Modal ARGON8M (b-stock)

(Kasse åben)

Modal Electronics har præsenteret en rackudgave af ARGON8 synthen med samme revolutionerende wavetable synth engine, som har arvet en stor del af lyden og opbygningen fra flagskibet Modal 02 – en 40.000 kr wavetable supersynth lanceret i 2014.

ARGON 8M er lydmæssigt identisk med ARGON8X og rack-udgaven ARGON8 med 8 stemmer ægte polyfonisk fleksibilitet, dvs 8 uafhængige signalveje med oscillatorer, filtre, envelopes og modulation.

Den tilhørende gratis MODALapp editor fås til Mac, Windows, iOS, Android og som plug-in til VST og AU.

ARGON8M er designet som et kompakt desktop modul, men kan også monteres i 19″ rack med de medfølgende beslag.

• True 8 voice polyphonic
• 120 carefully crafted wavetables split into 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform
sets, covering virtual analogue classics through to cutting edge EDM and
many from the original Modal 002 as well as a whole range of mathematically
generated tables. Additional PWM bank and 3 noise/modulation banks
accessible on Oscillator 2
• 32 static wavetable modifiers including, de-rez, wave folders, wave shapers,
phase shapers and rectify that can be applied to the 120 wavetables to give a
mind-boggling array of permutations and new waveshapes.
• 32 high resolution wavetable oscillators, 4 per voice
• 8 types of oscillator modifier including: Phase Mod (FM), Ring Mod, Amp Mod,
Hard Sync and Windowed Sync
• Voice Drift and Width controls that help to create massive stereo
soundscapes
• Multiple keyboard modes, Mono, Poly, Unison 2, unison 4, unison 8, Stack 2
and Stack 4
• Inbuilt sophisticated programmable arpeggiator of 32 steps with rest capability
with up to 2048 steps before repeating
• Glide/Portamento with both legato and staccato modes
• 4 Filter types. All filters types are 2 pole state-variable filters, the ‘Standard’
filters are based on the resonant filter found in other Modal products
(SKULPTsynthesiser, CRAFTsynth2.0). The ‘Classic’ types have a more
rounded character and a softer resonance response.
• 8 assignable modulation slots
• 4 additional fixed modulation routings for common assignments
• 11 modulation sources
• 52 modulation destinations
• 4-axis joystick that can be assigned to a huge range of modulation
destinations and virtually ‘locked’ when desired
• 3 dedicated envelope generators for AMP, MOD and FILTER that can be
accessed independently or all three simultaneously including negative
(inverse) versions
• 2 Audio rate LFO’s with tempo sync (one poly, one global). Polyphonic LFO
can sync to frequency divisions
• Waveshaping distortion
• 3 incredibly powerful independent and user configurable stereo FX engines
for Chorus, Phaser, Flanger (Pos), Flanger (Neg), Tremolo, LoFi, Rotary,
Stereo Delay, Ping-Pong Delay, X-Over Delay and Reverb that can be
arranged in any order
• 32-step programmable arpeggiator
• Real time sequencer with 512 notes with input quantise and four recordable /
editable parameter animations (Delay FX, LFO’s, sequencer and arpeggiator
can be either clocked internally or externally)
• 500 patch memories, all fully editable and ships with 300 factory programs
• 200 user patch spaces. Patch upload and download through the free
MODALapp
• 100 sequencer presets that can be linked to any patch for quickly loading
arrangements
• 100 FX presets
• Quick Recalls accessible from the panel for quickly loading your favourite
patches. 8 slots on keyboard variants, and 4 on ARGON8M
• Analogue clock sync in and out (configured to the KORG / Teenage
Engineering specification)
• MIDI DIN in and out
• Full size quarter inch jacks for stereo audio outs, headphones and external
control such as sustain and expression
• 3.5 mm stereo input with ability to route incoming audio through the FX
• FATAR TP/9S Full size keys with both velocity and aftertouch, 37 on the
ARGON8 and 61 on the ARGON8X
• 1.54 inch large OLED display – that provides instant visual feedback to the
user at all times of playing/editing
• Class compliant MIDI provided over USB connection to host computer or
tablet
• Optional MODALapp software editor available for macOS, Windows, iOS and
Android
• MODALapp can also be run within your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), with
VST3 and AU versions available
• Power: DC-9.0V – 1.5A centre-positive
• Road ready Steel and Aluminium chassis
