8-Voice Extended Virtual-Analogue SynthesizerBEYOND ANALOGUEBuilding on the tradition of warm and punchy analogue-style synth sounds, conceived by legendary synthesizers from the past, COBALT8X unlocks the full creative  potential of analogue waveforms. This  powerful, inspiring instrument reinventsthe aesthetics of analogue sounds and invites 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 COBALT8X, 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, the Premium FATAR 61-note keyboard, MPE, studio-quality effects and MODALapp integration, COBALT8X is the perfect synth for everyone who wants a versatile electronic music instrument to play vintage synth sounds and is eager to enter new sound dimensions. Eight true polyphonic voices tempt players to lay out wide string or rich synth pad 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 synthesizeris able to generate. Two independent oscillator groups with up to 4 oscillators each generate not only powerful virtual-analogue goodness, but like no other synthesizer 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.COBALT8X’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. COBALT8Xs 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.The integrated 512-note Realtime / Step Sequencer with four powerful Animation Lanes invites to compose massive and  complex melodic  patterns.  The polyphonic 64-note step sequencer mode enables easy  step input  for  note  and animation values
