Modal Quick Dive - ARGON8 Firmware v3 

Thank you for keep honoring us Argon users/musicians. This is how you build a loyal community. Please keep surprising us

This update is truly unbelievable. Thank you for listening to users and all the hard work that went in to making this happen. Modal is really making inspiring stuff.

Wow, great update. Can't wait til some of these features ecentualy come to Cobalt 8, especially the new filters and effects.

Just wow! Honestly not a single brand as dedicated to keeping their products relevant over time. Usually its just ship it and forget it. Much love to ME for thinking different! Gonna enjoy this evening playing with the new filters and distortion types!

Firmware updated! Gotta say I love a tasteful amount of Vintage (about 25-30) along with the ladder filter and a touch of resonance. Really pleasing, and right up my alley. The synth is even more usable for my music now, thanks!

Did he say improved internal gain staging? Oh my god finally.

Amazing update! I hope you will keep upgrading Cobalt as well, love your synths

Wow, I've been playing through the new presets and can only conclude that this update is truly huge. It's like some of the hidden potential is only now showing fully. Can't wait to spend some time making presets myself with these new features. Love some of those cheeky preset names, by the way. If I could make one suggestion it would be for a way to try out all these great presets from different firmware versions (and artist sounds banks) in the app without having to load them to the device first. This would make it a lot less time consuming to make a personalised selection out of all these great presets. Thanks for all the hard work and dedication to fixing issues and especially adding new functionality and features. My Argon8X is one of the best instrument purchases I've made and I enjoy it so much. Beautiful synth!

sold my hydra synth explorer. Argon here you come

Well eff me, I am baffled. That is what I call customer service and love. Thank you Modal crew for improving your already good instruments all the time. ❤ those big companies (with the exception of novation, they rock too) should watch and learn how it's done (looking at you Roland).

I'd just like to tell you Modal that this makes this synth a lot lot more attractive to me! Great work and support for your product...I might become an owner!

My "studio" is an Argon8X and an Akai MPC One. The difference in quality and customer support between the two products and, by extension, Modal and Akai is astonishing. Modal absolutely nailing here. The one time I had to contact support my issue was solved in < 30 minutes. Keep it up.

This made me order Argon 8X. Seems like genuine fun synth.

Couldn't believe how much you packed into this update. Really appreciate the way you support your products

Damn it! After procrastinating all morning, tinkering with my Argon, I sat down to have some lunch with every intention of working on a looming deadline, this popped on my feed and now I've downloaded it. Oh well, still 4 days until the deadline. Great work Modal.

Epic upgrade!!

Amazing new update,thank you so much Modal fellas!!Can't wait to finish from work to go have fun!

Wow will something like this be available for Cobalt 8 down the line?

Thank you so much, great improvements!

Amazing updates! Appreciate the commitment!!!

Would love to see the OSC Free run and “ vintage “ meta function make to Cobalt8 along with the Sallen Key and the OG A8 2 pole SVF as well to do MS and OB style patches 😉

Very happy with this update, thank you!!

Great update, thanks!

Awesome update. I just tried out the new reverb, and y'all have outdone yourselves pretty damn hard. It's awesome. I love the new chorus and phaser, too, and the EQ is a super welcome and invaluable addition.

Awesome work. Thanks Modal.

Thanks, Modal!! The things we can do now with the new filters, the amazing new reverb, and then the free run and vintage parameter, just curious where you'll take Cobalt next, loved my Argon8m since the first day I got it, and really happy to see the evolution here! Though I can't see any need for a Cobalt after this... A little quirk with the modal app though, try running it and using it as a librarian on an MS Surface (no mouse or kb connected, just finger and pen), not easy, and not a very tablet-friendly interface!

amazing job! thank you

Now we're talking, thanks Modal, now I regret that I sold one and I'll buy a new one soon.

amazing update!

Six months ago, I got my first synthesizer, which was Argon. And after I began to get to know him, it became clear what potential and strength he had. And this is confirmed. You guys are great. I'm going to install the update.️🙌

you crazy guys - well done - seriously

Wow Modal! What a massive support for this already wonderful synth! Thank you so much ♥️ For me, it is perfect timing. I am just going deep into it with mine and was wondering whether it would benefit from a distortion. But now its almost a Cobalt as well!!! Good job!

Thank you!

Amazing new update for V3 🔥

Oh my god, I'm so excited to get off work and update my 8X. Thank you!

Awesome 😎👍

Woohoo! Go on Modal!

I hope the Cobalt8 gets these updates as well =)

Holy moly

Please make an oscilloscope display here, as with the Hydrosynth. It's nothing major, but looks very cool :)

ОХУЕННО!

damn, this is big

Please update the Cobalt with these features - been wanting free running oscs since the beginning. :)

So is the new analog and vintage mode available on the Cobalt?

People always said argon’s FX were quite awful, does this update improves them? That’s the only thing holding me back from buying this synth

Please take at least the Reverb to Cobalt8 😕. That’s my only real regret. Anything else can wait

I attempted to update to this firmware and it bricked my synth. Its now stuck in a cycle of factory resetting & "incorrect firmware, please contact support" So far the support team has been frustrating to work with. Any assistance would be appreciated!

The argon and cobalt plugin overloads the cpu in Ableton 12 and constantly crashes on a 12-core xeon MAC with 64gb ram, how is it possible? Please fix that now and offer support so I don't have to put these types of comments in public, thank you

Cobalt8 firmware update soon?
