Modal electronics Cobalt 8
The COBALT8 is a virtual analog 8-voice synthesizer that faithfully simulates the powerful sounds of the analog synthesizers that have made history, while offering incredibly advanced signal creation and processing capabilities. The COBALT8 is based on the lines and manufacturing quality of the older ARGON8 wavetable sound, and is certainly a new standard in the analog modeling synthesizer market.
