MODAL ARGON8

Kuvaus

Modal Argon8 – 8-ääninen polyfoninen Wavetable-syntetisaattori, jossa on 32 oskillaattoria (neljää ääntä kohti), 2-osainen morfisointiresonanssisuodin (alipäästö, kaistanpäästö, ylipäästö)

Tehokas modulaatio 11 lähteellä ja 52 kohteella. Mukana 4-akselinen joystick, joka voidaan määrittää useille modulointikohteille. 3 envelopea, vahvistinta, suodinta ja modulaatiota varten. 32-vaiheinen arpeggiaattori, 512-vaiheinen sekvensseri, sisäänrakennetut efektit, 37 täysikokoista Fatar-kosketinta kosketusherkkyydellä ja aftertouchilla. Runko terästä ja alumiinia. Mukana editori, joka soveltuu Mac, Win, iOS ja Android -alustoille, sekä paljon muuta.

Specifications:

• 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
• 180 carefully crafted wavetables split into 36 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 180 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 that help to create massive stereo soundscapes
• Vintage Parameter and Oscillator Free Run to emulate the behaviours of vintage analogue synths

Filter:

• Eight Filter types
• Two ‘Standard’ filters are 2-pole state variable filters, based on the resonant filter found in other Modal synthesisers, morphing through: LP > BP > HP or LP > Notch > HP
• Two ‘Classic’ 2-Pole state variable with a more rounded character and a softer resonance response, morphing through: LP > BP > HP
• ‘Ladder’ – 4 pole resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP > BP > HP
• ‘Ladder Hybrid’ – 1 pole resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP + Notch > Notch > HP + Notch
• ‘Ladder Phaser’ – Resonant ladder filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: Notch > Phaser
• ‘Sallen-Key’ – 2 pole resonant Sallen-Key Filter with pre-filter drive, morphing through: LP > BP

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
• 2 Audio rate LFO’s with tempo sync (one poly, one global). Polyphonic LFO can sync to frequency divisions
• 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)
• Polyphonic Step Sequencer with 64 steps, 8 notes per step, 4 lanes of 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, multiple Arpeggiator direction modes.

FX:

• Waveshaping distortion
• Three incredibly powerful independent and user-configurable stereo FX engines for 26 Effects algorithms, incl. Drive, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Tremolo, LoFi, Rotary, Stereo Delay, Ping-Pong Delay, X-Over Delay and Reverb.

User Memory:

• 500 patch memories, all fully editable and ships with 300 factory programs
• 100 sequencer presets that can be linked to any patch for quickly loading arrangements
• 100 FX presets
• 8 Quick Recall slots accessible from the panel for quickly loading your favourite patches

Controls and Performance:

• Premium FATAR 37-key Keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch
• 29 endless encoders, 24 buttons
• 4-axis joystick that can be assigned to a huge range of modulation destinations and virtually ‘locked’ when desired
• Multiple keyboard modes, Mono, Poly, Unison 2, unison 4, unison 8, Stack 2 and Stack 4
• Glide/Portamento with both legato and staccato modes
• Chord Invert control to easily create chord inversions and variations

Inputs and Outputs:
