Modal Electronics Carbon8 Experimental

Modal Carbon8

With the CARBON8, MODAL Electronics presents an 8-voice digital synthesizer that redefines creative sound adventures. Equipped with a state-of-the-art sound engine and two oscillators with 56 digital core waveforms each, the CARBON8 opens up a wide range of unique algorithms and wavetables for sonic diversity. The 37 velocity-sensitive keys with aftertouch (Fatar) enable an expressive performance. The CARBON8 supports MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) with a matching controller to add even more nuance to your playing style. A razor-sharp OLED display shows the current settings of the controls and their sonic effects at all times. A total of 34 different filter types are available, including modern and vintage filters that shape the sound precisely and give it the necessary analog warmth. The CARBON8 also scores with 3 LFOs, which provide over 15 different waveforms and expand the sound design.
The powerful functions of the CARBON8 include an integrated 512-note polyphonic sequencer and a flexible arpeggiator, which make it possible to creatively animate sounds and refine them with up to 26 high-quality effects simultaneously. All functions of the synthesizer can be conveniently edited and managed on screen using the free MODALapp.
