs, 2
modulation matrices and very powerful Sequencer and Arpeggiator.
The hardware has been manufactured with high-quality components: FATAR semi-weighted
three octave key mechanism with aftertouch, white metal case, aluminum turned encoders
and high quality 4.3” LCD screen.
Among the many connections, Modal 001 features an ethernet port to connect your synth to
your network and enable updates via the internet (no need for MIDI sysex dumps) and also
access to the Modal cloud features and HTML Web User Interface.

Please update your unit immediately
Internet connectivity is a key-point for Modal products: we release updates on a regular
basis, constantly providing new features and bug fixes.
Please read ‘Settings’ (chap.7) for a more detailed description of the update procedure.

Please do not power cycle the unit quickly
Always leave 60 seconds between powering off and on
When switching off your 001, the internal computer needs some time to properly shut
down: if you do not wait at least 60 seconds before powering back on, you may encounter
some strange behaviours on your 001, including the OS not booting and incorrect voice
parameter values.
The power cycling guide must be followed in order to ensure correct behaviour of your
001.
