COBALT8 Factory Library Vol 2 Play Through 

I'm 52 and I feel ya. Thankfully, the MODALapp makes programming so much easier than using the oled screen.

@@christophermcdonald6471 I keep hoping companies will add hdmi out so we can add whatever size screen we want. Think this is bad, try a korg wavestation. Endless menu dives on a tiny screen. More like 1980s tech in 2022 synths.

Almost 60 here. need double glasses to see the display !!!

@@sK3LeTvM1 LOLZ. I'm 51, and already can't see sh*T. These tiny screens! Who actually enjoys being bound to tiny menu diving??? It's not suppose to be a freak'n puzzle. It's suppose to be intuitive and enjoyable. There's a tool for every tool I suppose! LOLZ.

@@Curious_Skeptic I use the Modal app on my laptop. The laptop has an hdmi port so I connect the laptop to my flatscreen, and voila! I don't even need my reading glasses.

So glad someone else recognised this too :)))

+1000 on this idea

AFAIK, FM synthesis has been done almost entirely in the digital domain (unless you mean Buchla), but I second the idea nonetheless.

The cobalt has an extra LFO and more ability to modify the waveforms with those LFOs. So while you are limited in wave shapes you can do more with them. It is different to the argon.

@@bevis9877 Ah, I see. Thanks for that!

@@OMG_so_Nerdy I like to say one is industrial cyberpunk metal, the other is modular funk nuwave. ;)

@@MajorOSC based on the majority of their presets , you mean? Your descriptions both make me think of my Argon 8, along with it being one of the best symths I've heard for soundscapes/ambient music as well.

@@OMG_so_Nerdy No it's not about presets it was merely a bit of general characterization based on amusing genres and aesthetics. The best way to discover the big differences would be to go try one yourself, or watch more videos of people going into depth with some of the crazier algorithms. There's tons you can do with a cobalt8 that you can't otherwise do on an argon8, and the same applies the other direction as well. I suppose you're really just trying to figure out whether the cobalt8 offers enough uniqueness in it's sound to be of any relevance to you. That'll be best decided by just buying one. Send it back if it doesn't work out. There's a sort of versus battle between the two on my page you can check out if interested.

Don't know. But I really liked the keyboard sound. I'd be stuck on that for a while.

Dire docks sir. And yes it's from the water level on Mario 64. That was me playing it. ;)

In recent firmware its possible to change the enevlopes behaviour to me more snappy, and other variations too
