Another great use for the audio input - connect a tablet and play along with this demonstration, using headphones to hear everything at once. I’ve had my Cobalt for about 2 years and I love it. I keep coming back to this demo to learn more.
No wonder Modal Electronics synths are so good with such enthusiastic and knowledgeable employees! Great synthesizer and video, inspiring and happy making as usual, thanks guys!
Thanks for sharing. I do like all these videos highlighting both this product and the Argon8. I think that they are useful to appreciate what Modal Electronics is offering. A wildfire took down my house and my music studio. I am rebuilding and need to have a more minimalist set up than before. Both the Cobalt8 and the Argon8 are more capable than my modest modular set up was and far less expensive. What I get is that all the experience of people exploring modular synthesis has developed some very worthy synths that have learned from the modular world. Modal Electronics, as far as I understand, is finding that if you go completely digital that you can emulate a lot of modular boards without worrying about signal to noise ratio and incompatible voltages, and even pack more virtual circuits in less space. In any case, I am planning to put the Argon8 at the center of the studio and attach a Zoom 70CDR to add more effects to the output. I am still evaluating the Cobalt8 which seems to have a different emphasis and seems to emulate the analogue synths of the past very well. Until I get studio #2 up and running I am going to be learning from these videos.
"Going on choo choo" - there's one for the parents out there. haha. I can't tell you how many times I replace real words with toddler words. At any rate, really nice machine here, Modal. I think it sounds great. Can't wait to hear more about it. I love the form factor.
This is true, I am planning on a SLMkIII to control everything when I move so if this comes out in a Cobalt8M in that LOVELY blue, I will buy it day 1. Come on friends!
I’ve been on the fence watching all the new synths videos, both analog and digital. Every time I’m ready to make a purchase, Sonic State or Andertons posts a video and I’m consistently blown away. This video is no exception. So nice to hear from the good gentleman from Modal. I would love to jam with him! Quite and interesting implementation of technology in Cobalt. I agree that slightly out of whack oscillators is what have been missing in modern DSP and FPGA based synths. We are living in bountiful times! For the price point, and straight forward interface, there is nothing else that can pull my money away from Cobalt 8. Now, the 8 or spring for the 8X?
You'll make your best music with the synth you get. Meaning, just buy one, master it. Love it. Think when analog synths were all they had. No sincerely, you had to choose a feature that existed on one or another. Print a feature list of the cheapest virtual analog synth, then choose any analog from the 80's. Now, put an oscilloscope on both of them. I promise the only difference you'll see is that you have many more options to get creative. I also promise the only time you'll find you're better off with an analog, is when you need to make sounds that nobody wants to hear. Watch comparison vids. Screeching and grinds, yes, analog is able to make those flow into one another much better.
@@chitalker I did exactly that. Purchased the 8X 6 months ago and made a few patches first day. It’s a fun synth and a constant source of entertainment. The build quality is great and the sound is fantastic.
The only thing this synth is missing is a complementary musician to go with it. I'm still in the process of unlocking it's potential. Very helpful video!
I haven't been this excited by a VA synth in a very long time. This thing is absolutely brilliant! Any word on when we can expect the release of the Cobalt 8M and 8X? I'm already saving my pennies lol.
Felt the guy waffled on way too much. Basically one sound till 7:50. Jack is always good value and one of the major reasons I watch his channel. My next synth will be Cobalt 8 or Hydrasynth explorer. Making that kind of choice is going to be hard for me.
Philip says......"it is genuine and I have the steel bracelet - but I love this orange one as no one else wears one - and it’s a genuine omega planet ocean strap" :-)
To my ear that first patch goes unpleasantly out of tune. Pitch drift is fine but I think that goes tad too far. Personal opinion, of course. In other ways very fascinating and may yet find its way onto my get-list. Update: with the second patch, it went onto the list. Lovely sound. Update: with discussion of the app, it goes close to top of the list. Update: THAT FILTER!!! [licks screen]
This does sound great in a mostly Analog way. Bu I wish that Modal had implemented something like what Waldorf did with the Iridium, where you can choose whether each oscillator is Wavetable, Waveshape or other (it also has FM, Resonator and Granular). So you can get wavetable sounds like the Argon, shapable analog waves like the Cobalt and mix them as you desire. Admittedly, the Iridium is 2.5x the price of this, but if you've bought the Argon and Cobalt both, than you're already most of the way there.
