Symphonic scoring tools


Having the right tools makes the difference between getting a job done, and getting it exactly right.
Modus—Jeff Russo offers a toolset that will inspire new ideas, and help you implement them quickly.



Designed specifically for TV scoring and underscoring, Modus was commissioned by Emmy-award winning
composer Jeff Russo for his work on Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard.



Perform tensions, transitions, and continuums easily in a variety of symphonic and choral flavors.
And with a palette of unique instrumental colors, you can create sonic worlds that no-one has ever heard before.

Tensions


Create instant on-screen suspense: Build complex chords, overtone series, and clusters
with a single key, using the modwheel as a tension controller.

Transitions


Change scenes easily: Custom-recorded transitions swell to a crescendo before switching
mood with a new pitch or articulation.

Transitions


Change scenes easily: Custom-recorded transitions swell to a crescendo before switching
mood with a new pitch or articulation.

Continuums


Indispensable for underscoring: Carefully constructed pads shift through multiple layers
and textures, creating space and atmosphere.

Colors

21 instruments and ensembles


Create character: A wide selection of orchestral ensembles, choir, and percussion. Plus unique specialist patches, including a majestic shakuhachi, a choir singing in Klingon, and custom instrument blends designed by Jeff Russo.

Shakuhachi

A high D and a low A shakuhachi, both expertly played.

Vibes and Glock

A delicate ringing tone for, in Jeff’s words, “the sound of ʼtrek”.

Klingon choir

A male choir singing staccato and marcato, but with klingon vowels.

Alto flutes and violas

One of several custom-built patches. Sounds great, saves time.
