Modal Electronics Limited Cobalt8X 61-Key 8-Voice Extended Virtual Analog Synthesizer Stage Bundle

The Cobalt8X from Modal Electronics is a virtual analog synthesizer that brings the warmth and punch of classic analog tones into the modern age. With an innovative oscillator engine and morphable filter at its core, this 8-voice extended virtual analog synth unlocks seemingly endless possibilities for crafting unique, evolving textures and soundscapes. Whether you’re a musician, producer or sound designer, the Cobalt8X provides the tools to explore uncharted sonic territory.

Oscillator Innovation With 34 Unique Algorithms

At the heart of the Cobalt8X lies a groundbreaking oscillator engine that sets it apart from traditional virtual analog synthesizers. Two independent oscillator groups with up to 4 oscillators each generate rich, analog-style waveforms. But the real magic happens with Modal’s 34 unique waveform algorithms like sync, ring modulation and waveform morphing. Each algorithm offers a simple pair of controls tailored to its specific character, empowering you to sculpt truly distinctive tones.

Vintage and Modern Filter Textures

The Cobalt8X’s oscillator engine is complemented by a newly developed 4-pole ladder filter that can be morphed between various modes. Dial in biting resonance reminiscent of classic synths or explore more modern, pristine textures. Combined with the synth’s deep modulation capabilities, the morphable filter opens up vast creative potential for dynamic, expressive sound shaping in real-time or via the onboard step sequencer.

Massive Polyphony and MPE Expressiveness

With eight true polyphonic voices, the Cobalt8X invites you to lay out lush chord progressions, evolving pads and stacked layers. Need even more power? A monophonic patch with all 64 oscillators engaged can produce thunderous bass and lead tones that will shake rooms. The premium Fatar 61-note full-size keyboard provides a natural playing feel, while MPE support unlocks nuanced expression through poly-aftertouch and multidimensional articulation.