@@geoffk777 Not really.....Iridium is £2000 - an Argon and a Cobalt is £1158 and thats also with two keyboards so really its more comparable to an Argon8m and a Cobalt8M if one were made and that would be £1000 less.
I'm like #420... Must be a sign! Seriously though for they money this thing blows the OP6 out of the water. Yeah I get it's virt analog vs FM but it's all about the sound and this thing has it...
Can someone please help me with this question? In Jack’s beginners lessons on this channel he teaches you to use your thumb, index finger and middel finger when playing chords. And when I see him play he also plays like that. But when I look up other lessons and look other players they teach you to play chords with your thumb, middlefinger and pinkie. So that you can play suspended chords easier I guess? I’m not questioning his abilities or anything I love his playing and lessons. The thing is I’m learning through youtube and I don’t want to teach myself ‘bad habits’ which may be a problem later on. So I’m wondering if grabbing chords this way is like a ‘hack’ which makes it perhaps easier or that it is better to play it the more ‘traditional way? Also I know that there is no ‘wrong way’ to play anything. Like Mark Knopfler said: ‘I’m a guitar teachers worst nightmare. Thanks and love your videos Jack!
Hey Nick, thanks so much for taking the time to watch the videos and to leave such a thoughtful comment my good man. You're spot on, it's a self taught hack on my part and if I could make "feel" right to me I would go with a more standard fingering like you eluded too. Dan and Mike who have been in playing on the channel recently both have pretty "unorthodox" fingering too and it made me think the that I think I must be drawn to players like that play in such way and generally I prefer there sound to a "classical" one (Gordon Mote is the same check him out!) If you're starting out then go with the one that makes sense to you on a gut level I'd say mate. Next time I get to film a lesson I'll see if I can explain how I navigate the "posher" chords you mentioned with my Cod fingers!! Sending all my best wishes my G
@@jackduxbury1632 Wow I really didn't expect such a great and fast reply thanks man! Seriously I love your videos and lessons. Just started out and at this very moment I'm watching your 4th lesson on 'squib squib' haha, watching it for the 3rd time also, trying to really understand it lesson for lesson and just trying to vibe to the chords and to see where to it leads. Just wanted to say thank you for what you do it is truly awesome, I can only wish to be able to play like you one day! I wish you all the best!
@@nick2844 I really didn't expect anyone to watch and understand my videos mate do it's a real treat I can assure to know that some of my jumbled ramblings are making any sort of sense to anyone! Is there a topic in particular you after a lesson on? If so, hit me back and I'll shout you out do my best next time I'm in to tackle it 💪
@@jackduxbury1632 I think you're making alot of sense to alot of people with your lessons! It's clear, easy to comprehend and fun. My level of playing doesn't alow me to have any suggestions for a lesson 'cause I'm at the very beginning and need to learn everything. But what I would love to learn (and I think alot of people would like) is maybe a ultimate beginner lesson on blues. Maybe like 'thrill is gone' in bm or even 'Drive' by Joe Bonamassa which contain the chords: em am bm. Your lesson: piano lesson for guitar players also helps alot! Reason why I would like to learn this and why I try to learn piano in general is because I play guitar in a 'band' with my dad and some friends at home, we have a small setlist and I wanted to give the songs more depth and 'fullness' (if that is even a word?) by playing piano/keyboard. Anyway sorry for the rambling! Thanks Jack for even reading and replying you're awesome! Have a great weekend. Cheers Nick
One of the best features of my Alesis Ion and Akai MINIAK's are that I can assign different patches and transposes to, be it a set, or even individual keys. (Eg, Akai MINIAK, I would assign four different drum sequences on the lowest c, C#, d, and D# keys, respectfully, as I would have the rest of the keyboard broken into sections that would have layered sequences with different custom patches, and just an octave with the lead for the song that I could play free style. The MINIAK also allowed key lock, so I could press one key, set a sequence with one sound. Press the key next to it, it plays another custom sequence with a different patch, 12 transposes below it's physical placement on the board, making it the same octave as the patch assigned on the keys next to it. Can this synth do that?
Hi, I am new to the synthesizer thing. The only thing I know is playing music. I have models app upgraded. Can you tell me what connections I need to upgrade my newly cobalt 8x ?
