Modal Electronics Cobalt5S at a glance

The Cobalt5S from Modal Electronics is a five-voice virtual analogue synthesiser with a 37-key keyboard. The synthesis is based on 40 different algorithms that can generate more complex waveforms in addition to classic waveforms such as sine, pulse, triangle and sawtooth. The resonant four-pole ladder filter can be freely modified with four different filter types.

built-in polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator, as well as two parallel DSP effects, give the Cobalt5S a lively ad hoc feel

This slimmed-down version of the Cobalt series is ideal for anyone for whom space is an argument, but still can't or won't do without a keyboard. With the Cobalt5S you have to do without a joystick, but there's at least an equally cool X/Y/Z touchpad that can modulate any parameter three-dimensionally (thanks to a pressure point on the Z axis). As far as all parameters are concerned, the 5S is fully compatible with the other versions, so the patches are interchangeable. Only the number of voices is reduced compared to the other models. Power can be supplied via a separately available power supply or via USB.

Oscillators

40 high-resolution virtual analogue oscillators
up to 8 per voice
Two independent oscillator groups with sine, pulse, triangle and sawtooth waveforms
34 different algorithms, including: complex analogue synthesis techniques, integrated Crossmodulation (SYNC, RM and many more)
PWM
smooth Morphing between VA waves
bit crushing, filtered noise

Filter

Four-pole morphable ladder filter with resonance and four switchable configurations. Cutoff frequency is controlled by a large endless potentiometer, allowing precise and sensitive adjustment of the filter. Below this are the resonance and morphing controls, which allow stepless switching between four different filter characteristics (morphing). This feature, combined with complex oscillators, allows the creation of extremely abstract sounds, making the Modal Electronics Cobalt5S ideal for sound design.

Modulation

Three dedicated envelope generators for AMP, MOD and FILTER, which can be accessed independently or simultaneously, including negative (inverted) versions for MOD and FILTER ENVs. Three audio LFOs with tempo synchronisation (two poly, one global) with seven different waveforms. Eight assignable modulation slots and four fixed modulation routes for a total of 12 sources and 55 modulation destinations.
