Screen controls
You can select and change the value of most of the synth parameters directly with the
dedicated rotary encoders: the Modal 002 interface is designed to be extremely intuitive and
easy to use, so that all the most important parameters are easily accessible and tweakable. The
‘screen controls’ represent a useful alternative to encoders and switches, and they can also be
used to edit parameters not accessible through the front panel controls.
Modal 002’s LCD screen is context sensitive (provided that PageSwitch option is On - ‘Global
Settings’): as soon as you turn an encoder, the related screen page is immediately displayed,
with the selected parameter highlighted in red.
Keypad
Hover mode
You can use the keypad to
select a specific parameter box
on the screen - you can see the
subscript numbers shown in the
bottom left of every box in every
screen page (except for the patch
loading page).
Edit mode
You can use the keypad to type
the value of that parameter.
Key 0
In hover mode on every page
key 0 is assigned to the ‘X’ exit
button. In edit mode typing 0
before entering other values
allows for minus numbers to be
entered. For example typing 0, 2, 4 would make -24.
TIP: A clever usage of the 002 interface is to select a parameter by touching the related
encoder, then type the exact value with the keypad. This is very useful for either putting many
values to zero quickly or generally being more precise with the edit.

Hover mode
Grey cursor and text.
Turning datawheel and +/- navigates
around the screen to different parameters.
Keypad can be used to shortcut to specific
parameters and enter edit mode.
Push datawheel or press select to switch to
edit mode.
Select button
Alternative to pushing
datawheel, up to user’s
preference. Select is mainly
used for switching between
hover / edit mode. So you
navigate to a parameter
in hover mode then press
select to edit the value. It is
also used to load patches.
+ / - buttons
Alternative to turning
datawheel. Pushing once
increments one step.
Pressing and holding
repeats increments.
Menu buttons
6 buttons below the screen to navigate
quickly to different sections.
Some are dual function, where pressing
twice will bring up other pages.
Links up to bottom menu of the screen
Datawheel
Large rotary encoder for data selection and entry. Turning clockwise increments, anti-clockwise
decrements and pushing selects. Same functionality as the Select and + / - buttons.
Edit mode
Red cursor and white text.
Turning datawheel and +/- changes values
of currently selected parameter.
Keypad can be used to type parameter
values. 0 followed by a number is a minus.
Push datawheel or press select to switch to
hover mode.