Hi guys my cobalt does not display the waveform on the screen,only the patch number ,tried every knob. Can you help me the get that back on screen. Thx
Hi mate I'm looking at buying my first synth in the £500ish price range, which would be the best value / best suited synth for making trippy ambient music out of the Cobalt 8, Korg Minilogue xd, and Arturia Mini Brute 2? Cheers 👍
Assuming you want a keyboard here? If you like synthy sounds then go for something with lots of controls as you'll find it easier to learn and create what you want to hear. This, Deepmind, Miniogue are worth looking at. Go for something polyphonic. If you want more realistic sounds the JDXI might be with a look.
My question is since this synth doesnt have distortion fx is there any compesation to go around this and get that slight how could i say that grittines?
No distortion is the only disappointing thing about the Cobalt, but it has been tabled for Modal to discuss for future implementation. In the meantime, when mine comes on Thursday, I'll be bypassing the onboard FX and using my favourite third party stuff in my DAW, so I can have distortion/saturation first in the chain.
Is there a synth which Jack did not found absolutely mindblowing? No defect ever, no problems, no missing features, EVERY SINGLE ONE is simply amazing... informative content = zero
I will say he doesn't tend to complain much; but that's what I use the more critical reviews four (Sonic Labs, Loopop, Bobeats, Red Means Recording, Tim Shoebridge, etc, etc) - Jack is the happy excited guy that shows me "hey hey, look at this WICKED sound I got out of it". Which I find equally important. No single reviewer is my go to solo opinion on a piece of gear. They all serve their purpose. Jack = Excitement and cool patches Nick = Honest assessment Loopop = Most well thought out clearly spoken overviews and demonstrations Ricky Tinez = Sweet hidden features and vibes BoBeats = That extra opinion with a sip of the coffee Red Means Recording = A more direct review with swearing. Facebook/GS/MW/Reddit = User comments, usually a little biased towards grumbling and complaining.
@16:40 if thats the limit of the "programmable arpeggiator".. then it does not have a programmable arpeggiator and that is very disappointing.. what is being demonstrated here is simply no more than a transposable step sequencer.
No hate. Your enthusiasm is infectious Jack. Well done Modal! This is my next synth.
🤯 What a sound 🤯 Yeah these guys are wizards, great informative content 👏🏾
Thanks for tuning in! We're glad you enjoyed the video. 🤘
That's some unique sound design in this price range. Very cool.
We're blown away with the amount of features packed inside this Synth for under £600! Thanks for tuning in. 🤘
The best Cobalt8 review I've watched. It's really interesting and powerful what this synth is capable to do. Thank you.
She's a modal and she's looking good

Well now I have G.A.S. Time to start saving up for this (while proceeding with my inexpensive synth rig for the meantime)! Wonderful video!
This time I’ll be wanting the X version!
Massive sound from a new synth on the wish list
The Argon8M is a very convenient size and a similar Cobalt8M would go down well. Must resist the GAS !

Listen to some RUclips demos and let your own ears decide.
They could have released it as a firmware update for argon8... the hardware is identical!!!
uhm no. it does look like an Argon8 (but ofcourse this one is BLUE) but it's not like loading new firmware is going to make it a insane VA synth.
There are apparently some hardware differences between the two from reading Models response to comments on one of their own videos.
@@steventaylor3789 yes, but it's a shady operation nonetheless, which I'm sure will piss off many argon owners
@@fabioj.w.6185 why? ARGON8 is wavetable - if you want wavetable why would annoyed at a VA?
@@fabioj.w.6185 Nonsense. It’s a different synth. It’s their choice. It’s your choice to go elsewhere.
How would you say the Cobalt 8 compares to the ASM Hydrasynth Explorer?
Nice guy, good demo, huge versatility, excellent value for money. Nevertheless the least analogue sounding VA synth I’ve ever heard.
So I don't know what's any of this means.. where do I start to learn? What hardware keyboard synth would be best to start and learn on?
Yamaha Reface CS or Roland SH-01a - simple basic interfaces.
Assuming you want a keyboard here? If you like synthy sounds then go for something with lots of controls as you'll find it easier to learn and create what you want to hear. This, Deepmind, Miniogue are worth looking at. Go for something polyphonic. If you want more realistic sounds the JDXI might be with a look.
One day we will look back on this "social distancing" thing and realize we were all a bunch of fools abiding by this nonsense. I love the Cobalt8.

Let's hope the synth ENGINE is better than a JAG's! : )

Please stop making mini synth make full synth 61 keys and larger and small keyless desktop models.
