Modal ARGON8 vs COBALT8 vs CARBON8: What's Actually Different Between the Three Synth Engines?
video upload by Modal Electronics
"ARGON8, COBALT8, CARBON8 — the same 8-voice chassis, the same FATAR keybed, the same modulation framework. But when you actually open up the engines, they take three completely different sonic paths.
This video takes a deep dive into the core engine differences between the three synthesizers:
🔹 ARGON8 — Wavetable synthesis. 32 wavetable oscillators, 180 wavetables, 32 waveform modifiers. Suited to constantly evolving textures.
🔹 COBALT8 — Extended virtual analogue. 64 VA oscillators, 40 algorithms. Chasing classic analogue warmth, but with digital flexibility.
🔹 CARBON8 — XCore experimental digital engine. 56 digital cores ×2, 18 algorithms + 38 wavetables. Generating new waveforms rather than selecting waveforms.
