BEYOND ANALOGUEBuilding on the tradition of warm and punchy analogue-style synth sounds, conceived by legendary synthezisers from the  past, COBALT8M unlocks the full  creative  potential of analogue waveforms. This powerful, inspiring instrument reinvents the aesthetics of analogue sounds andinvites musicians, producers and sound designers to explore a new era of virtual-analogue synthesizer textures, far beyond the limits of its analogue forefathers.On top of the innovative oscillator engine of COBALT8M, a new morphable 4-Pole Ladder Filter was added. Combined with  Modal’s unparalleled  modulation options,  an  inspiring  real-time / step sequencer, the energizing arpeggiator, MPE,  studio-quality effects  and  MODALapp  integration, COBALT8M is the perfect synth for everyone who wants a versatile electronic music instrument to play vintage synthsounds and is eager to enter new sound dimensions.Eight true polyphonic voices, housed in a sleek desktop and rack-mountable enclosure, tempt players to lay out wide string or rich synthpad chords, while a monophonic bass or lead patch, played with 64 oscillators can shake the walls of every stadium. And with the avant-garde sound forming features, every synth enthusiast can refine his performance with sounds that no other synthesiseris able to generate.Two independent oscillator groups with up to 4 oscillators each generate not only powerful virtual-analogue goodness, but like no other synthesizers before, 34 unique complex algorithms like Sync, Ring Modulation, Waveform Morphing, and many more are available to increase the creative options for new-generation synth sounds. Each Algorithm has a simple-to-use pair of controls selected to suit the particular algorithm or character, providing musicians the power of traditionally complex oscillator modulations or processes spontaneously.COBALT8M’s newly designed, self-oscillating 4-Pole Morphable Ladder Filter with Resonance injects more warmth and bite. Switch between the four different filter modes, get creative with the Notch filter and form unusual synth textures with the Phasor. Two different characteristics allow to instil a more subtle behaviour or process the sound with sheer raw power.Three flexible  audio-rate  (2 x  polyphonic)  LFOs  can  be  routed  to  a massive amount of destinations using the modulation  matrix  and  sync  to  internal  or  external  tempo.  Three  dedicated  envelopes  for  the  filter, amp and modulation allow excessive control over dynamics and expression. Switchable envelope types provide greater options to tailor the envelopes for specific sound purposes. COBALT8M's sophisticated 12-slot modulation matrix supports easy assignments of complex modulation routes to keep the sound evolving. Four common modulation routings are pre-set here to free up space for more exciting ideas
