Modal Electronics Cobalt8

Honestly, these synths sound like a digital toy, they need to tweak the sound so it will be fat and less digital.
Because the interface is excellent, but not the sound.

[SHall1000]

Why do all synth sounds have to be fat and analogue? What’s wrong with thin and digital sounds?

I have no issue with the sound so far.
I have to record it yet, but I believe it’ll sit well in the mix - which is what matters to me, I’m not doing solo synth music.

Ive had the Argon 8 since it came out, play it all the time…love the keys sounds and arps, solid build too. Ill likely buy the cobalt too when I do a rearrange and free up some space. I think modal did a great job with these synths…put it this way I bought it with a hydrasynth, that remains pretty much untouched in comparison, and it took the deskspace from a karp oddy, which now sits against the wall.

I just found a strange behaviour of Cobalt8:
Spread Saw algorithm, right after the B2 parameter is turned above 0, it's dropping about 4-5dB of volume.
It makes it super unusable while mixing between two oscillators (different algorithms) or even when playing live and tweaking B2 from 0 to 1 or above.

I wrote about this bug on the Cobalt8 group on FB, and the admin (who is a hardcore Cobalt8 defender) blocked me Apparently, because I was trolling there and on other groups which I've never joined This is another level of not being able to take criticism of a favourite synth
