Musicians who want to create unique sounds and experiment endlessly will get nothing but joy from the Modal Electronics ARGON8. This wavetable synthesizer offers 8-part polyphony and contains a high-quality FATAR TP9 keyboard with 37 full-size, touch-sensitive keys with aftertouch. You get access to no fewer than 120 wave tables, divided into five sets over 24 benches, allowing you to opt for traditional virtual analogue sounds or modern EDM sounds. Many of the models are taken directly from the Modal Electronics 002, so you know you you're going to get excellent sound quality. Thanks to a subtly designed steel and aluminum housing, this compact synth will stylishly lift the look of your home studio.
The ARGON8: A musical trip
The addition of a 1.54 inch OLED display makes the Modal Electronics ARGON8 effortless to navigate. With 32 hi-res wave table oscillators (4 per voice) and eight types of modifiers, you get a huge range of possible sounds under your command. You can use the assignable joystick to add extra expression to your game and three envelope generators (AMP, MOD and FILTER) that you can use completely independently or simultaneously, will only push it further. With the three independent stereo effect engines you can also add intensely powerful effects such as delay, reverb, flanger, phaser and chorus.
Sequencer and arpeggiator
Other practical additions to the ARGON 8 are the built-in sequencer and arpeggiator. With the 512 step real time sequencer you can spit out impressive soundscapes in little time. The programmable 32 step arpeggiator can generate up to 2048 steps before a repeat occurs and with 300 factory presets, even less experienced synthesizer aficionados can get started immediately. 200 user slots are available to store your own creations and a nice bonus is that you can easily download new patches using the free MODALapp for Mac, PC, iOS and Android.

Deze unit voelt aan als een tank en persoonlijk vind ik hem erg mooi. En als ik af mag gaan op de reviews dan zit het met de mogelijkheden en de output ook wel goed. Maar bij de eerste bediening van een van de drukknopjes kreeg ik een enorm "my first synthesizer" gevoel.. Onbegrijpelijk dat ze zulke knullige plastic knopjes met een goedkoop klik-geluid in deze prachtige unit hebben geplaatst.

Het fatar keyboard voelt fantastisch en je voelt aan alles dat de synth goed gebouwd is
Alles vanaf het front panel te bedienen en je zal al snel op een intuatieve manier op mooie patches komen.
Encoders voelen tov van de rest van de Synth wat goedkoop aan Maar niet dusdanig storend of verontrustend dat het aan het toestel afdoet
Een echte aanrader!

In 1 woord; Kwaliteit
In deze prijsklasse een uitblinker, gebouwd als een tank (5,6Kg !) een geweldig keyboard, een begrijpelijke lay-out, en ook nog een werkelijk fantastische geluidskwaliteit. Na wat omzwervingen langs een aantal Japanse plastic synthesizertjes op deze Brit gestuit en wat een verschil. Na de firmware update tot nog veel meer in staat. Heeft een sublieme Sequencer en een 'programmeerbare' Arp. Enige opmerking zijn de wat wiebelige knoppen, contrast met de degelijke bouw, maar dit vergeet je al snel als je ermee aan de slag gaat, de encoders werken perfect. Kortom, een makkelijk te bedienen en zeer flexibele (super) synth.
