Animistic Modulation System

We're thrilled to announce AniMod, a revolutionary modulation system within MNDALA 2, inspired by the dynamic networks of the natural world, the deep audio engines used for video games, and the creative exploration of modular synthesizers. AniMod empowers musicians, producers, and sound designers with an expressive arsenal of modulators, allowing you to shape your soundscapes with unparalleled precision.
 

With six versatile modulators at your fingertips, AniMod opens up a world of sonic possibilities. From classic wave shapes like sine and triangle, to the more adventurous smoothed random, custom, and stepped modulations, every sound becomes a canvas for your creativity. Take control of rate and intensity, and easily navigate the sonic realm assigning them to the X, Y, and Z axes that integrate MNDALA 2's entire dynamic control ecosystem.
 

AniMod is more than its specs — it's about infusing life and motion into your music. Connect the modulators to several destinations, from Sample Vibrato to Global Effects Macro controls, and watch your sound come alive with immersive, evolving textures. With AniMod, your music transcends the ordinary, embracing a dynamic and captivating sonic experience.
