"Just when you thought the ARGON-Series couldn’t get any more feature-packed, Modal Electronics announce Firmware v2.6, empowering users with 12 new Wavetable Banks, 60 new Waveforms and a host of must-have workflow enhancements. Here, we are demonstrating the new sonic powers we injected into the ARGON8 wavetable engine."

And the press release:



– MODAL ELECTRONICS’ ARGON-SERIES V2.6 FIRMWARE UPDATE GUARANTEES TO TURBOCHARGE THE CREATIVE OUTPUT FOR MUSICIANS, PRODUCERS AND PERFORMERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE –

Bristol, UK - 24th February 2022 - Modal Electronics, a leading global synthesiser manufacturer, has just announced an all-new firmware update for their critically-acclaimed feature-packed ARGON-Series synthesisers. Never content with a static approach to product development - and directly responding to the needs of their global user community - Modal Electronics’ ARGON-Series firmware v2.6 adds a raft of new forward-thinking features that guarantee to supercharge user’s creative output like never before.

New in Firmware v2.6
Firmware v2.6 adds 12 new Wavetable Banks containing 60 all-new Waveforms. Now, producers, performers and sound designers can experience immediate access to two independent wave-groups each containing 180 carefully crafted wavetables split into 36 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets; there's even an additional PWM bank and three noise/modulation banks accessible on wave-group 2. In addition, users can now effortlessly link OSC2 tuning to be linked to OSC1 frequency via a handy OSC2 Tune Mode control. Fuse all of this with 32 static wavetable modifiers, including, de-rez, wave folders, waveshapers, phase shapers and rectify, all of which can be applied to the 180 wavetables - not to mention eight types of oscillator modifier - and the sonic possibilities are virtually limitless.
