MODAL ELECTRONICS - COBALT 8

Virtual - analog styled, with 64 oscillator (up to eight per voice), morphable filter (four - pole), three dedicated envelopes (amp, filter, modulation), modulation - matrix (twelve sources, fiftyfive destinations), realtime - and step - sequencer, animation - lanes (four of them), arpeggiator, three LFO (audio - rate) and three streo - effects (configurable).

That's the Cobalt 8. It has eight voices, like the name is saying and it's supporting polyphonic MIDI - expression (MPE).

It's class - compilant (USB), has regular (DIN) MIDI - connections (in, out), analog - clock sync (in, out), audio - in and pedal - connections and, like all instruments by Modal Electronics, the Cobalt 8 can be programmed with the Modal - app.

Specs:
°True 8 - voice polyphonic
°Supports MPE - compatible MIDI - controllers, allowing you to apply polyphonic control and expression to individual notes.
°64 high - resolution virtual - analogue oscillators, up to 8 per voice.
°Two independent and self - contained oscillator groups with sine, pulse, triangle, sawtooth waveforms, 34 different algorithms including: complex analogue synthesis techniques, built - in crossmodulation (sync, RM, and many more), PWM, smooth morphing between VA - waves, bit crushing, filtered noise.
°Extended oscillator drift.
°4 - pole morphable ladder - filter, with resonance and four switchable configurations.
°Resonance and balanced filter - modes.
°Three dedicated envelope - generators for amp, mod and filter that can be accessed independently or all three simultaneously including negative (reverse) versions for mod - and filter - envelopes.
°Three audio - rate LFOs with tempo - sync (two poly, one global) with seven different shapes.
°Eight assignable modulation - slots and four additional fixed modulation - routings for common assignments, with 12 modulation sources and 55 modulation destinations.
°Polyphonic real - time sequencer, with 512 notes and four recordable / editable parameter animations (delay FX, LFO’s, sequencer and arpeggiator can be, either, clocked internally or externally).
°Polyphonic step - sequencer with 64 steps, 8 notes per step, 4 lanes of parameter - lock style animation, step - input mode, multiple playback - modes including gate modes and rest - function.
°Built-in sophisticated programmable arpeggiator of 32 steps with rest - capability with up to 2048 steps, before repeating.
°Three 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.
°500 patch - memories, all fully editable and ships with 300 factory - programs.
°100 sequencer - presets that can be linked to any patch, for quickly loading arrangements.
°100 FX presets.
°8 quick - recall slots, accessible from the panel, for quickly loading your favourite patches.
°Premium Fatar 37 - key keyboard with velocity and channel - aftertouch
°29 endless encoders, 24 buttons.
°4 - axis joystick, that can be assigned to a huge range of modulation destinations and virtually ‘locked’, when desired.
°Multiple keyboard - modes, mono, poly, unison 2, unison 4, unison 8, stack 2 and stack 4.
°Glide / portamento, with both legato and staccato modes.
°Chord - invert control, to easily create chord - inversions and variations.

NORAND - MONO

The Mono is, you guess it, a monophonic synthesizer, with two oscillator (continuously variable waveform), and ADSR - envelope, three - pole filter (multi - mode), an sequencer and interesting modulation - capabilities (x - envelopes, x - modulation).

The x - envelopes and the x - modulation, are available for every parameter. X - envelope is a AD - envelope and the x - mod is a frequency - generator, which can be running in three different modes (LFO, synced LFO, audio - rate).

The Mono can perform frequency - modulation and oscillator - sync.

You can use a key - follow function, to control the filter and the filter can be, also, modulated by the main - envelope (ADSR) and continuously fade from band - to low - to high - pass.

The sequencer has up to 64 steps and is allowing, to program, microshift, ratchet and probability for every step. There is accent, slide and swing. The randomizer can used for parameter or sequences. And "..each step can hold up to 48 parameter offsets..". Also, parts of a pattern can be looped temporarily.

You have MIDI (in, out, thru), USB, CV and gate (out), analog - clock input (sync, reset) and an accent - output.

Oh, and the Mono is an analog synthesizer.

Specs:
°Analog oscillator.
°Continuously variable waveform.
°Thru - zero frequency - modulation.
°Hard - sync.
°Filter - overdrive.
°3 - pole multi - mode filter.
°Continuously variable filter - color.
°Main ADSR - envelope.
°Dedicated AD - envelopes (attack - decay segment from 10us to 20s).
°Dedicated modulator (4 waveforms: free / synced / audio - rate).
°Up to 64 step, per pattern.
°Individual length - / scale - / beat - division, per pattern.
°Individual microshift / ratchet / probability, per step.
°Per step parameter automation (offsets).
°Swing / slide / accent.
°Copy / paste anything.
°Undo / redo anything with 1024 events history.
°Mod - note mode.
°Fast, clock independent project load - / save - function.
°Quandtized note - randomizer.
°Ranged parameter - automation randomizer.
°Step - randomizer.
°Mod note - randomizer.
°Microshift - / probability - / ratchet - randomizer.
°32 projects.
°64 patterns, with patch - memory per project.
°3200 parameter - automation per pattern.
°40 mod - note per project.
°transilluminated potentiometer.
°illuminated silent mechanical switch.
°MIDI -in / - out / - thru.
°48kHz internal CV D / A converter.
°Flash - EEPROM upgradable OS.
°MIDI class - compliant USB - B port.

The price is €890, but if pre - order is open, the first units wil be available for €666.
