"KIJIMI, a new 8-voice analogue synth by Black Corporation. Info, presentation and preorders start at Superbooth."

Black Corporation of course are the people behind Deckard's Dream, the Yamaha CS80 inspired polysynth. The KIJIMI will be RSF inspired - essentially a polyphonic Kobol with ssm2040-like filters, Kobol waveshapers, additional modulation sources and destinations, an additional HPF, 2nd LFO, extended envelopes, and polyAT. A prototype KIJIMI was spotted at NAMM this year.

Update: some additional info added above.

Note: Kijimi is based on the RSF Kobol mono synth. via the creator himself, Roman Filippov: "It’s a polyphonic kobol more than polykobol, since it uses ssm2040-like filters, not ssm2044"

Fun with a Kobol

Published on Dec 30, 2017 yusynthman

"Avant la venue du propriétaire du Kobol que j'ai remis en état j'ai fait un petit test que j'ai filmé. Voilà donc une petite vidéo montrant son Kobol en action, il est séquencé par un Q960 Synthesizers.com. Le son est capté par le microphone de la caméra donc ce n'est pas de très haute qualité et l'on peut parfois entendre ma respiration (Noise generator 100% bio !).
Un Kobol Expander Rack vient en second ajouter une couche à la séquence puis je m'amuse successivement avec le Waldorf MicroWave XT, le Manikin Memotron, le MatrixBrute d'Arturia, le CS15 de Yamaha, le Multiman S de Crumar et enfin la "Main Console" du Roland System 700 modular. Aucune prétention musicale dans tout ceci qui est totalement improvisé.
J'espère que ces 4 minutes vous distraieront.

I shot this video to test the Kobol synthesizer that I repaired for a friend. The Kobol is sequenced by a Q960 Synthesizers.com . The sound is recorded by the camera microphone therefore don't expect high quality... and sometimes one can hear me breathing (100% biological noise generator). As the sequence loops I have fun improvising with some of my synths : Waldorf MicroWave XT, Manikin Memotron, Arturia MatrixBrute, Yamaha CS15, lCrumar Multiman S and "Main Console" of the Roland System 700 modular"
