Modal Skulpt

Overview and synthesis

OVERVIEW Compact lastic body with 16 touch pads allow you to play the synthesiser without sending it MIDI from another device. The octave can be configured using the OCT+ and OCT - buttons. SKULPT It can be powered either through the micro USB socket, or by 6 x AA batteries installed in the underside battery compartm

SYNTHESIS Polyphony is 4 voices with 32 oscillator virtual analogue synthesiser, can be played in 1/2/4 voices modes.
SKULPT synthesiser features 2 morphable waveform oscillators identified by Wave 1 and Wave 2 labels.

Filter, EG and LFO

FILTER Resonant filter that can be morphed from low pass, through band pass, to high pass

ENVELOPE 3 separate 4-stage Envelope Generators (i.e. envelopes), one for the filter (FILT-EG), one for the amplifier (AMP-EG) and one for modulations (MOD-EG). With negative amounts only the attack, decay and sustain levels are inverted, the release phase will still tend to 0.

LFO two individual low frequency oscillators: LFO 1 is a simple LFO and is ‘global’ across the patch (so it affects the whole sound); LFO 2 has more parameters and is applied polyphonically or ‘per voice’ (so it affects each note/voice individually).
Modulation Matrix with 8 Slots, 8 Modulation Sources and 37 Modulation destinations.

Arpeggiator, FX, sequencer and Arpeggiator

FX two built in effects, a waveshaping distortion and a delayeal time or step mode with tie/rest function.

MEMORY 128 rom sounds + 128 USER FREE with 11 family instruments for quick retrival. a free utility called MIDI Control Center can be downloaded for free from arturia website.

ARPEGGIATOR with division, direction, octave, bipolar swing and sustain controlsThe speed of the arpeggiator is controlled by the current clock which can either be received from the sync in port, external MIDI or from the internal clock in SKULPT.

SEQUENCER realtime mode that can record up to 256 notes at midi clock resolution with 4 notes of polyphony. Overdub is automatic - simply keep adding notes when the sequencer is recording.
