In this new series, I am talking about each of my synthesizers, starting with the simplest one, and moving upwards to the most complex.
In episode 6, we feature the Modal Electronics Cobalt8, an "Extended" Virtual Analog synthesizer with jaw-dropping sounds, a luxurious keybed and some innovative features.
A short demo track made entirely with the Cobalt8 can be heard at 48:51
Sample presets played are at 1:05:44
*** Addendum ***
I realized after this video was published, that I forgot to demonstrate two of the best features of the sequencer! You can set it up to "gate" so that pressing a key on the keyboard steps it through. You can also set it up so that it transposes the sequencer depending on the key you pressed.
