Polyverse has announced the launched version 1.0.0 of Supermodel, its new modal filter plugin that uses hundreds of narrow filter bands wor
king together to emulate the resonating qualities of acoustic bodies, both real and imagined.
A discounted public beta release of the plugin first became available in October, and all beta owners will be granted a free upgrade to version 1.0.0. For new users, Supermodal is available directly from the Polyverse website or affiliate retailers for $99.
“We are pleased to share Supermodal 1.0.0 with both our public beta users and anyone waiting for the right time to jump in and explore this exciting new tool,” says Polyverse CEO Assaf Dar Sagol. “This release is the culmination of a lot of dreaming and hard work here at Polyverse. We also extend our deepest thanks to all the users who took the time to dive into the plug-in and share their feedback over the last few months.
“Your input has been instrumental in helping us refine the Supermodal experience and has contributed to making version 1.0.0 even more fun, inviting, and rock solid than before. We look forward to hearing more from our community as they create wild new sounds the way only Supermodal can. Happy experimenting!”
Version 1.0.0 updates:
- Filter stability and sound improvements
- Modulation Amount Sliders now labeled according to the active modulator
- Active Modulation Buttons are highlighted when hovering over modulation slots
- Random and Sequencer modulation modes now have a UniPolar function
- Sequencer: Arrow keys can be used to shift and invert phase
- Sequencer: Letter keys can be used to select a corresponding shape
- Additional presets included; improved initial preset
- Right-click Preset Browse button to save a new preset without opening the preset list
- Ctrl – /= or Command -/= shortcuts to resize the plugin.
At the heart of Supermodal are two filter sections working in tandem. On the left of Supermodal’s interface users will find the Classic Filter, a zero-feedback state variable filter that is designed to morph smoothly between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filter modes with its “Type” control. It offers a fixed slope of 24 dB per octave, evoking well-known analog filters, and is capable of both “sweet” and “chunky” filter sounds with the help of a built-in saturation algorithm and input and output controls that allow users to drive it for a fatter, musical sound.
Price and Availability
This release marks the end of the discounted public beta, and all beta owners will receive a free upgrade to version 1.0. For those just discovering Supermodal, it is now available for purchase on website or through affiliate retailers for $99.
