Modal Electronics Cobalt8X Review

Keys Review takes a look at the Cobalt8X from British brand Modal Electronics. Take a listen to learn what Tom discovered when he headed to the studio to check out this VA synth.
About COBALT8X’s Extended Virtual Analogue Synth Engine
Two independent oscillator groups with up to 4 oscillators each generate not only powerful virtual-analogue goodness, but like no other synthesiser before, 40 unique complex algorithms like Sync, Ring Modulation, Waveform Morphing, and many more are available to increase the creative options for new-generation synth sounds. Each Algorithm has a simple-to-use pair of controls selected to suit the particular algorithm or character, providing musicians the power of traditionally complex oscillator modulations or processes spontaneously.

Literally the best keyboard reviewer on youtube! I saw so many reviews of the Cobalt8x but literally yours was the first that made me feel I need one. Looking forward to seeing more reviews.

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts Michael. We are pleased you found the review helpful. Best wishes, KR.

Glad I came across this channel. Your videos are really well done. Some real PPG vibes coming from this synth imo!

[@jeanlot]

Oh finally someone who plays a synth and not only makes noise ! Good playing good review. I'm thinking to buy this instrument because of sounds and the keybed that seems so good to play

The new firmware update just made this synth exta special.

Very well done!

Awesome sound demo! Really enjoyed this review, I have been looking into the hydrasynth deluxe though, it seems like an upgraded cobalt 8x.

[@ben1210]

Standard synth advice, buy both! Hydra deluxe and cobalt module would be amazing. I've got the hydra desktop, sounds more like the argon to my ears. The cobalt seems better at the standard / classic sounds and the hydra hits those wild wavetable sweet spots and has ridiculously easy modulation workflow. Hydra poly AT and ribbon strip would be useful additions to the cobalt. Great combo, my 8x arrives next week.

@@ben1210 haha appreciate the response! I now have the hydra deluxe and am blown away by it!

[@jriceblue]

Watch your volume. The difference between talking and playing was HUGE. :S

[@WilmarBoer]

Just bought the module version. Partly because of your review. What's is the nice preset you play in the intro?

[@ultrajayme]

this is absolutely not a negative comment when i say this, but goddamn, every single review for almost every single piece of music gear known is brought to us by someone British......never ceases to amaze me.
