"At Superbooth Berlin 2026, we had the chance to get hands-on with one of the most talked-about new instruments of the show: the Modal Electronics ELEMENT One. Modal Electronics — the British synthesizer manufacturer behind acclaimed instruments like the Cobalt8 and Argon8 — returns to the spotlight with a bold new concept that pushes the boundaries of what a modern synthesizer can be.

The ELEMENT One is a brand-new synthesizer platform developed by Modal Electronics, combining advanced wavetable and modal synthesis engines in a sleek, performance-ready hardware format. Designed for both studio producers and live performers, it features a highly expressive interface, deep modulation architecture, and a sound engine capable of producing everything from lush, evolving pads to sharp, cutting leads and complex textural soundscapes.

At Superbooth 2026, we spoke directly with the Modal Electronics team on the show floor, exploring the instrument's key features, its synthesis philosophy, and what makes the ELEMENT One stand apart in an increasingly competitive synthesizer market. We dive into the hands-on controls, the filter section, the effects engine, and the overall build quality that Modal is known for.

Whether you are a synthesizer enthusiast, a professional sound designer, or simply passionate about the future of electronic music hardware, this is essential viewing from one of Europe's most important music technology events.
