Give Me 7 Minutes - Unbelievable LoFi Track From Scratch with The Kiviak Wofi Sampler

video upload by SYNTH SAMURAI

"⁠The Kiviak Instruments WoFI is a portable Sampler keyboard that connects to the internet via WiFi, and features an innovative effect module called Texturer that combines elements of shimmer and granular synthesis to create unique and fascinating sounds. Its compact size and intuitive interface make it an ideal tool for musicians and producers who are always on the move. In addition, WoFI comes with a rechargeable battery, allowing you to create music anywhere you go without worrying about power. You can also share your patches and access sound banks from other sound designers through the mywo.fi community platform. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, WoFI offers endless possibilities for exploring new sonic territories and creating unique sounds."

"PLAYER

The Player let you color your sound with our emulations of classic samplers and their different sample player modes. Make it clean, dirty or anywhere in between.

ENVELOPPE

Sculpt your sound with the Enveloppe that can be assigned to WoFi's amp, filter or even both.

MANAGER

With the Manager and its display, get a visual feedback on all your tweakings, manage your sample library, access to mywo.fi content through WiFi and play with the touch strip. Oh, and there is no subscription needed for mywo.fi. Having WoFi gives you free access to community.

FILTER

The Filter let you play the WoFi like classic subtractive synthesizers. It's a digital low-pass filter with two different slopes (12dB and 24dB) and a tasty resonance.

TEXTURER

The Texturer is here to bring you to unexplored sonic territories. Elevate your sound with this effect halfway between a shimmer FX and granular synthesis.

LFO

The LFO let you modulate your creation. With three different wave shapes, assign it to any parameter of the front panel and give motion to the sound.

SEQUENCER

The Sequencer let you build melodic patterns with the 16 polyphonic steps. It can be used as an arpeggiator. You can have your two hands free to play along the sequence and tweak your sound while it is looping. Oh, and you can also step sequence parameters, which makes it another modulation source in addition of the LFO and the Enveloppe.

RECORDER

The Recorder let you either capture a sample from the line in or directly from the built-in microphone. It's easy as a pie, pick your audio source with the switch, click on record and voilà. Just like with the iconic first keyboard samplers.

MASTER

The Wofi is made to be played in many contexts, from your couch to the studio, so it has a full connectivity and two stereo audio outputs : one for your headphones and one for a master line-out and the WoFi internal speaker. Set your volumes easily.
