The Overloud Gem MODULA includes three of the most iconic modulation units in a single plug-in. In addition to offering the most faithful emulation available today, it extends the original units' capabilities by adding many features not available on the analog units.
 
Three Units In One Plug-In
 
DIMENSION
The Dimension unit offers a very soft and organic modulation. It was the go-to unit for vocals in the 80s and 90s but it can also be used on a full mix to increase the space perception without adding reverb. Its input section has a very musical harmonic generation when pushed into saturation.
 
SYMPHONIC
The Symphonic unit is the classic digital chorus of the 90s. It has a 3-voices modulation scheme with sinewave LFOs for heavy modulations. It was the Zakk Wylde and Mike Stern chorus, but it has heavily used on vocals and synths as well.
 
ENSEMBLE
The Ensemble circuit was included in a line of strings machines, so it is particularly suited for synth and pad sounds. It can create a huge stereo depth on strings and soundscapes as well.
 
Beyond The Original Hardware
 
MODULA extends the features of the original hardware and combines the flexibility of the digital world to the character of the analog processing.
 
INPUT SATURATION
- You can push into saturation the input stage of the units to drive their super-musical harmonic generation.
BUILT-IN EQ
- With the built-in parametric EQ you can sculpt the tone of the wet signal, without the need of complex external routing.
STEREO WIDTH CONTROL
- You can change the amount of the stereo width, from mono to double the original width.
 
DUAL-MONO MODE
With the Dual-Mono Mode you can process separately the left and the right channels with different settings, in order to increase the stereo depth.
 
ENVELOPE CONTROLLED PARAMETERS
All the main parameters can be dynamically controlled by the input envelope. The effect will "breathe" according to the level of the input signal. This is particularly desired in Electronic Music!For example, the modulation speed can increase during the transients. Or the amount of effect can be decreased on louder passages to increase their clarity, while keeping a sense of wider space on the softer parts.
 
CUSTOMIZE LFO SHAPES
Thanks to the analog modeling design, it is possible to virtually mod the original circuit and change the LFO and filters behavior while keeping the character of the unit. You can experiment with LFO shapes different than the original, to change the motion of the modulation, or add resonances to transform the chorus into a flanger.
Parameters can be linked individually using the custom link panel.
