Argon 8 Module review // affordable wavetable synthesizer

I really like this synth already! As you point out people have different tastes/preferences when it comes to Tonal aspects and as much as I’m really impressed by KORG’s ModWave, I would rather stick with Modal Electronics when it comes to Workflow anyway because I have their COBALT 5 model. I do wish there was a ‘Z’ Parameter with the Argon & Cobalt 8, but its perhaps difficult implementing that into a Joystick controller (not all that important anyway)! I do like how Small it is and think it would fit into my particular small setup nicely!

Great review as always!!

sorry if i missed that part but is the filter digital too?

I can't decide between the Argon8 and argon8m what one do you find better?

Never understood why someone need something computer already do well if not better. I mean wavetable synthesiser. I can understand Peak. It has lots of controls and analog filter and so on. This have non of this and sound like average vst. Why would someone spend cash on it I dunno. I’m not hating, I have tried it, just don’t understand why?

Thank you for this detailed but very easy to follow video! I want another voice for my setup and I think I will finally pull the trigger on the Argon 8. Despite not having some of the controls that the keyboard version has, the module still looks intuitively laid out. I’m kind of a stickler for things like that. It has to be idiotproof for me since, well…. Thank you again!

Perfect for spectral sounds and effects,no bass and other stuff.its quite original,very raro no days

This or the new Korg bad boy with the red nobs?

How to connect into my pc and record into the daw 😭😭😭😭

Do you know of any hardware wavetable synth that has Serum-like capabilities in how LFOs can be shaped and applied to modulation destinations? I am talking about control over the LFO shape. Thanks.

Hey Bo! is this module synth too much different from a Minilogue XD module? they cover same aspects? also, I'm about to buy a Pulse 2 module, how they compare each other? thanks!

With such a TINY OLED, why would they use such small fonts? At least they could have made the number values much BIGGER!

I would like to hear a comparison with the Modwave before choosing one of the two.

Thank you so much for your thorough review! I’m curious: did you test the app (either on computer or iPad) and do you prefer using that for patch sculpting & editing? I imagine that could make a massive difference in productivity while creating.

The Buttons and Knobs are so clicky. :(

Where's it made?

I just bought this. Thanks for the demo.

Anyone know if I can use a Pedal for the aftertouch funktion? I'm thinking of getting cobalt 8 m and using my E Piano as an controller. But I dont want to miss the aftertouch. Thanks.

Thanks for your great review. I'd like your opinion about the Argon 8 module vs the blofeld ?

Did modal add remove animation option for sequencer? its very necessary.

i love it, i want it
