Modal Electronics Carbon 8 8-Voice Advanced Experimental Synthesizer

The CARBON8 pushes the boundaries of digital synthesis with its groundbreaking Experimental Digital Synthesis engine that's twice as complex as Modal's acclaimed ARGON8 and COBALT8 series. This 8-voice powerhouse combines sophisticated waveform algorithms and wavetables with outstanding filter technology and dynamic LFO capabilities, creating a sonic palette perfectly suited to contemporary music production. The synth's unique architecture features more than 40 complex algorithms working alongside Modal's incredible filter section, giving you the tools to craft your own signature sounds across any genre.

Performance capabilities reach new heights with comprehensive MPE support, while the integrated 512-note Realtime/Step Sequencer and 32-step programmable Arpeggiator provide extensive creative control. Four powerful Animation Lanes allow you to compose intricate melodic patterns, with polyphonic step sequencer mode making note and animation input straightforward. Features like Chord Hold, Inversions, Transpose, and Sustain Latch combine with multiple sequencer trigger modes to generate compelling moving patterns for both live and studio work.

The massive filter section houses 34 different filter types, ranging from vintage filter model recreations to modern Modal adaptations that can carve or boost crucial frequencies in your patches. Many models include drive and morph parameters for spectral manipulation in unique and striking ways. Built around a premium FATAR 37-note keyboard with aftertouch in a road-ready aluminium enclosure, the CARBON8 integrates seamlessly into any setup via full-size MIDI connections and 3.5mm Sync Ins/Outs, with complete control available through the free MODALapp across macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android and AU/VST3 platforms.
