Jim Heywood from Earmonkey music responded to multiple requests via our Instagram comments, to take a closer look at the Modal Electronics Carbon8.
It looks like after a period of uncertainty, that Modal will be back, and the Carbon8 will be in production.
Carbon 8 employs over 40 complex waveform algorithms, and is geared towards the more aggressive and modern spectrum of sounds. With two discrete oscillators, the Carbon 8 has a similar form factor to earlier Modal Synths, but has a new mixing stage with independent level controls for each oscillator.
We also got a chat with Christian Stahl in this video about the future of the company as well as a little more detail on the synth.
