The Argon 8X also has aftertouch, something I don’t have in my current rig.NO PERSONAL ATTACKS - Please keep comments constructive! Personal attacks, insults, and bad faith criticism of users equipment or music will not be tolerated. In terms of space the Wavestate wins, though there’s a modular version of the Argon 8. There’s menu diving, small keys, few octaves and yet I find myself drawn to it. Wavestate – in the spirit of the Korg Wavestation, this is capable of some fantastic, complex sounds.

At the price point both of these look good.Īrgon 8X – much needed 5 octave version of the intriguing Argon 8, great keyboard, easy to use, little menu diving and the cheaper of the two. Like a lot of synth players, I keep a list of synths I’d buy given a) the money and b) the space. Similarly priced (I’ve seen £649 and £699 respectively) they are both attractive yet different.

These are the Modal Argon 8X and the Korg Wavestate. I’ve probably said it before and I’ll no doubt say it again, but it’s a great time to be into synthesisers! NAMM 2020 has been and gone, and of the many announcements, two grab my attention.
