Pronounced ‘colours,’ Modbap Modular’s new CLRS dynamic effects processor called follows Modbap’s Hue audio colour and textural processing module, which has found favour in DJ and producer workflows since its release.
In its 10HP format, the unit can be an addition to any Eurorack set-up or as an end-of-chain effects processor for gear like drum machines and grooveboxes. Performace is the cornerstone of Modbap Modular’s mission and product line. With CLRS, the DJ-style filter brings organic movement and sound sculpting to any studio session or live performance set.
‘Both CLRS and Hue are really about adding colour to sound,’ explains Modbap Modular founder Corry Banks. ‘My vision with CLRS was to take what Hue does best – enhancing and transforming the tone and texture of any source audio – and demonstrate how much utility can fit into such a compact unit. Adding stereo functionality takes it to the next level.’
‘This new module has more sweet spots, more surprises,’ Banks continues. ‘When I think about distortion, for example, it’s not about noise – I’m usually going for something that creates a pleasant, nostalgic sound reminiscent of something recorded to tape. It’s about adding harmonics, enhancing harmonics. I love the subtleties of tape and recording with vintage audio gear. Although it can get gnarly, CLRS is about those subtleties and nuances.’
Key features:
- Flexible audio processing.
- DJ-style filter (HP and LP) for seamless live performance.
- CV inputs for Tape (Mag), Drive and Lo-fi effects,
- One-knob compressor with switchable ratio.
