Highly recommended, especially to those looking for a synth that excels at pads – check out our preset pack here to hear some examples: Modal Argon8: ‘Serenity’ To be quite frank, at under $500 it’s a steal and is a sound designers dream. The Argon8 is a fully-featured wavetable synth that has it all – a deep mod matrix, lovely FX, great build quality, deep sequencer and most importantly, a huge range of wavetables and ways to twist, warp and modulate them beyond recognition. In the past, MODAL has been focused on more expensive synthesizers, but have gradually released more affordable synths. When MODAL first announced the price for the Argon8 series, our jaws hit the floor. A huge range of potential with 8 voice polyphony, 120 wavetable shapes and deep mod-matrix including 2 LFO’s, aftertouch, MPE support and more.ModalApp application is a welcome addition and provides slightly easier control over parameters and easy to use preset management.Sequencer is both easy to use and deep, and most parameters can be recorded onto it.Rich and detailed FX engine which also comes with functionality for saving your FX presets (reverbs, delays, bit crushers, rotary fx, choruses and more).Loads of wavetables to choose from and ways to manipulate them, including processors and modifiers.View on the Novation website: Modal Argon 8 Great for anyone looking for a fully-featured analogue mono synth with full-sized keys that doesn’t break the bank. The BS2 has been in our studio since it’s original release and that in itself is testament to how well-loved it is since we’re always swapping out our synths! The BS2 is a workhorse of a synth and should be in everyone’s studio. It’s also been well supported by Novation who recently added extra functionality, including a paraphonic mode enabling 2 notes to be playable the same time. The BS2 is a perfect solution for anyone looking for a fully-featured mono analogue synth that doesn’t break the bank. The Bass Station 2 has been around for some time now, but as the old saying goes – if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Duophonic – split both oscillators across 2 notes.
