When an object is struck, or excited, it vibrates and makes a recognizable sound. Those vibrations travel and bounce through the object material and interact to create standing waves, resulting in resonating frequencies called modes. Watch the video to learn more.

The modal filter utilizes hundreds of surgically precise bandpass filters to model the resonant bodies of various instruments, objects, waveforms, and more. Polyverse created 9 models, each with 3 variations for a total of 27 modes including a range of flangers, phasers, vocal filters, and physical and even mathematically modeled resonators. With decay, dampening, and partial settings, Supermodal provides fine-tuned control to either subtly or dramatically fashion these unique sonic characteristics into your sound palette.

The glamor of Supermodal is fully unveiled when combining its powerful filters with its robust modulation system. The 4 modulation slots offer 6 modulation sources including Meta knob, ADSR, Envelope follower, Sequencer, MIDI/CV triggers, and Randomizer. You can cross-modulate between slots to create even more intense modulation. Both the state-variable filter and modal filter operate in stereo allowing you to modulate the left and right signal independently, together, or separately to deliver awe-inspiring stereo effects. Virtually all parameters in Supermodal can receive modulation.

Supermodal’s classic state-variable filter smoothly blends between high-pass, band-pass and low-pass while working in parallel with the modal filter. The SVF filter uses a 24 dB per-octave slope that is familiar to many classic analog synthesizers, with the ability to boost its resonance to self-resonate. It can be further driven with the Drive feature to add warmth and thicken the signal. Crossfade between the state-variable and modal filter with its Blend slider for seamless morphing.
