MODAL CARBON 8 8-VOICE ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL SYNTH 37 KEYS

Radical Sound Design & Performance

CARBON8 redefines modern synthesis with its Experimental Digital Synthesis engine, delivering an 8-voice polyphonic experience with advanced waveform algorithms and wavetables. Built for sound designers, producers, and performers, CARBON8 offers a powerful suite of modulation, sequencing, and expressive performance tools.

With over 40 complex algorithms, a massive 34-type filter section, and 56 digital core waveforms per oscillator, CARBON8 allows musicians to craft unique, contemporary sounds across multiple genres. Integrated MPE support, an advanced step sequencer, and a programmable arpeggiator elevate real-time composition and live performance.

Designed for seamless integration, CARBON8 features full-size MIDI connections, 3.5mm Sync In/Out, and MODALapp compatibility for effortless control across macOS, Windows, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and AU/VST3. Encased in a road-ready aluminum chassis, it houses a FATAR 37-key premium keyboard with aftertouch, ensuring an exceptional playing experience.
