COBALT8M
COBALTシリーズは64のバーチャル・アナログオシレーターを搭載した最大8音ポリフォニックのシンセ。4ポールのモーファブルラダーフィルターを搭載。最大4つのオシレーターを備えた2つの独立したオシレーターグループは、同期、リングモジュレーション、波形モーフィングなどの34の独自の複雑なアルゴリズムを使用して、新世代のシンセサウンドを生み出します。
各アルゴリズムには、特定のアルゴリズムまたはキャラクターに合わせて選択されたコントロールのペアがあり、複雑なオシレーター変調を生み出します。
512音のリアルタイム/ステップシーケンサーを搭載。ポリフォニック64ノートステップシーケンサーモードでは、ノートとアニメーションの値を簡単にステップ入力できます。さらに強力なオンボードアルペジエーター(最大32ステップでプログラム可能)およびコードホールド、インバージョン、トランスポーズ、サステインラッチなどのパフォーマンス機能と組み合わせた複数のシーケンサートリガーモードを備えています。
MODALapp(macOS、Windows、iOS、iPadOS、Androidのスタンドアロンアプリ、VST3/AUプラグイン対応)によりCOBALTの全パラメーターをコントロール、そしてライブラリー管理が行えます。
