Description: Knif Audio Knifonium is a tube synthesizer sound with incredible capabilities.
Capture the tone of an exclusive synthesizer equipped with 26 vacuum tubes.
Knifonium is an exceptionally beautiful-sounding analog synthesizer powered by 26 vacuum tubes. This high-end synth features dual tube oscillators, a 4th order ladder filter, a ring modulator, and a gorgeous steampunk aesthetic.
One of the rarest synthesizers produced today.
The original hardware units are handcrafted in small batches by high-end audio designer Jonte Knief with his unparalleled attention to detail. As beautiful as these synths are, the Knifonium is much more than just a stunning eye candy capable of making “weird noises.” It is an exceptionally musical and inspiring instrument with a wealth of possibilities for shaping and modulating its sound. Fewer than two dozen of them were ever made.
Even more powerful than the original
The plugin version of Knifonium is not only more accessible and easier to use than the original, but also includes features not available in the analog world. This Knifonium emulation plugin adds 8 independent voices to the synthesizer, opening up a new universe of possibilities. Imagine the atmospheric pad sound created by 208 vacuum tubes! It also includes mid and stereo expansion capabilities, a unison mode for even richer sounds than the original, and a carefully selected BX effects section, including a vintage-style phaser, SPL EQ Ranger, Waveshaper and more, giving you a wide range of the range of effects you’ll actually want to use.
Tested and approved by Jonte Knief himself.
Lead designer Jonte Knife has been creating vacuum tube-based gear for mixing, mastering and sound design for many years, receiving critical acclaim for both his tube and solid-state designs. His Kniphonium has been carefully designed to be the best in its class. Brainworx engineers simulated the complete circuits of the original hardware, including all 26 tubes, using their patented tolerance modeling technology to recreate the natural variations of envelope parameters, pitch, LFO speed and more to make this game sound as realistically analog as possible. Jonte confirms that the plugin sounds and behaves just like the real thing. According to him, “it’s like nothing else.”
