This synth sold on 3-26-2026.
SOLD: Modor NF-1M in good condition with new power supply and high-quality USB cable. This compact 8-voice synth blends virtual analog warmth with wild digital flavors, including a standout formant filter for vocal-like textures. Its oscillator section covers everything from classic shapes to gritty experimental tones, and the deep mod matrix invites detailed sound shaping. The delay is especially wild - crank the mix and feedback for massive overdriven tails (fun warning: protect your monitors). It's the mini version of the NF-1, with fewer hands-on controls but full access via pages and a direct USB connection to the Modor editor. Killer for pads, leads, FX, and anyone looking to push sonic boundaries.
This unit is in excellent condition. The only issue we notice is a very slight discoloration of the knob caps (a common issue on these units). New caps can be ordered from Modor Music if desired, but we see no need in this case.
Sale includes the synth, correct power supply, and a new 6 ft USB cable.

- Synthesis Type: Digital synthesis with subtractive, FM, formant-based FM (FBFM), and additive capabilities.
- Polyphony: 10 voices; monophonic and legato modes; not multitimbral.
- Oscillators: 3 per voice:
- Waveforms: Sawtooth, triangle, square (PWM), noise, additive (10 harmonics), FM, FBFM, Karplus-Strong, and vocal formants.
- FM and FBFM synthesis with adjustable carrier/modulator ratios.
- Oscillator sync; oscillator 2 can modulate oscillator 1; oscillator 3 offers independent tuning and level.
- Formant synthesis provides vocal-like character with adjustable shift and spread.
- Filters: One resonant multimode filter per voice:
- Modes: Lowpass, highpass, bandpass (12dB/octave), notch, and comb filter (OS003 and later).
- Formant filter: Morphs between 3 vowel shapes; 10 presets for vocal effects.
- Filter envelope: ADSTR type with modulation over cutoff, resonance, or FM depth.
- Effects: DSP-based effects chain:
- Chorus, flanger, and phaser with rate/depth and sync options.
- Delay: Adjustable time and feedback, MIDI-syncable.
- Reverb: Selectable size and decay; useful for ambient textures.
- Routing: Fixed serial order (modulation → delay → reverb).
- Modulation:
- Modulation Matrix: 3 slots with assignable sources (LFOs, envelopes, velocity, mod wheel) and destinations (filter, pitch, FM amount, effects).
- 3 LFOs: Multiple waveforms, free-running or MIDI-syncable.
- 2 ADSTR envelopes: One each for filter and amplifier.
- Velocity and aftertouch support for dynamic modulation.
- Memory: 448 user patch slots (7 banks of 64); includes factory preset banks downloadable via SysEx.
- Arpeggiator: Up, Down, Random, and Chord modes; adjustable range (1–4 octaves); tempo, gate, and swing parameters; MIDI-syncable.
- Control & Interface:
- Compact desktop layout with 17 rotary encoders and 1 main encoder.
- OLED display for patch editing and parameter navigation.
- Same engine as the NF-1 in a smaller footprint; fewer direct-access controls but all parameters are editable via menu system.
- Connectivity:
- Stereo audio output (unbalanced 1/4" L/R)
- MIDI In/Out/Thru (5-pin DIN)
- Headphone output (1/4")
- USB port for firmware updates only (not USB-MIDI)
- Physical Design: White metal chassis, compact footprint; 245 x 135 x 55 mm; ~1.1 kg (2.4 lbs)
- Additional Features:
- Unison mode for stacking voices (1–4 per note)
- Formant sequencer for morphing vowel-based motion
- OS updates unlock envelope looping, MPE support, and more
- Capable of both crisp digital textures and smooth analog-like tones; excels at techno, ambient, and experimental sound design
- Limitations:Effects routing is fixed; no external audio input; fewer hands-on controls than full-size NF-1
