Each voice runs four wavetable oscillators drawn from 180 morphing wavetables, and the keys respond to velocity and channel aftertouch. A 512-note sequencer, a 32-step arpeggiator and MPE support cover performance, and the free MODALapp editor opens every parameter on a computer, tablet or phone, or inside your DAW as a plugin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWavetables and Filters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 180 wavetables sit in 36 banks of five waveforms that morph from one to the next. Oscillator 2 adds a PWM bank and three noise and modulation banks, and 32 modifiers such as de-rez, wave folding, phase shaping and rectify reshape any table. Eight morphing filter types follow, from 2-pole state variable designs to a 4-pole ladder with drive and a Sallen-Key filter.

The arpeggiator runs patterns of up to 32 steps with rests. On the panel, 29 endless encoders, 24 buttons and a four-axis joystick give direct access to the engine, and two Argon8 units can be poly-chained for 16
