Modal Electronics has announced the Argon8-M, a digital 8-voice polyphonic wavetable synthesizer module. The Argon8-M is built on a 32-oscillator architecture, which can be played polyphonically, monophonically, in unison, or stacked. The Argon8-M also feagtures de-rez, waveshaping distortion, an effects engine, morphable filters, envelope generators, an arpeggiator and a 512-step sequencer.
The Argon8-M’s 32 high-resolution oscillators respond to a pair of selectable waveshapes from 120 morphable wavetables. Additionally, oscillator two includes pulse-width modulation and noise generation to warble up a signal before it hits any other processor. At a minimum, each of the four voices contains four stacked oscillators, but, with optional mono, unison, and stack modes, Argon8-M can create even denser soundscapes. You can also take advantage of its spread function to slight detune all of the oscillators for a textured, rippling chorus, or tune them to intervals to explode the synth’s polyphonic capabilities. With a steel and aluminum chassis, the Argon8-M also offers ample connectivity: 5-pin DIN I/O, USB-MIDI, 1/4″ stereo outs, 3.5mm stereo input, and analog clock sync I/O.

Argon8-M contains a selection of processors that includes de-rez, waveshaping distortion, and a user-configurable stereo effects engine with delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, and phaser. A two-pole multi-type morphable filter, three dedicated envelope generators (for AMP, MOD, and FILTER), and two-audio rate LFOs, further expand Argon8’s soundscaping possibilities, and a Mod Matrix lets users knit modulators together into new sonic tapestries. You can also drive Argon8-M’s many functions with an assignable 4-axis joystick.
The Argon8-M houses a 512-step sequencer with four recordable parameter animations and a programmable 32-step arpeggiator with rest capability. Argon8-M has 200 user patch memory slots, and you can upload and download patches with the free ModalApp, compatible with macOS, iOS, Windows, and Android devices, and instantiable in your DAW.
