Die Klangerzeugung von Argon8 basiert auf auf vier Oszillatoren pro Stimme, die mit 120 Wavetables, die eine große stilistische Bandbreite von Klängen abdecken, arbeiten. Phase Modulation, Ring Modulation, Amp Modulation und verschiedene Sync-Varianten sind verfügbar; das Filter arbeitet mit 12 dB Absenkung pro Oktave und es gibt eine flexible Modulationsmatrix. Eine Editor-Software wird auch bereitgestellt.
