Used - Fully tested - Excellent conditionShips in the original box with PSU and quick start guideModal Electronics Carbon 8MCarbon 8M from Modal Electronics is a desktop version of the powerful Carbon 8 Experimental Synthesizer, providing eight voices of versatile tools for crafting unique tones from organic to otherworldly. In a compact form factor fit for any studio desk or rackmounted set-up, the Carbon 8M offers the same depth in sound design as its keyed counterpart. Surf between diverse timbral domains with the two oscillators of Carbon 8M, each with fifty-six selectable cores, which generate eighteen algorithmic engines or thirty-eight wavetables.This vast sonic territory can be further expanded with XCore Oscillator Modifiers, inviting the tumultuous tones of phase distortion, wavefolding, and waveshaping, or tamed into sweetness with the expansive filter modeling section. All the while, a generous dose of modulation is available from three LFOs and three envelope generators, making sounds move with life and nuance. Go even deeper to sculpt musical gestures and motifs using the onboard, 512-note step sequencer, four automation lanes, and formidable arpeggiator, creating expressive performances with ease on stage or in the studio. With support for MPE MIDI, Carbon 8M provides a uniquely expressive synth engine to explore with an MPE controller.The Carbon 8M doesn't stop at its powerful and performative synth engine, giving you a feature-packed stereo effects section to take your tones over the top. Across three effects slots, you can dial in detailed processing with reverbs, choruses, delays, EQ, and so much more. With a total of 500 preset patch slots available, you can save all your favorite tones for immediate recall when it's time to record or perform. In its rugged steel and aluminum enclosure, Carbon 8M seamlessly integrates into any workflow, with versatile connectivity for audio, MIDI, and external sustain or expression controls. If your studio's sound sources are fading into too familiar territory, the Carbon 8M from Modal Electronics is here to offer next-generation sounds with expressive control.Carbon 8M Features8-Voice Polyphonic Experimental Desktop Synthesizer2x high-resolution digital oscillators with 56 Digital Core waveforms per oscillatorDigital oscillator cores include 18 digital algorithms and 38 wavetablesXCore modifiers like wave shape, wave fold, phase distortion, and more for complex timbresVintage parameter and oscillator drift for vintage sound34 resonant filter types including morphable state variable types, classic ladder filters, and more3x ADSR envelope generators for amplifier, filter, and modulation3x multishape LFOs with tempo sync and wide frequency range into audio rate8x assignable modulation slots and 4x fixed modulation routings with 12 sources and 55 destinationsPolyphonic real time 512-step sequencer and 4x recordable parameter automation lanesPolyphonic step sequencer with 64 steps and 4x lanes of parameter lock automationProgrammable multimode arpeggiator3x stereo effects slots including drive, chorus, delays, reverb, and more500 total patch memory slots with 300 factory patches and 8x quick recall slotsModulation joystick with many assignable destinationsMPE MIDI compatible for expressive controlCompact tabletop unit with included rack ears for 19" rack mountingPowerful editor software with free MODALapp for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android
