However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Modal Cobalt 5S is a five-voice extended Virtual Analog Synthesizer that allows you to explore traditional and vintage synthesizer tones as well as create contemporary, out-of-this-world modern sounds. Built using the next-generation COBALT synth architecture, the Cobalt 5S is an extremely portable and powerful machine that boasts premium audio fidelity, expansive connectivity and functionality as well as comprehensive control over your sounds. Housed in an ultra-portable, small-footprint design, the Cobalt 5S is a 37-key synth with aftertouch and USB power to be used both in stand-alone or in an existing setup, letting you ready up and create wherever inspiration strikes.
The perfect blend of modern innovation with vintage sensibilities, the Cobalt 5S takes inspiration from the iconic sound of vintage analog synths while removing any limitations of the analog world through digital advancements. Boasting an incredible 40 oscillator engines that can be used with up to eight per voice, the Cobalt 5S lets you craft anything from sultry basslines to expansive and futuristic pads in ultra-high fidelity. An all-new four-pole ladder filter allows you to shape and sculpt your sound or take it in an entirely new direction that you didn't think was possible. There is nothing quite like it.
Built-in MPE support, 16 smooth rotary switch encoders and a unique X/Y/Z touchpad let you supercharge your performance. Everything from parameter editing to modulation assignment and mod-wheel performance is all available with tactile motion at your fingertips. Should you want to explore your sounds even further, the free MODALapp allows you to edit on a desktop or mobile device as well as save patches and manage your presets on the go. The Cobalt 5S offers a wide range of features, sounds and usability that will satisfy everyone from beginner sound designers to expert live performers.
Product Ref: 196895
Centrered around a newly designed, next-generation architecture, the Cobalt 5S can perform up to five true polyphonic voices, with two independent algorithm groups and up to eight oscillators per voice. With all of this power, musicians, sound designers and more have a tremendous palette of tonal variety to craft any sound imaginable. In conjunction with the 40 highly detailed oscillator models that include Sync, Ring Mod, Waveform Morphing, you can let your creativity run wild to create the sounds you've always dreamt of.
Similar to the rest of the Cobalt line-up of synthesizers, the Cobalt 5S features the same self-oscillating 4-pole Morphable Ladder Filter from the Cobalt 8. Exponentially more powerful than a traditional filter, the Cobalt 5S 4-pole feature includes four different modes that can all be manipulated with the typical Cutoff and Resonance controls as well as the experimental Morph parameter, letting you adjust the filter in a musical and immersive way. Whether you're looking to subtly adjust the tone of a track or transform your instrument to something completely new, the Cobalt 5S can deliver. The only limit is your imagination!
Everything you demand to craft the perfect sound in meticulous detail is right at your fingertips with COBALT5S. Three envelopes complete with selectable types take command of the filter, amp or modulation destinations, empowering you with unrestricted options when it comes to fine-tuning your sound. One Polyphonic LFO and one Global LFO provide extended power to control a plethora of modulation sources, selected via a sophisticated 8-slot modulation matrix. Whether it’s an otherworldly evolving soundscape, rhythmic pads or a searing lead, realising your creative vision has never been this easy!
Take your performance to the next level with the Modal Cobalt 5S. The integrated 512-note real-time/step sequencer lets you experiment with arrangements and compositions that wouldn't be possible with traditional sequencers. This sequencer features four animation lanes, letting you deep dive in control to customise each groove exactly the way you need for your music. Paired with the built-in programmable 32-step advanced arpeggiator and you will unlock a world of creative, rhythmic and experimental textures and patterns to transform monotonous single-line melodies into exciting and otherworldly soundscapes.
It's not just the performance features that let you level up your performances as the Modal Cobalt 5S is compatible with advanced MPE controllers and instruments, letting you add natural fluidity and expression into your performances.
Not just a marketing tag, Beyond Analog Anywhere is strictly adhered to with the Cobalt 5S. The USB connection eliminates the need for any power supply source, instead simply plug your Cobalt 5S into your Mac, PC or portable power brick and create stunning sounds on the go.
The Cobalt 5S boasts a wide range of flexibility and in-depth control that ensures every adjustment to a parameter that you need to make will be available right in front of you. The Cobalt 5S features 16 switched encoders and a proprietary X/Y/Z touchpad to give you tactile editing at your fingertips. Going above and beyond the typical joystick X/Y-style pads, the proprietary X/Y/Z touchpad gives you 5-axis control over pitch bend, modulation wheel or any other user-assigned modulation. In combination with MPE supported format, the Cobalt 5S presents an opportunity for live sound designers to expressively perform like never before, adding smooth dynamics and movement to your sound. Of course, everything is monitored through the radiant monochrome OLED display to highlight all the key information you are controlling in razor-sharp resolution.
Capable of working both stand-alone or integrated into part of an existing setup, the Cobalt 5S has a slew of connectivity options to make this a seamless transition. Whether you need to connect directly to a PA, mixing console or audio interface via 1/4-inch jack, connect to your computer via USB MIDI, or integrate into existing setups with MIDI in and out, the Cobalt 5S makes this integration as simple as could be.
Free to download for all Cobalt 5S users, the MODALapp brings the comfort of screen-based editing to your computer or mobile device. Available for every major device type, the MODALapp is available for Mac, Windows, iOS, iPadOS and Android systems meaning no matter what device you have, you will still be able to enjoy deep parameter editing. With the free MODALapp, you can craft sounds from start to finish, deep-diving into each and every parameter to open a new set of options that aren't available on the device and when finished, you can save the patches in your library for instant recall whenever you need.
