Poly Cinematic by Knobula - Review

[@anthonypocetti]

Your intro graphic and music already convinced me. Subbed…

[@davidsimons5944]

Instant deep house track as soon as it started playing!

[@pierreprinzbach4870]

Amazing! Never thought about using it that way. One more reason to get one!

[@couchcamperTM]

that intro jam .. yes^^

[@ummagumma33]

so good

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

I've just subscribed...........................can still hear Bach in this!!! Very interesting manipulation of chromaticism, but still Bach based.

[@Dr-Stu]

Any particular effect unit you used for your ident logo music to get the 70's sound or is it various effects coupled with sampled tape noise?

[@Digiphex]

That intro is an actual 1980's VHS video intro to Signals and Systems class video tapes.

[@Dr-Stu]

@@Digiphex No way! I was impressed with how authentic it sounded....because it is authentic, I see. 😂

[@seanseanseanseansean]

I like to plug stuff into other stuff. Hey, what powers these individual modules?

[@Digiphex]

The case has rows of Eurorack standard sockets inside.

[@eidenspilker8628]

Great demo! What's giving it the lofi vibe at 4:30?

[@Digiphex]

Happy Nerding FX Aid, with the downloaded algorithm that is supposed to be like the Zvex Instant Lofi pedal. Sounds almost like it as well.

[@yongamusic]

Does the Knobula only play chords or can eight individual (separately timed) notes be played via Midi?

[@Digiphex]

I played some individual notes at 8:23 in there, yes it does and you can LFO the pitch and get a nice smear like Lone does in Emerald Fantasy Tracks.

[@yongamusic]

@@Digiphex Great, I must have overlooked that part.

[@kelleybates6682]

What's the module on the right side of the fx aid? Love the design.

[@kelleybates6682]

Ah. Endorphines Cockpit 2 if anyone's wondering.

[@Digiphex]

It's Cockpit 2, an 8 channel mixer or 4 stereo channels. Where you see the blue light, it is doing side chain compression, making the kick signal reduce the volume of other things for a pumping effect.

[@timothydahlin5321]

When are you going to integrate Dave Rossum's Assimil8or ?

[@Digiphex]

I have the Bitbox Micro which squarely fulfills the same functions so I probably won't get the Assimil8or. Big ups to Dave Rossum though, what an icon.

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Cool, now we can make Detroit techno with Eurorack 😀

[@Digiphex]

It’s all I know how to make!

[@kostantinosmag2986]

nice one....

[@markbooth]

How are you achieving your sidechain in this patch. Need me an FX Aid I think!

[@Digiphex]

Endorphin Cockpit.

[@markbooth]

@@Digiphex ah makes sense. Thanks! Looking at one myself as relying on Ableton still for mine

[@MUNRO13]

I’d say a variable bandwidth filter would have been a more useful addition. Most people have a bunch of variable state filters to stick an envelope into if you want that kind of sound. A tiny bit unconvinced by the sound. Thanks for the vid anyway.
