Synthesizer

The COBALT8 is a virtual analog 8-voice synthesizer that faithfully simulates the powerful sounds of the analog synthesizers that have made history, while offering incredibly advanced signal creation and processing capabilities. The COBALT8 is based on the lines and manufacturing quality of the older ARGON8 wavetable sound, and is certainly a new standard in the analog modeling synthesizer market.

J'ai acheté le Modal Argon 8X et le Modal Cobalt 8X chez Star's Music à Lille, j'adore ces deux machines, surtout avec les dernières mises à jour qui ont corrigés les défauts de jeunesse de ces deux superbes synthétiseurs. Châssis métal, clavier Fatar TP9, elles sont d'une grandes solidité. Elles ont d'énormes possibilités au niveau sonore, et il est très facile de créer des sons directement depuis le tableau de commande, bien qu'il existe une application très bien faite, pour ordi et tablette, qui permet de créer et gérer facilement ces synthétiseurs.
