The Modal Argon8 takes sound design to the next level, providing you with 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets. The wavetables span generations and genre, from classic analog waveforms to cutting-edge EDM styles. The new sound engine opens up a new world of synthesis creation, providing a wide-range of onboard controls to get hand-on with your tones.
