Kiviak Instruments WoFI

video upload by Luca Longobardi

"I’m starting to get familiar with the WoFi by Kiviak Instruments and the first thing that really sparked my creativity is the combination of the playback modes with a specific sequencer function called Cue Points mode.
In practice, you can define split points or slices within a recorded sample and trigger those sections directly from the sequencer pads. This gives you up to 16 distinct segments that you can access and play instantly. The result is extremely is a very inspiring workflow."

KIVIAK WoFi - "Fierceful Sequential Machines"

video upload by Alba Ecstasy

"Hi! The team from KIVIAK Instruments sent me the WoFi right before the Christmas.
And since then, there hasn't been a day that I haven't played the WoFi!

I’m not mastering it at it’s very best, yet! - but this sampler has a HUGE POTENTIAL!

From the very first day I sampled my voice, my kids' singing, my synths, ambiental noises and anything you can think of!

Diving into the samples with the Waveform Viewer, using the Touch Stripe or the Texturer’s buttons, to create new interesting sounds and modulate them with the LFO, to obtain either an industrial, harsh sounds or a sound with vintage lo-fi vibe.

Here’s a sample from my Sequential PRO 3, using it to create a Berlin School sequence on my own style with a vintage vibe, and playing over it - by using the SOLO function - a plucky/organ lead, both the sequence and the lead using the same sample.

I’m passing through the sampling MACHINES and the Playback Modes and tweaking some functions.

I added some delay and reverb, and during the playing (made in post processing) I’m bypassing them for a raw sound."

More to come, next days!

WoFi Jam 09 – Live Looping with Guitar & WoFi FX (by Ilian)

video upload by Kiviak Instruments

"Ilian picks up where he left off, turning the WoFi into a live looping station once again. Direct guitar input, sliced and rendered through the WoFi’s internal tools. He plays with sequences, sound layering, and FX tweaking in real time.

This one’s all about feel, gesture, and reactivity — showing how the WoFi can reshape even the most familiar sounds into something new."

WoFi Jam 08 – Guitar Textures & Live Tweaks (by Ilian)

video upload by Kiviak Instruments

"In this jam, Ilian plugs his guitar straight into the WoFi and explores long release envelopes, subtle textures, and evolving layers.
No synths — just six strings, a bit of dirt, and the WoFi’s raw sampling power.

More than a sampler, here the WoFi becomes a live looper, a sound design playground, and an ambient companion.
Minimal setup, maximum vibe."

Jam session 07: Compose mode

video upload by Kiviak Instruments

"In this session is shown some variations using the PAD's compose mode.
The Nord micro modular is driven by the WoFi, and fed in the input line.
Mixing cue points, note changes, solo notes and sequence leads the Nord UM to its limits, while the WoFis adds grain and controls sequence.

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...
2:38 Play a step outside the sequence
2:48 Holding down a PADs force the step to loop
4:43 Solo mode activated
4:54 Add secondary rythm using the drum thanks to solo mode
5:02 Lock the new rythm
5:26 Unlock all locked notes"

Jam session 06: drones and drums

video upload by Kiviak Instruments

"A short session using Line In Render feature of the WoFi:
The line input is fed by the Nord micromodular, and is used as base layer of the audio engine, being affected by the texturer.
The sample of ths WoFi's patch is a drum loop."

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:"
