The Modal 008R Digital I/O Card provides the Modal 008R synthesiser with digital audio and
MIDI input and output capability over Class Compliant* USB, plus the ability to apply a range
of audio effects to the sound presets.
More specifically, the Digital Card allows up to eight channels (one per voice) of audio to
be sent to a DAW over a single USB connection at either 48 or 96KHz / 24 bits, as well as
‘master’ stereo pairs (either with or without effects) over USB at up to 192KHz / 24 bits.
Additionally, it provides a stereo input from a DAW, pre-filter stage on the 008R, allowing
external audio to be processed by the 008R analogue VCF and VCA (again at either 48, 96 or
192KHz / 24 bits)
The I/O Card also features three discrete effects buses, with Chorus, Delay and Reverb
channels, which can be configured and controlled to create custom effects presets and easily
be applied to single timbre patches or multi-timbral performance setups.
USB MIDI works in the same way as the existing MIDI IO of the synth: it works with notes,
CCs, pitchbend, program change messages, aftertouch, clock timing/start/stop, and all the
existing controls/settings (e.g. MIDI filters) work with USB MIDI as well.
*(class compliant on Apple Macintosh™ computers, may require a driver for some Windows™
PCs)
