SAUCY SYNTHS Modal CARBON8 Experimental Synthesizer (No Talking)

video upload by SAUCY SYNTHS

"This SAUCY SYNTH is a synthwave and ambient dream. Meet the all-new Carbon8 by Modal Electronics.

This is my 1st video. I don't know what I'm doing. :) If you dig it, please like, comment, and subscribe!

Released in October 2024, against all odds, it looks as though this company has come successfully out of bankruptcy with a new owner - the manufacturer of Modal synths.

Unlike other launches, due to the transition of new ownership and assets, this new beauty comes to you in stealth mode. A soft launch. No synth mafia or shills reviewing this synth just yet. Unlike previous launches, Modal did not send out a lot of units to influencers for review. They should because this synth is unlike any synth I've ever heard or played before.

It truly invites you to experiment with sound design and has you dive into tangents.

This is my 1st 30-minute interaction with the synth. I barely touched the presets. All sounds you hear are 100% carbon8 sounds without any processing, pedals, or effects. I did have a sustain pedal plugged in to latch / hold to free up my hands to twist those sweet knobs."

Print Magazine Modul8 Issue #2 Now Available

You might remember Modul8 from this previous post.

via Issue #2 is now available.

"Modul8 issue two is out now - bigger, better and more in depth.

After being humbly blown away by the support for the premiere issue of Modul8, issue two steps up with more pages, more interviews and more synth devotion.

Go behind the modules with Corry Banks from Eurorack manufacturer Modbap Modular, dive deep into sound therapy with AHRKH, explore modern ballet music with composer Alison Cole and get schooled by Serge scholar Ben Carey.

There's also feature interviews with L.A's best kept secret Voltage Ctrlr,

heartbreak and redemption with Def Jam's Sadiva, Buchla buzz from Beijing's TamiX and the breakthroughs and breakdowns of Aussie breakbeat pioneers Nubreed.

And if all that still wasn't enough we check in with Melbourne theremin maestro Miles Brown, learn about SDEM's latest album, throw it back with the American Gigolo soundtrack and try to figure out why 'INIT' patches are so comforting.

All that, plus everyone's favourite philosopher Todd Barton is back, and this time he's getting saucy with his synths.

And despite our tragic commitment to physical media, we’ve also created a special Spotify playlist featuring music from the artists showcased in issue two.

We’re super proud of this issue, but more importantly we're super stoked to present such a dynamic and diverse range of creators following their own paths
