Knobula Pianophonic - Poly Wavetable Synth review by MATTHS for Sonic LAB

video upload by sonicstate

"Another polyphonic module from Knobula, who are making a habit of this sort of thing. Pianophonic is an 8 voice Wavetable multi-sample player with a unique mix of multisample front end (Hammer portion) and a wavetable sustain/release portion (Sides). These can be blended and controlled and mixed and matched from the 24bit/48kHz samples stored on the front panel mounted microSD card.

And yes you can created your own samples using their own Waveslicer utility.
There's also Unison and detune with three oscillators cloned per voice, compress/overdrive and a delightful Reverb.

@matthsmatthsmatths gives us his take on the unit.

Available now priced at £420/$449

Superbooth 2023: Knobula - Pianophonic

video upload by sonicstate

"We spoke to Jason from Knobula at Superbooth 2023, who showed us their new 8-voice polyphonic wavetable and sample playback synthesizer Pianophonic. Based on the concept of a piano with three strings and a hammer, the synthesizer offers piano-esque and other extended piano sounds. The piano sound is wavetable-based with 16 different slots and multi-sampled wavetables across the keyboard, from high sounds to low sounds, and 256 waves in each wavetable that you can morphed through. Pianophonic also features three oscillators, where two can be assigned to a different sound, and chord memory. It has MIDI, CV, and gate control options, making it versatile and suitable for various applications.

Pianophonic will be available in September. Price: around £350, €400, $440"

Knobula's new Pianophonic module generates interesting sounds from piano samples.

Pianophonic Module Extended Demo

video upload by knobula

"In this demo we morph from Grand Piano to doom drone and back, then into some house style piano chops. Along they way we incorporate pure Piano wavetables and real hammer samples later combined with synthesiser waveforms as a side layer as we demonstrate the "piano not a piano" and "synth like a piano" duality of Pianophonic. Audio is direct out from the module with a bit of compressor/limiter to prevent overloading Youtube."

Introducing the Pianophonic wavetable and sample module from Knobula

video upload by knobula

"Pianophonic is an 8 voice polyphonic wavetable synthesiser that takes its inspiration from the piano’s string and hammer mechanism mixed with a bit of 90s digital keyboard charm..

Featuring 3 wavetable oscillators and a single sample playback engine per voice, Pianophonic generates rich and complex evolving sounds as well as extraordinary hard hitting piano-like sounds. With simple direct controls for all the parameters that matter, no confusing menus and all squeezed into 12hp of concentrated eurorack module. Featuring midi to Gate Out, Gate In, V/Oct, Chord Select and Wavetable morph CV inputs. Its a fully featured versatile polyphonic oscillator module that can sit at the core of your eurorack system."
