MODUS - Jeff Russo

Modus—Jeff Russo provides a toolkit that will spark new ideas and assist you in quickly implementing them.
Modus was commissioned by Emmy-winning composer Jeff Russo for his work on Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard and was designed specifically for TV scoring and underscoring.

Tensions, transitions, and continuums are easily performed in a variety of symphonic and choral genres.
You can construct sonic landscapes that no one has ever heard before by using a palette of distinct instrumental hues.

Tensions

Create on-screen suspense instantly: Using the modwheel as a tension controller, you can create complicated chords, overtone series, and clusters with a single key.

Transitions

Easily switch between scenes: Custom-recorded transitions build to a climax before changing mood with a different pitch or articulation.

Continuums

Carefully crafted pads shift across numerous layers and textures to create space and atmosphere, making them indispensable for underscoring.

21 instruments and ensembles

A diverse range of orchestral groupings, choirs, and percussionists. Plus, there's a beautiful shakuhachi, a choir chanting in Klingon, and Jeff Russo's creative instrument blends.

Shakuhachi - A high D and a low A shakuhachi, both performed expertly.

Vibes and Glock - A delicate chiming tone for "the sound of trek," in Jeff's words.

Klingon choir - A male choir that sings staccato and marcato with klingon vowels.

One of several custom-built patches for alto flutes and violas. It sounds fantastic and saves time.

Created with Jeff Russo
