Product Description
- Unlock the true power of the Argon8 &ndash
- firmware v3 has arrived! Welcome to the future. Building on the success of the now iconic Argon8 wavetable synthesizer Modal have been busy crafting the newest update providing a wide variety of exciting new features upgrades and enhancements. One of the most prominent new features is the free-running oscillator and vintage controls. Emulating the behaviour of classic synthesizers Argon8&rsquo
- s free-running oscillators can be used for a variety of applications from creating long drone-style sounds to creating atmospheric melodies. The new &lsquo
- Vintage&rsquo
- parameter introduces variation between the voices emulating the effect of aging components to give them a truly analog sound and feel. The sound shaping capabilities have also been expanded with the introduction of four new filter types: Ladder Ladder Hybrid Notch Ladder Phase and Sallen-Key. There are also 15 new effects including a compressor phaser chorus three-band EQ and a variety of new reverb algorithms. If that wasn&rsquo
- t enough the factory preset bank has been heavily updated allowing you to explore all the new features and upgrades included within the firmware v3 update. Wavetable synthesizer The 120 wavetables onboard the Argon 8M provide a huge range of audio potential. Split into 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets the wavetables cover a range of sounds from virtual analog classics to cutting edge EDM. These include many of the sounds available with the original Modal 002 as well as a whole range of mathematically generated tables. Static wavetable modifiers 32 static wavetable modifiers can be applied to the 120 wavetables to give a huge array of permutations and waveshapes. These include de-rez wave folders wave shapers phase shapers and rectify. As well as this 32 high-resolution wavetable oscillators four per voice ensure you&rsquo
- ll never run out of sound processing options. These oscillators can then be modulated using one of eight onboard modifiers including Phase Mod (FM) Ring Mod Amp Mod Hard Sync and Windowed Sync. State-variable filters The Argon 8M features four 2-pole state-variable filters. The &lsquo
- Standard&rsquo
- filters are based on the resonant filter found across various Modal products ((SKULPTsynthesiser CRAFTsynth2.0). The &lsquo
- Classic&rsquo
- type filters have a more rounded character and softer resonance response. Huge array of effects The Argon 8M features three powerful independent and user-configurable stereo FX engines. These can be utilised for chorus phaser flanger (pos) flanger (neg) Tremolo lo-fi rotary stereo delay ping-pong delay X-over delay and reverb that can be arranged in any order. A 32-step programmable arpeggiator also allows for rhythmic synth sounds. The Argon 8M contains 100 FX and sequencer presets that can be quickly accessed to help streamline your creative workflow. The Argon 8M features four dedicated quick recall slots providing accessibility to your favourite settings. A range of connectivity options A huge range of connectivity options ensure that the Argon 8M seamlessly integrates into your current studio setup. Quarter inch jacks are used for stereo audio outputs headphones and to provide access for external control of the module. A 3.5mm stereo input has the ability to route incoming audio through the FX. The Argon 8M can also be synced with an external analog clock for control over delay LFO&rsquo
