COBALT8M
SYNTHÉTISEUR VIRTUEL-ANALOGIQUE ÉTENDU À 8 VOIX
S’appuyant sur la tradition des sons de synthétiseurs de style analogique, chauds et percutants, conçus par les synthétiseurs légendaires du passé, COBALT8M débloque tout le potentiel créatif des formes d’onde analogiques. Cet instrument puissant et inspirant réinvente l’esthétique des sons analogiques et invite les musiciens, les producteurs et les concepteurs sonores à explorer une nouvelle ère de textures de synthétiseurs analogiques virtuels, bien au-delà des limites de ses ancêtres analogiques.
En plus du moteur d’oscillateur innovant de COBALT8M, nous avons ajouté un arsenal massif de filtres morphables et statiques inspirants. Combiné aux options de modulation inégalées de Modal, à un séquenceur temps réel / pas à pas inspirant, à l’arpégiateur énergisant, au MPE, aux effets de qualité studio et à l’intégration de MODALapp, COBALT8M est le synthé parfait pour tous ceux qui veulent un instrument de musique électronique polyvalent pour jouer des sons de synthé vintage et qui sont désireux d’entrer dans de nouvelles dimensions sonores.
Huit véritables voix polyphoniques incitent les joueurs à pondre de larges accords de cordes ou de riches pad synthétiques, tandis qu’un patch monophonique de basse ou de lead, joué avec 64 oscillateurs, peut faire trembler les murs de tous les stades. Et avec les fonctions de formation du son d’avant-garde, chaque amateur de synthé peut affiner sa performance avec des sons qu’aucun autre synthétiseur n’est capable de générer.
Jouez de riches sons de style analogique grâce à la synthèse analogique virtuelle étendue de la COBALT8M, qui associe une technologie traditionnelle à des fonctions de synthèse modernes.
Créez vos propres sons en exploitant la puissance de l'architecture unique de formes d'onde de la COBALT8M, avec 40 algorithmes complexes et sophistiqués, et la section filtre inéluctable de Modal.
Portez vos performances à un niveau supérieur grâce à la prise en charge des MPE, au séquenceur temps réel/pas intégré de 512 notes, à l'arpégiateur programmable de 32 pas et aux puissantes voies d'animation.
Utilisez les supports de rack inclus pour monter le COBALT8M dans un rack 19" ou utilisez le synthétiseur sur le bureau de votre producteur grâce à son design de table élégant.
Intégrez la COBALT8M dans votre production et vos performances en direct grâce aux connexions MIDI de taille normale et aux entrées et sorties de synchronisation de 3,5 mm.
Accédez à toutes les fonctions du synthétiseur et mettez à jour le COBALT8M via la MODALapp gratuite, disponible sur macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android et AU/VST3.

Improvements:
- Updated the Note > Cutoff behaviour when using the Relative and Bipolar Filter Cutoff Scaling modes so that it tracks portamento / glide and pitch bend
