ARGON8M 8 Voice Polyphonic Wavetable Synthesizer Module

I picked one of these up about a month ago. It is a great machine. So much to play around with as far as features go and so many sound possibilities. Also the effects give it such a full rich sound. Really impressed for the price of the unit! Also very solidly built metal case and good keybed.

a 2 osc synth with wavetables and 8 voices.. while ergonomically pleasant in an ikea sort of way, the sound is nothing to write home about, although the key bed is (a fatar keybed as used by Access Virus, Dave Smith etc). The realty of my ownership is that after the first few days of playing, the synth actually simply did not offer anything special..it sounds ok, but would probably not be as overall useful as its cousin, the Cobalt 8...Modal clearly put lots of money and effort into the aesthetics, (the metal chassis, keybed etc) however this disguises the cheap internals. Most notably of which is that whomever designed the power supply, decided to cheap out by not having a standard IEC connector and designed instead an unprotected power circuit, as in no fuses nor circuit protection. A very large range of power adapter plugs can fit this generic socket so be warned.Customer service from this UK based company is, in my experience, largely non existent so bear this in mind if you purchase.
