The massive filter section of CARBON8 contains a wide selection of 34 different filter types. The available collection includes reminiscences of vintage filter models and modern Modal filter adaptations to carve or boost the crucial frequencies in your patch. Some models also offer drive and morph parameters to rough up the spectral spectrum or mangle sound in the most peculiar and spectacular ways

The integrated 512-note Realtime / Step Sequencer with four powerful Animation Lanes invites you to compose massive and complex melodic patterns. The polyphonic step sequencer mode enables easy step input for note and animation values. Multiple sequencer trigger modes coupled with the powerful onboard arpeggiator (programmable up to 32 steps) and features such as Chord Hold, Inversions, Transpose, Sustain Latch unleash powerful moving patterns for live and studio performances.
