Modal Electronics 008 analogue poly |
| Description |
Destined to be an absolute classic of analogue polysynths - in fact probably there already. This was sold at VEMIA four years ago, and has now returned to the auction looking identical - very little used, probably always stored in its original very well designed carton. Back in 2020 it had the latest software - not sure if there have been any revisions since. We've only tested a tiny part of the abilities of this synth, but everything we tried was perfect (once we realised that you need both outputs connected because the eight-voice structure is always split 4 + 4, panned left and right.....). It's worth checking the various discussions on gearspace, which highlight two very contrasting opinions of this machine. Not something that appeals to everyone, and not something that has great factory programs, but potentially great-sounding in the right hands. The comments remind me of the original reaction to the PPG Waves, Andromeda, and actually Xpander too. This really is a gorgeous design, sounding great, and visually one of the most beautiful synths ever made. MODAL made the probably wise decision to start with no-expense-spared real analogue design before branching out into much lower-cost spinoffs - which are all successful, but in a completely lower league than this and their 002 - also long-since discontinued (and nowhere near as pretty as the 008). We'll cover the carton in card to keep it looking great (6GBP). |
