Modal Electronics CRAFTsynth 2.0 Synthesizer

The Modal Electronics CRAFTsynth 2.0 is an evolution of the monophonic synth and raises the bar for affordable, portable synths.

8 Oscillators of Pure Portable Power

With 8 oscillators, 40 unique waveforms with sounds from the Modal 002 along with VA, digital and generative wave forms you’ve got no shorter of awesome sounds to work with.

Combine those with the built-in sequenced arpeggiator, MIDI DIN and Sync in/out, built-in delay and distortion FX and the incredible portability of the CRAFTsynth 2.0 and you’ve got a highly affordable synth that really raises the bar.

• Modal 002, VA, Digital and Generative Wave Forms Included
• Built-In Sequenced Arpeggiator
• State-Variable Filter
• Built-In Digital and Delay FX
• 2 LFOs, 3 Envelope Generators, 8 Modulation Sources
• 8 Custom Scales
• MIDI DIN and Analogue Clock Sync
• Free MODALapp
• Powered by 3 x AA Batteries or USB
• Extremely Portable and Compact

A Huge Improvement

Compared to the CRAFTsynth 1, the new CRAFTsynth 2.0 portable synth is a huge leap forward with many new or improved features.

With the 2.0 you get 40 morphable waveforms (as apposed to the 5 non-morphable waveforms present on the original CRAFTsynth). You now also have two LFOs instead of just one.

You also get the benefits of a sequenced arpeggiator, MIDI-DIN IO ports and analogue clock sync IO ports.

What’s more; the CRAFTsynth 2.0 comes to you as a complete, pre-built device with an enclosure while the original was a DIY device with no enclosure.

This is just a small list of the many, many improvements the CRAFTsynth 2.0 has over its predecessor which stands out as a fantastic and powerful synth that is at the height of competition in its class.

Huge Sounds and Huge Potential

This monophonic wavetable synthesizer is just brimming with potential thanks to its 8 oscillators.

40 unique waveforms are available to you including CA, digital and generative waves and some great waves taken from the Modal 002 unit.

Making it easy to find the sounds you want quickly; the waveforms are split into 8 separate banks of 5 morphable waveform sets.

Make Your Sound Your Own

There are multiple tools and effects built-in that allow you to sculpt your own signature sound with the CRAFTsynth 2.

You can process and cross modulate the waveforms with one of 16 oscillator modifiers which options such as Frequency/Phase Modulation, Hard/Window Sync, Ring/Amp Modulation, Derez/Bitcrush along with Wavefolders and Waveshapers all on offer.

There are also three envelope generators for Filter, Amplitude and Modulation and two audio rate LFOs.

A two-pole resistant filter is on board and can be morphed from low bass, through band pass up to high pass.

Also, you can add extra dimension to your sound with built-in Delay and Distortion which is made from waveshaping overdrive, not bitcrushing.

Connect and Sync

MIDI DIN in and out is onboard for huge potential while analogue clock sync in and out (configured to the KORG/Teenage Engineering specification) allows for great integration with your existing setup.

Class compliant MIDI is provided over USB connection to your host computer or tablet.

You also have headphone and line outputs so you can listen privately or send your sounds elsewhere be it speakers or another device.

Fantastic Portability, Great Performance Power

Despite boasting tonnes of features and incredibly powerful performance, the CRAFTsynth 2.0 is incredibly small. Its longest dimension is just 6 inches and it weighs approximately 300g (that’s less than 1 lb!) making this an amazingly portable synthesizer.

In addition to its light weight and compact design, this unit is made even more portable by the fact that the CRAFTsynth 2 can be powered by USB or three AAA batteries.
