With its clear\u003cbr\u003eand rich sound, a range of real-time controls, compatibility with\u003cbr\u003eMPE, a clearly structured user interface and integrated tools\u003cbr\u003eInterpretation, the Argon8 is a unique instrument, designed to\u003cbr\u003eOffer an unparalleled sound experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sophisticated wave table synthesizer engine\u003cbr\u003eArgon8 generates thousands of different sonic combinations with its feature of\u003cbr\u003eSeamless waveform transformation. Explore evolving ambient textures,\u003cbr\u003eclassic pads and modern chords and basses, dark drones and\u003cbr\u003ePsychedelic noise textures - Argon8 is a true playground for the\u003cbr\u003esound designer.

With Argon8 virtually any sound\u003cbr\u003eimagination comes alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFour types of morphable filter options provide\u003cbr\u003eContemporary and classic sound shaping. Two flexible audio rate LFOs (1x\u003cbr\u003epolyphonic) can be routed to a huge amount of\u003cbr\u003edestinations using the modulation matrix and synchronized with the internal\u003cbr\u003eor external clock. Three dedicated envelopes for filter, amplifier and\u003cbr\u003emodulation provide precise control over dynamics and expression.\u003cbr\u003eThe sophisticated 12-slot modulation matrix of the Argon8 allows\u003cbr\u003eyou to easily assign complex modulation routings for evolving soundscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTake performance to a new level with the integrated 512-note step\u003cbr\u003e(or real-time) sequencer with 4 powerful animation tracks,\u003cbr\u003ewhich inject massive and complex transitions into sounds in a way\u003cbr\u003ethat LFOs and envelopes simply don't provide. The polyphonic\u003cbr\u003emode of the 64-note step sequencer allows easy entry of\u003cbr\u003enotes and animation values to create fantastic melodic patterns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMultiple sequencer trigger modes, along with the\u003cbr\u003epowerful built-in arpeggiator (programmable up to 32 steps) and performance\u003cbr\u003efeatures such as chord hold, inversions, transpose, sustain stack and the\u003cbr\u003ejoystick turn the Argon8 wave table synthesizer into a dream for\u003cbr\u003eperformers and musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArgon8's professional approach for serious artists\u003cbr\u003efinds its perfect expression in the robust steel and aluminium chassis and in\u003cbr\u003ethe full-size 61-note TP\/9S keybed.
