I've been looking for something like OXI Coral for some time. It's bewildering to me that there aren't more modules (or desktop devices) that:
1. Are polyphonic over MIDI (or i2c)
2. Have a bunch of CV inputs for modulation
3. Have controls like a module, not a microvave
4. Fit in an Intellijel Palette
Anyway- more thoughts on this guy after I've gotten to use it a bit more. For now, I'll just leave you with one tip: buy it direct from OXI and save over $100 over retail.
Patch notes:
First session with a few modules:
- OXI Coral: Oscillator
- XAOC Katowice: variable band isolator
- XOAC Minsk: stereo image processor
- ALM Pamela's Pro Workout: multifunction clock/modulation source
I used the string algo on Coral, ran it through Katowice with some automation to bring in the low/high bands, had Beads doing some pitched-up grains, and ran it all through Minsk with some modulation to the stereo image.
Not a particularly great demonstration of the poly-capabilities of the module but I'm not here to give demos.
One thing I was confused by is the envelope re-triggering behavior of Coral (maybe just the string voice) which you can hear at the end of the recording. I was playing a strummed chord first, then laying a sequence atop that. The chord would have a soft attack and the sequence would be a plucky, almost banjo-like sound. Kinda cool because it sounds almost like two distinct parts (something else Coral can do that I have yet to try).
I finally figured out that the plucky sound happens when retriggering a voice that has not completed its envelope. I know some envelopes have "digital" vs. "analog" retrigger behavior but I'm not sure exactly what is going on here.
