Kiviak Instruments WoFi Polyphonic Sampler Keyboard Synthesizer - Ex Demo

Full Description

Transform samples with innovative sound design

At the heart of the WoFi lies the Texturer engine, an innovative feature that blends shimmer and granular synthesis to turn any sound into a rich, dynamic layer. This combination opens up endless possibilities for creating unique textures and atmospheres. Perfect for reimagining recorded samples or creating new ones from scratch, the WoFi gives you the tools to push your sound in new directions.

The built-in recorder, equipped with a line-in and microphone, ensures you can capture sounds on the fly. From environmental recordings to instruments, you can immediately transform these inputs into creative starting points using the onboard DSP effects.

Create music anywhere

The WoFi is designed for portability, with a lightweight build and rechargeable battery offering up to four hours of use. It’s perfect for those who want to create music wherever inspiration strikes, whether at home, in a studio, or on the move. The built-in speaker and headphone output provide flexible listening options, making it equally suited to impromptu jam sessions and private sound design.

Full MIDI and CV/Gate compatibility, along with line inputs and outputs, ensure the WoFi integrates seamlessly into any setup. The wide range of connection options allows you to connect the WoFi to modular gear, external controllers or DAWs - ready to adapt to your creative workflow.

Craft intricate patterns with ease

The 16-step polyphonic sequencer is a standout feature of the WoFi, offering multiple modes for creative expression. Compose Mode lets you craft sequences note by note, while Revisions Mode allows you to capture variations and quickly compare ideas. Cue Points provide a convenient way to navigate through samples and sequences in real time, making live performance and experimentation effortless.

The sequencer isn’t just for notes—it can also control parameters, giving you deep control over modulation and movement within your patterns. Whether you’re jamming, tweaking, or arranging, the sequencer adds another layer of creative potential.

Achieve precision and flexibility in sound design

The WoFi’s sound-shaping tools put you in complete control. Use the Envelope to define the dynamics of your sounds, applying it to the amplifier, filter, or both. The digital low-pass Filter provides subtractive synthesis capabilities, offering two slopes (12dB and 24dB) for precise tonal adjustments. Add movement with the LFO, which includes three wave shapes and can modulate any front-panel parameter.

The assignable touch stripe adds a layer of expressive performance, letting you adjust pitch, modulation, and other parameters in real-time. Combined with the built-in display, which gives clear feedback on all your adjustments, the WoFi ensures an intuitive and streamlined workflow.

Seamless sharing and collaboration

The WoFi’s Manager makes sample organisation and access straightforward, while its integration with the free mywo.fi platform opens up exciting possibilities. Share patches and samples with other users or explore a growing library of community-created sounds—all without a subscription. USB connectivity allows for quick file management, ensuring your projects are always accessible and ready for collaboration. If you’re working on a solo project or collaborating with others, the WoFi provides the tools and flexibility to share your creativity effortlessly.
