■Modal Electronics / COBALT 5S

The latest synthesizer “COBALT 5S” has arrived from MODAL, an up-and-coming synthesizer manufacturer in the UK. As the name suggests, its cobalt blue body is so refreshing. Although it is priced for beginners, it has a sound engine equivalent to that of the higher-end models, in "COBALT series". In addition, Modal’s proud editor "Modal app" is available for free! Recommended for a wide range of people, from beginners to those who want to stick to sound making.
