8 voice piano-timbred poly wavetable voice module
Knobula Pianophonic
Pianophonic is not a classic wavetable oscillator for Eurorack. According to the developer, it is a 12HP wavetable synth voice that takes inspiration from the hammer and string action of the piano.
The core (24-bit / 48 kHz) consists of three wavetable oscillators and a sample-based playback engine for each of its eight voices. Pianophonic mimics the characteristics of the three-string piano sound, using a range of professionally sampled wavetables and hammer samples.
There are 16 banks of preset sounds with the included SD card with stretching, morphing, and reverse functionalities. Plus, you can route it through the onboard module’s filter, envelope generator, compressor, and reverb, giving tons of different Piano-flavored timbres.
Knob Per Function
The module has a large feature set but has a knob per function feature set allowing you to tweak the parameters on the fly. Then, it also has MIDI connectivity, gate I/O, chord select, and volt per octave inputs. This makes it compatible with any Eurorack system, either compact or large.
Knobula ships the module with an SD card featuring many key-mapped wavetables derived from a wide variety of instruments including four types of acoustic piano, electric piano, guitars, tuned percussion, several classic synthesizers as well as other useful sets of harmonic waveforms. You can also upload own sounds via Knobula’s online Waveslicer tool. Thus, you can also create your own custom sounds for Pianophonic.
Several sounds will be included on the SD card that ships with every module. Each sound can be modulated and manipulated with Pianophonic’s onboard controls for almost limitless possibilities. These sonic varieties include an eclectic mixture of acoustic pianos, guitars, and vintage synths.
