"In this session is shown some variations using the PAD's compose mode.

Advanced usage of the sequencer is shown there:
1:11 Tune the pitch of one or several steps
1:23 Tune reference note
1:30 Set start an stop step in the sequence
1:37 Use compose mode to set new sequences
2:16 Change the ref not causes the UM to stumble in its monophony...

Outside the box... in a box // Nice Ideas from the Kiviak WoFi


video upload by Starsky Carr

"Wo-Fi as in Lo-Fi - its got WiFi and it's Low Fi ... it's the Wo-Fi from Kiviak Instruments. It's a sampler giving us vintage 80s and 90s tones that sits in the modern studio with CV, MIDI, USB and yes... wifi

With emulations inspired by Akai S950, Emu SP-1200, Casio SK-1 and Yamaha VSS-30 you've got a whole load of vintage vibes at your fingertips.

In this demo I've explored it using drum loops which took me in a completely different direction than most demos I've heard. I thought they'd be an easier way to demonstrate the effect of the different 'machines' on the sound - and they really do sound great. Possibly another direction for future development to investigate expanding."

WoFi Sampling Synthesizer | If the Emulator II and Casio SK-1 had a child, in 2024


video upload by Espen Kraft

"What if the the Emulator II and the Casio SK-1 had a child in 2024. The sound and editing capabilities of the EII, with the size and easy access of the SK-1. This is what the WoFi seems to be. To me.

Every single sound in the track "Wait" was sampled into the WoFi and then multi tracked. No MIDI was used. Everything was recorded by hand. Even the drums. It's all coming out of the WoFi.

The song is called "Wait". Find the track it here:"

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Kiviak - WoFi


video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Sonic State had the chance to chat with Thibault from Kiviak Instruments about their newly released *WoFi*. This cute sampler is a modern take on old keyboards from the 80s, offering a compact form factor with a range of modern features. The *WoFi *is battery-powered, equipped with a microphone for sound sampling, and a speaker for standalone use. However, its extensive connectivity options, including audio input/output, MIDI, CV/Gate, synchronization, and USB, make it a versatile tool for music production.

WoFi's interface allows for easy sound manipulation, with emulations of different machines for unique tonal qualities. Users can experiment with pitch, time stretch, and effects to create dynamic sounds. The machine also features a sequencer for note and parameter sequencing, as well as a compose mode for generating sequences on the fly. Additionally, the WoFi's built-in Wi-Fi chipset enables seamless backup, sharing, and firmware updates through the MyWofi platform."
