Modal Electronics Cobalt 8M Synthesizer Blue
Cobalt 8M is a compact desktop and 19-inch rack-mountable extended virtual-analogue synthesizer module offering 8 voices of polyphony in a chassis measuring 384 × 127 × 81 mm and weighing just 2.1 kg. Its oscillator engine generates up to 64 high-resolution virtual-analogue oscillators derived from sine, pulse, triangle and sawtooth waveforms, shaped by 31 resonant morphable and static filter types for warm, punchy analogue-style sounds.
Deep Modulation Matrix
Three dedicated envelope generators (AMP, MOD and FILTER), three audio-rate LFOs with tempo sync and eight assignable modulation slots with 12 sources and 55 destinations provide exceptional creative flexibility. Four additional fixed modulation routings further extend the expressive potential of each patch.
Effects and Sequencing
A three-slot FX engine with 26 effect algorithms covers Drive, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo, LoFi, Rotary, Stereo Delay, Ping-Pong Delay, X-Over Delay and Reverb. The built-in 512-note sequencer and 32-step arpeggiator support live performance alongside MPE-compatible controllers. Up to 500 patch slots store custom sounds.
Connectivity
Cobalt 8M connects via USB, MIDI In/Out, dual 1/4" TS line outputs, a headphone output, a 1/8" TRS stereo audio input and built-in sustain and expression pedal inputs. Power is supplied via DC 9.0 V – 1.5 A centre-positive adaptor.
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.
