Modal electronics Cobalt 8M
The Cobalt 8M is a compact synthesizer in desktop format.
The COBALT8M is a compact desktop-sized 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 COBALT8M is a virtual analog synthesizer that emulates the warm and powerful sounds of the synthesizers of the past, with its distinctive aesthetic.
The COBALT8M offers a number of impressive features, hardly imaginable on a single analog synthesizer.
8 truly polyphonic voices, 64 high-resolution oscillators, two independent variable shape oscillator groups, a morphable 4-pole ladder filter offering 4 switchable configurations, 3 independent envelope generators, a real-time sequencer and 32-step arpeggiator, three stereo effect engines and numerous memory locations for recording presets and patches. All this at a very reasonable price!
