Modal Electronics Carbon 8M Synthesizer Grey
Carbon 8M is a desktop/rack-mountable 8-voice experimental synthesizer module that brings the full power of the Carbon 8 engine into a compact, keyboardless form factor. Two independent high-resolution digital oscillators each deliver 56 complex Digital Core waveforms across 18 digital algorithms and 38 wavetables, paired with 34 resonant filter types. Three LFOs, three envelope generators and 12 modulation slots provide extensive sound sculpting depth in a chassis measuring just 384 × 81 × 127 mm and weighing 2.1 kg.
Advanced Synthesis Engine
The same innovative oscillator and filter architecture found in the Carbon 8 keyboard instruments is fully present in Carbon 8M, making it an ideal studio centrepiece or modular companion. All 500 patch slots and the 3-slot FX engine with effects including Drive, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Stereo Delay and Reverb are available.
Sequencer and Performance
A 512-note real-time/step sequencer and a 32-step programmable arpeggiator are built in, along with full MPE support for use with expressive external controllers. MODALapp integration enables software-based sound design, patch backup and firmware management from any connected device.
Connectivity
Carbon 8M provides USB, MIDI In/Out, dual mono line outputs, a headphone output and a stereo audio input, powered by a DC 9.0 V – 1.5 A centre-positive supply. Analogue clock sync In and Out ports enable tight integration with modular setups.
Polyphony: 8
The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.
LFO: Yes
An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.
Envelope: Yes
The Envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of the sound. This filter provides greater flexibility in adjusting and customizing sound characteristics, enhancing the overall quality and expressiveness of the performance.
Oscillators: Yes
A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.
Sequencer: Yes
The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.
Arpeggiator: Yes
The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.
Headphone Output: Yes
The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.
