02 — STORY

Discover the story of Airteq. An imaginary instrument inspired by real ones

Airteq is not a sample library and not a traditional synthesizer. It generates sound in real time from a physical model of air flowing through virtual pipes. Listen to the team at Modartt:

03 — FEATURES

DYNAMIC AEROPHONE MODELING

Airteq generates all sounds in real time by physically modeling how each pipe reacts to the wind supply, based on our recently developed technology of Dynamic Aerophone Modeling.

MODULATE THE AIR

In Airteq, modulation does not simply move a filter: it changes the behavior of the sound source itself, influencing the model as it sounds.

BUILD YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT

Different families of virtual pipes are available, each with its own timbre. Combine flutes, reeds and mixtures that respond differently to the way you modulate the airflow.

FREE YOUR EXPRESSIVITY

Airteq responds to velocity, pitch bend and aftertouch, and fully supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE).
