Modal Electronics ARGON8 + ARGON8M digital synths - $1 (Vancouver)
QR Code Link to This Post
Both synths are fully functional and in great overall condition.
Buy one or both, combine ARGON8 + ARGON8M for 16-voices of polyphony, and enjoy the sounds of digital wavetable synthesis!
These synthesizers are incredible for lush soundscapes, pads, leads, bass, keys, FM tones and more. Utilize 120 wavetables and craft your own sonic landscapes.
Cosmetically in excellent shape (the 8M still has plastic on screen). The Argon8 has a very minor cosmetic ding on bottom back-right, never been an issue for me.
- ARGON8: $750
- ARGON8M: $600
- ARGON8 + ARGON8M: $1300 (save $50!)
Pickup downtown Vancouver, cash only. Thanks for looking!

SPECS
Oscillators
• 120 carefully crafted wavetables split into 24 banks of 5 morphable waveform sets, covering virtual analogue classics through to cutting edge EDM and many from the original Modal 002 as well as a whole range of mathematically generated
tables. Additional PWM bank and 3 noise/modulation banks accessible on Oscillator 2.
• 32 static wavetable processors including de-rez, wave folders, wave shapers, phase shapers and rectify that can be applied to the 120 wavetables to give a mind boggling array of permutations and new waveshapes.
• 32 high resolution wavetable oscillators, 4 per voice, with 8 types of oscillator modifier including: Phase Mod (FM), Ring Mod, Amp Mod, Hard Sync and Windowed Sync.
Keyboard
• FATAR TP9/S Full size 37 key keybed with both velocity and aftertouch
• 1.54 inch large OLED display provides instant visual feedback to the user at all times of playing/editing
• Multiple keyboard modes, Mono, Poly, Unison 2, unison 4, unison 8, Stack 2 and Stack 4
