    That sounds awesome. Although I wish they'd put it Inna rack unit.

  • Im really liking that......  Would go nice with my Peak, and the programmable arp is something the peak doesnt have.

    There's now a module for £499, and an "X" variant for £650 with what looks like a touchscreen.
    Some folks like water, some folks like wine.
    My feedback thread is here.

    Isn’t the X is just bigger and what you see as a touchscreen is an iPad?

    Doh..... Just as I was about settled on a Minilogue XD module, this module comes in at the same price.....  Need to work out which complements peak and my FA07s VA engine better. 

    The XD has a programable sequencer which I could really use, and an open source oscolator, but at its heart it is similar to peak in many ways.  Peak also has some wavetables, but its stripped down wavetable functionality really.

    More research is needed.

    OK - spent some time checking videos - and speaking to Modal direct.  Id love one of these with the keyboard - full sized keys with after touch (non of my main boards have after touch......when I replace my FA07 with a Fantom 6/7 ift will but thats some way off) - and the price compared to the module isnt much more BUT I just cant make the space..... I have a small room with a 3 tier stand plus workspace plus guitars/amps etc.  I can move my mixer (well actually replace it with a 1U rack mixer I can mount under my top tier) but that only makes 320mm and the keyboard version of Argon is 555mm.

    Its the same reason Ive not got a Minilogue XD yet - that 500mm and Ive been trying to work a way of accommodation one of those.

    HOWEVER, the Argon Module version is of a diminutive size at 380mm wide and 140mm deep.  I can make it fit.....with a 40mm overhang of my shelf either side.  Its the same functionally as the Keyboard version - though the encoders have push functions in place of some of the keyboards dedicated buttons, and there are fewer LEDs. 

    I was concerned there are no labels for sequencer/animation lane functions on the M8s face - but the sequencer is there - so Ive pre-ordered an Argon 8 Module for end of Feb.

    Hope I dont regret it.
