#knifonium

Yup, a funky name for a track that sounds like some of those in-between moments at work. One of those tunes that started as an experiment, specifically using a softsynth called “Knifonium” by Plugin Alliance [The original hardware unit can be seen HERE – and costs considerably more than I could afford!] But about the music itself…… from TomsTypewriter.com

Exceptional synth under an exceptional pussy cat

We at CatSynth agree on both counts! Jackie is quite regal posing on the synth. And I had never heard of the Knifonium before, but upon visiting the website it sounds quite unique.

Knifonium is a 26 tube monophonic synthesizer with two oscillators, a 4th order ladder filter and a ring modulator.

Here is a demo of the Knifonium in action.

Behold the Knifonium, a new all-tube analog synth by Jonte Knif of Espoo, Finland. It will set you back €9,000 if you can snag one of the four (out of six) slated for production that hasn't been spoken for yet. It sounds like this:

This is the first dirty demo of my Knifonium tube synth. Dry, directly to line, unprocessed. Ignore the "music" enjoy sounds.

I have written about the project on

http://www.groupdiy.com/index.php?topic=49282.0

And my pro stuff can be looked at

Due to the interest I have decided to produce a series of 6 instruments in 2013. Some are still left, but probably not for many weeks.
