Modal Electronics Release Free Monster Machine Patch Library for ARGON8

Modal Electronics’ ARGON8 is one of our go-to synths around the Noisegate office with its super versatile wavetable engine. The dizzying number of onboard wavetables and modifiers make it an adventurous sound designer’s dream (or nightmare in this case).

The factory preset library effectively demonstrates the range of sounds ARGON8 is capable of with plenty of spacious pads, chimey arpeggios and thick leads, but now Modal Electronics have chosen to really explore the darker side of wavetable synthesis.

Monster Machine is a free patch library ARGON8 owners can download right now from Modal Electronics ‘website and it’s packed to the brim with dark, brooding, positively evil patches for all of your dark synth requirements.

We couldn’t resist putting together a mini horror film soundtrack using nothing but Monster Machine patches, as well as some retro drums and cheesy video filters. Check it out!
