Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
COBALT5S is a five-voice extended virtual analog synthesizer in a compact 37-note format with aftertouch. USB-bus power lets it run from a Mac, PC, or portable power brick; a 9 VDC, 1.5A center-positive option is also specified. Its engine offers two independent algorithm groups, up to eight oscillators per voice, 40 algorithms, morphable filtering, modulation, and separate stereo delay and chorus engines. Physical controls, an X/Y/Z touchpad, and an OLED display keep hands-on programming central.

- Mobile synth sessions powered from a computer or portable power brick.
- Keyboard setups needing MIDI I/O, MIDI over USB, and clock sync connections.
