IK Multimedia MODO MAX UPGRADE | Physical-Modeling Bass and Drum Integrated Sound Suite — Upgrade
MODO MAX UPGRADE is an upgrade license offered to existing users that integrates a physical-modeling-based bass and drum kit into a single working environment. It trades large sample sizes for realistic playing detail and smooth operation, making it ideal for musicians and sound professionals focused on efficient production, songwriting/arranging, and soundtrack design.
