Modbap Modular has just dropped some thrilling news for modular synthesis fans. Say hello to Trinity 2.0, the latest iteration of their digital drum synth array. With fresh features, enhanced drum algorithms, and modern connectivity upgrades, Trinity 2.0 aims to elevate the Eurorack experience for both studio and live performance enthusiasts.

Unveiled on January 20, 2025, this updated drum synth is poised to redefine modular beatmaking. Whether you’re designing intricate drum patterns or jamming live, Trinity 2.0 offers unmatched flexibility and creativity.

Trinity 2.0‘s New Ways to Create Rhythm

The heart of Trinity 2.0 lies in its updated drum synth algorithms. While it still features the original four algorithms loved by users, two new additions make this version a standout:

  • ORB: A modal synthesis engine that produces resonant, tonal percussion, perfect for creating melodic and harmonic textures.
  • CLANG: Focused on crafting bright metallic sounds that cut through mixes with clarity.

These innovative algorithms are powered by Trinity 2.0’s three independent drum channels, giving musicians a playground for layered and dynamic sound design. For hands-on exploration, attendees at Buchla and Friends will get an exclusive chance to experience its capabilities firsthand.

Workflow Meets Modern Functionality

One of Trinity 2.0’s game-changing features is its advanced preset management system. This allows for up to 12 customizable drum kit presets, with the option to save and recall four presets per channel. This functionality makes it easier than ever for live performers to switch between sounds without interrupting their flow.

Another noteworthy feature is the introduction of MIDI 12-pad finger drumming. This addition supports real-time creativity, whether you’re performing complex beats or improvising transitions. Furthermore, the module supports CV (control voltage) inputs for each drum channel, adding even more flexibility for modular enthusiasts.

Connectivity for Today’s Beatmakers

Trinity 2.0’s shift from micro-USB to USB-C connectivity is a significant upgrade. USB-C ensures compatibility with modern devices, including DAWs and external hardware, simplifying the integration into contemporary setups. The addition of USB-C MIDI support allows for seamless control, whether you’re syncing with other MIDI instruments or triggering patterns from a controller.

While USB-C is exclusive to the new Trinity 2.0 hardware, Modbap has ensured that the accompanying firmware update benefits users of both the original Trinity and the new version. This inclusive approach reflects Modbap Modular’s commitment to its community.
