Modal Cobalt8

Cobalt 8

Based on the tradition of warm and punchy analog-style synthesizer sounds shaped by legendary synthesizers of the past, the COBALT8 unlocks the full creative potential of analog waveforms. This powerful, inspiring instrument reinvents the aesthetics of analog sounds, inviting musicians, producers and sound designers to explore a new era of virtual analog synth textures, far beyond the boundaries of its analog ancestors.

• True 8-voice polyphony
• Solid steel and aluminum chassis
• 64 high-resolution virtual analog oscillators, up to 8 per voice
• Two independent and self-contained oscillator groups with sine, pulse, triangle and sawtooth waveforms, 34 different algorithms including: Complex analog synthesis techniques, integrated crossmodulation (SYNC, RM and many others), PWM, smooth morphing between VA waves, bit-crushing, filtered noise
• Advanced oscillator drift
• Four-pole morphable ladder filter with resonance and four switchable configurations
• Three dedicated envelope generators for AMP, MOD and FILTER that can be accessed independently or all three simultaneously, including negative (inverted) versions for MOD and FILTER ENVs
