Key Info
An elongated 61 key version using the same FATAR TP/9S mechanism with aftertouch, for those players who want an extended octave range.
The Argon8 bases its architecture on the Modal 002 design, based on the cutting-edge wavetable synthesizer engine. This specialised sound engine allows you to achieve a wide range of sound, from classic analog synth tones to modern-day EDM inspired tones. The Argon8 features eight voices of true polyphony, allowing you to unleash your creativity without limitations. It features a wide range of hands-on controls including a four-axis joystick and precision encoders for maximum flexibility.
It comes jam-packed with features and parameters designed to optimise your sound design process. From the two-pole morphing resonant filter to waveshaping distortion and the three user configurable stereo FX engines, you can craft virtually any sound you can dream up. From here, you can store up to 500 patches using the onboard memory slots. It comes ready with 300 factory programs and 200 user patch spaces, allowing you to upload and download patches through the free MODALapp.
