Cycling '74 announced at Musikmesse the release of MODE 1.0, a set of five unique instrument and effect plug-ins for Mac OS X designed by CreativeSynth Development. The package includes three instruments and two effects units for VST- and RTAS-host applications.

The MODE collection includes: BANG, a single-voice percussion module that combines sample playback, FM synthesis and analog-modeling drum synthesis; MONO, a monophonic synthesizer that combines the ease of use and warm filter effects of an analog synthesizer with the control and clarity of an FM engine; POLY, a versatile polyphonic synthesizer loosely based on classic DCO synths, that uses waveforms sampled from popular vintage digital and analog instruments and features a unique polyphonic arpeggiator; SPIN, a rhythm-based effects processor that features a state-variable filter, panning effects, rhythmic gating, delay, distortion and bit reduction; and WASH, an effects processor built around an interconnected network of six fully controllable, recirculating delay

MODE has a MSRP of $295 and will be available for purchase from Cycling '74 (www.cycling74.com) in the third quarter of 2003.
