Modal Electronics Cobalt8 37-Key Virtual Analog Synthesizer CARRY BAG KIT

Building on the tradition of warm and punchy analog-style synth sounds conceived by legendary synthesizers from the past, Modal Electronics Cobalt8 unlocks the full creative potential of analog waveforms. This powerful, inspiring instrument reinvents the aesthetics of analog sounds and invites musicians, producers and sound designers to explore a new era of virtual analog synthesizer textures far beyond the limits of its analog forebears.

On top of the innovative oscillator engine of Cobalt8, Modal added a morphable 4-pole ladder filter. Combined with unparalleled modulation options, an inspiring realtime/step sequencer, the energizing arpeggiator, the premium Fatar 37-note keyboard, MPE, studio-quality effects and MODALapp integration, Cobalt8 is the perfect synth for everyone who wants a versatile electronic music instrument to play vintage synth sounds and is eager to enter new sound dimensions.

8 true polyphonic voices tempt players to lay out wide string or rich synth pad chords, while a monophonic bass or lead patch played with 64 oscillators can shake the walls of any stadium. And with the avant-garde sound forming features, every synth enthusiast can refine their performance with sounds that no other synthesizer is able to generate.
