Modal Electronics Cobalt5S 5-Voice Virtual Analog Synthesizer CABLE KIT

Founded on Modal Electronics' next-generation Cobalt synth architecture and housed in an ultra-portable go-anywhere footprint, the USB-powered Cobalt5S is made to move and ready to spark your creativity wherever and whenever inspiration strikes. Whether it's a singularly authentic replication of classic analog sounds or the most contemporary leading-edge texture, the Cobalt5S extended virtual analog sound engine delivers on all counts.

Cobalt5S takes inspiration from the iconic sound of its analog forebears, transcending any and all limitations to take a leading-edge synth architecture truly mobile. From sultry basslines to expansive, mutating pads and everywhere in between, Cobalt5S is not just modeling run-of-the-mill analog sounds – this is beyond analog, anywhere.
