Modal Electronics presents the modular version of the Cobalt 8.

COBALT 8M is an 8-voice virtual analog synthesizer in rack format, which accurately emulates legendary analog synthesizers while offering incredibly complex sound creation and signal processing possibilities. Following the design and build quality of its predecessor, the ARGON8, the COBALT8M is undoubtedly a new standard in the analog modeling synthesizer market.

All the power of analog with the flexibility of digital.

The COBALT8 is a virtual analog synthesizer with a different aesthetic that emulates the warm sounds of synthesizers from the past. This digital technology allows musicians to fully develop their creativity, going beyond the limits of vintage analog synthesizers to explore new sonic textures.

Endless Possibilities

Thanks to its digital emulation technology, the COBALT8 features a series of impressive features that are difficult to imagine in a single analog synthesizer. The list is extensive: 8 truly polyphonic voices, 64 high-resolution oscillators, two independent variable waveform oscillator groups, a 4-pole variable slope filter offering 4 switchable configurations, 3 independent envelope generators, a real-time sequencer, and a 32-step arpeggiator, three stereo effects engines, and numerous memory locations for storing presets and patches.

A compact workflow interface, ideal for your rack.

The COBALT8M is perfect for placing in a rack or studio shelf and connecting to an external keyboard. The interface includes 25 endless encoders and 9 buttons, as well as a 4-axis joystick to which a large number of modulations can be assigned. The USB connection offers the ability to view the numerous filter, LFO, or keyboard envelope parameters in real time with impressive clarity.
