WIN Modal ARGON8X & COBALT8M Synths! Warning messageSubmissions for this form are closed. Fancy winning one of these British-designed polysynths from Modal Electronics, worth £1247$1468. Enter today! Bristol-based synth makers Modal Electronics have quite a repertoire, having created all sorts of instruments from dinky DIY kit boxes to powerhouse analogue polysynths. Their two newest series both harness the power of digital, but in very different ways. The ARGON8X is the company’s flagship wavetable synthesizer, offering eight voices of polyphony in a 61‑note keyboard format. Extensive hands-on control is catered for by its generous supply of encoders, while its aftertouch‑sensitive keyboard and sprung joystick (which can control pitch bend and up to two additional modulation destinations) allow for expressive performances.
