  • We confess, the Modal Electronics SKULPT got hidden behind something else on our instrument racks - it being so small, but we rediscovered it during a long overdue studio clearup. We thought we'd pair it up with the Arturia MicroFreak, stick them both into the Ventris Dual Reverb (a favourite of ours for its routing flexibility and well, the sound)
    The Micro Freak is supplying the mono bass sound - has a Chemical Brothers vibe to it we think, and the SKULPT the harmonic pads.

    Nick and sonicstate introduced me to the world of synths almost a decade ago. And today I'm still impressed what this man can do with those instruments.

    Bravo. Sci fi soundtrack. Crazy times when the guitar pedal is worth more then the two synths.

    Great stuff! I’m really liking the look of both of these synths. The micro freak is particularly of interest seeing how easy and reversible it is to turn it into a module.

      @Emory Baker Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
      I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    Is there some kind of sync between the two? There's a yellow cable there but you're playing them independently. Is it to keep the LFOs clocked or similar?

    Awesome Nick! I'll get my Skulpt next month! Really love the fact that Modal is from Bristol, where I spend my summer holidays. The Mirco is on my wishlist, too. I suppose those two are perfect for Lofi Ambient or Synthwave projects.

    The Skulpt and Microfreak are so insanely powerful for the price. I’m highly considering the Skulpt over the Argon8 just for the price tag but loosing the extra wavetables and 4 voices kinda stings. Anyone own a Skulpt that can vouch for it being as good as it seems?

    Nice to see/hear side by side after I decided on the Freak over the Skulpt because I am poor and am forced to make such decisions. :( Considering a Kraft Synth as a consolation prize... that's right Kraft not Krave because again I am poor.
