F METLZ

Physical metal percussion synthesis — strike, shape, and explore resonant sound in real time. METL, a physically-inspired metal percussion module for Voltage Modular. Instead of relying on samples, METLZ generates sound from resonant metal structures such as plates, bars, and bells. Every sound begins with an impact — and where you hit the surface directly affects the tone, harmonics, and stereo image. This means you’re not just triggering sounds, but interacting with a virtual object. Different models produce completely different spectral responses, from tight percussive hits to long, evolving metallic textures. Parameters like Decay, Character, Impact, and Width shape how energy moves through the material, giving you a wide range of expressive control. The X/Y hit position adds a natural variation layer, influencing both timbre and stereo placement in a physically intuitive way. With assignable modulation inputs, METLZ integrates easily into modular patches, allowing continuous variation and evolving metallic soundscapes. Whether you’re creating rhythmic elements, industrial hits, or ambient textures — METLZ offers a different approach to sound design: physical, responsive, and alive.
