The Cobalt5S from Modal Electronics is a five-voice virtual analog synthesizer with a 37-key keyboard. The synthesis is based on 40 different algorithms, which 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 morphed using four different filter types. The built-in polyphonic sequencer and arpeggiator, as well as the two parallel DSP effects give the Cobalt5S a lively character ad hoc.
The slimmed down version of the Cobalt series is ideal for all those for whom space is an argument and yet you can't or don't want to do without a keyboard. You have to do without the joystick on the Cobalt5S, but there is an at least as cool X/Y/Z touchpad, which can modulate any parameter three-dimensionally (due to the pressure point of the Z-axis). Regarding all parameters, the 5S is fully compatible with all other versions, so that 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 USB.
