I find Chromaphone more accurate and predictable but as a result a bit more clinical.v1md wrote: Wed Jul 12, 2023 10:06 amI agree that Modus and Cromaphone are essentially different instruments, both of which I like for different reasons. Modus is an incredibly alive instrument, very organic, weird, perhaps “limited” in some sense but at the same time deep in terms of user-instrument interaction. The good thing is, it requires a little tinkering to be played, you kind of have to train yourself to discover all the ins and outs. It makes the learning process fun.WasteLand wrote: Wed Jul 12, 2023 9:23 amyou can't really compare Modus to Chromaphone, indeed Modus is kind of a specialized soft synth, the materials, how they are connected (and how you can change the connection), the way you can program collisions, etc.JerGoertz wrote: Wed Jul 12, 2023 9:04 am The presets all seemed kind of same-y to me. Hopefully this can be overcome by rolling your own.
For now, think I'll stick with Chromaphone.
still i managed quite a bandwidth of presets, different sounding. also the playing style is important.
but still; it are plates, strings, rattles. they are driven by plucks or drives. you can change how.. also you can drive them by a saw or sinus wave. which gives also great result.
but of course it can't be to your liking.
doesn't work for you music style, etc.
it is really worth a demo. Physical Audio has its own approach, which you like or not.
i like it... but that's me.
Modus is less predictable and more "organic" sounding.
Both have their place and both are great.
The one criticism I'd have with Modus is that the presets don't really show off its range.
