Modal 002R Editor

Midi Quest for Macintosh and Windows

Sound Quest's Midi Quest multi-instrument editor/librarian gives you the tools to get the most from your Modal 002R. Midi Quest includes all of the standard features you would expect to find in a 002R Editor along with unique capabilities found nowhere else.

The Modal 002R doen't have an accessible SysEx implementation so all communication and editing of the instrument is handled with CC or NRPN messages. This limits the options that Midi Quest can provide compared to other instruments, however, Midi Quest takes full advantage of the patch parameters available to it.

Integrate the 002R with your DAW and use it the same way as a soft-synth or run the editor as a separate application connected to your 002R. You can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition, archive and manage your 002R from the focal point of your studio. Midi Quest Pro offers the widest selection of editor/librarian plug-in technologies: AU, VST3, VST2, AAX, and MFX.

Below is a small sampling of Midi Quest features. For more detail on Midi Quest and the differences between the three versions, click here.
