8 voice experimental synthesiser

CARBON8X introduces radical new ways to create, experiment with and perform next-generation synth sounds. CARBON8X’s sound engine, twice as complex as in our acclaimed ARGON8 and COBALT8 series, embeds complex waveform algorithms and wavetables into an 8-voice superior synth engine with outstanding filter technology and exciting LFO capabilities.

To complement the innovative CARBON8X sound generation, we added unparalleled modulation options, an inspiring real-time / step sequencer, the energising arpeggiator, the Premium FATAR 61-note keyboard, MPE, studio-quality effects and MODALapp integration. CARBON8X is the ideal synth for everyone who wants to leave everyday synth experiences and endeavor the raw and exciting world of contemporary sound dimensions.
