The brushed steel surface together with the high-quality controls make a binding impression. Thanks to the OLED display, all important actions are visible at all times, even the waveform is displayed like on an oscilloscope. The purely digital sound generation of the Carbon8X comprises two oscillators that generate their sounds based on 18 algorithms and 38 Wavetables . The filter is a multimode morphing filter with 34 variants. This is followed by three effect blocks and plenty of modulation options. This synthesizer sounds very unique and is particularly recommended for ambient, evolving sounds and will make the heart of many a sound designer beat faster. Synthesis & Filter At the heart of the Carbon8M are the two high-resolution oscillators, which offer a Mix of 18 algorithms and 38 wavetables, i.e. a total of 56 waveform models. To process the oscillators, 18 XCore modifiers are available at oscillator level, including wavefolding, waveshaper, ring modulation, hardsync, phasedistortion and bitcrushing, which represent an astonishing extension of the existing spectrum. A nice detail are the vintage parameters, with which the accurate "circuits" (oscillator drift, filter, envelope behavior...) can be shifted towards the component-related inaccuracies of old synthesizers. In this way, the best possible vintage sound is achieved. The carefully created sound is then processed by a multimode morphing filter, which is a treasure trove for crazy sound design with 34 resonant filter types. Modulation & Controller The Carbon8X never gets boring, thanks to the versatile assignable modulation sources. In addition to the three dedicated ADSR envelopes for VCA, VCF and MOD , there are three LFOs that can be operated either BPM-synchronized or up to the audio range. An X/Y joystick not only replaces the pitch and mod wheels, but is also an independent modulation source. Modulations that are not permanently connected can be freely assigned in the modulation...
