Specification
Polyphony
• True 5 voice polyphonic with option to polychain any two COBALT5S synthesisers for 10
voice polyphony.
MPE
• Supports MPE-compatible MIDI controllers, allowing you to apply polyphonic control and
expression to individual notes
Oscillators
• 2 independent oscillator groups, each with selectable algorithms, self-contained oscillator
cross-modulation and control
• 40 algorithms including a variety of complex analogue synthesis techniques, built in cross-
modulation (SYNC, RM, and many more), PWM, smooth Morphing between VA waves,
bit crushing and filtered noise
• Each algorithm has carefully curated controls that make complex synthesis simple with
just two parameters
• Extended Oscillator Drift
Filter
• Four-pole morphable ladder filter, with switchable configurations
Modulation
• Three dedicated envelope generators for AMP, MOD and FILTER that can be accessed
independently or all three simultaneously including negative (reverse) versions for MOD
and FILTER ENVs
• Two LFO’s with tempo sync (one poly, one global) with seven different shapes
• Eight assignable modulation slots and four additional fixed modulation routings for
common assignments with 11 modulation sources and 41 modulation destinations
Specification
Sequencer and Arpeggiator
• Polyphonic Real-time and Step sequencer with 512 notes and four recordable/editable
parameter animations (Delay FX, LFO’s, sequencer and arpeggiator can be either clocked
internally or externally)
• Step Sequencer holds up to 64 steps, 5 notes per step, 4 lanes of Parameter-Lock style
animation, Step Input mode, multiple playback modes including gate modes and rest
function
• Built-In sophisticated programmable arpeggiator of 32 steps with rest capability and
random up to 2048 steps before repeating
FX
• Two incredibly powerful independent and user-configurable stereo FX engines for Chorus
and Stereo Delay
User Memory
• 300 patch memories, all fully editable; ships with 200 factory programs
• 100 sequencer presets that can be linked to any patch for quickly loading arrangements
• 4 Quick Recall slots accessible from the panel for quickly loading your favourite patches
Controls and Performance
• Premium 37 compact-key keyboard with velocity and channel aftertouch
• 16 switched encoders support realtime CC message transmissions to other MIDI devices
or DAWs
• Five-axis X/Y/Z pressure-sensitive keypad for pitch bend, mod wheel and/or modulation
assignments
• Multiple keyboard modes, Mono, Poly, Stack 2, Unison 2, Unison 4
• Glide/Portamento with both legato and staccato modes
