Request For Music has released F_METLZ, a playable metallic percussion and resonator module for Voltage Modular.
METLZ is a playable metallic percussion and resonator module for Voltage Modular. It is designed to cover a wide range of struck metal sounds, from bright small objects to large resonant bodies and evolving cascades. Instead of using sample playback, METLZ generates its sound from a bank of resonant modes combined with different excitation models, so each instrument type reacts differently in pitch, decay, stereo spread, impact, strike position and internal energy behavior. The result is a module that spans sharp triangle-like tones, bright crotales and glock colors, compact cowbell attack, tubular and handbell resonance, flatter plate textures, hard anvil and brake-drum strikes, unstable industrial metal, heavy church-bell weight, blooming gong washes and bell-tree cascades.
