Argon8X

Uppbyggd kring dess revolutionerande nya wavetable-syntes, är Argon8 ett barn till den hyllade Modal 002. Den sistnämnda har sedan introduktionen blivit en måttstock för wavetablesyntar och är fortfarande uppskattad av artister och kompositörer världen över. Argon8 är en synt som erbjuder många av funktionerna och möjligheterna från 002 i ett litet och prisvärt format.

Polyphony:

• True 8-voice polyphonic

MPE:

• Supports MPE-compatible MIDI controllers, allowing you to apply polyphonic control and expression to individual notes
  Oscillators
• 32 high-resolution wavetable oscillators, 4 per voice
• 120 carefully crafted wavetables split into 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets Additional PWM bank and 3 noise/modulation banks accessible on Oscillator 2
• 32 static wavetable modifiers including, de-rez, wave folders, waveshapers, phase shapers and rectify can be applied to the 120 wavetables to give a mind-boggling array of permutations and new waveshapes.
• 8 types of oscillator modifier including Phase Mod (FM), Ring Mod, Amp Mod,
• Hard Sync and Windowed Sync
• Voice Drift and Width controls help to create massive stereo soundscapes

Filter:

• 2-pole state variable filters, 4 Filter types – ‘Standard’ filters are based on the resonant filter found in other Modal synthesisers and ‘Classic’ with a more rounded character and a softer resonance response.

Modulation:

• 3 dedicated envelope generators for AMP, MOD and FILTER that can be accessed independently or all three simultaneously including negative (reverse) versions and multiple envelope curve options

• 8 assignable modulation slots and 4 additional fixed modulation routings for common assignments with 11 modulation sources and 52 modulation destinations

Sequencer and Arpeggiator:

• 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)

• 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

FX:

• Waveshaping distortion
• 3 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
