The Modal Carbon 8X 8-Voice Synthesizer is available at SynthforSale. Order now for fast UK home delivery. Deep sound design with Core and XCore engines At the heart of the Carbon 8X is a powerful digital engine built around two oscillators per voice each capable of generating real-time Core waveforms including algorithms and wavetables. These feed into XCore cross-modulation processes allowing users to design rich detailed sounds not possible with standard synthesis. Six static oscillator modifiers oscillator free run and a dedicated vintage control give users further options to add movement and texture. With 16 oscillators across 8 voices the range of tones possible is vast and endlessly customisable. Dynamic control with filters envelopes and LFOs Shape your sound with 34 different filter types and three ADSR envelope generators for amp filter and modulation. This layout gives users the flexibility to target specific aspects of the sound crafting nuanced sonic changes that respond to performance and automation. Three LFOs offer fifteen shapes each adding rhythmic and tonal modulation that can be transformed and assigned as needed. These features are key for building evolving pads sharp leads or intricate textures that shift over time. Sequencer and arpeggiator for performance-ready ideas The integrated polyphonic sequencer can store up to 512 notes with four lanes of editable parameter automation ideal for sketching complex patterns or full performance-ready sections. The 32-step programmable arpeggiator includes multiple direction modes and rest capability helping turn simple ideas into intricate rhythmic sequences. Both tools are designed for real-time use giving producers and performers responsive creative options without needing external gear or software. Together they make Carbon 8X more than just a sound generator; becomes an active compositional tool. Premium build with advanced connectivity Carbon 8X features a full-sized FATAR TP9/S keybed that supports expressive playing styles across its 61 keys. The metal enclosure ensures durability for touring and frequent studio use. It includes USB MIDI audio input headphone out MIDI I/O and sync connections allowing easy integration with DAWs controllers and other gear. With 500 memory slots (300 factory programs preloaded) MPE support and MODALapp compatibility Carbon 8X is built to adapt to modern workflows with ease and flexibility.
