Instagram posts from Kivika Devices have grabbed our consideration, exhibiting a brand new sampler keyboard. We imagine it’s referred to as WoFi, and right here’s what we all know.
Kiviak Devices
Kiviak Devices is a French firm based by Romain Giannetti. It appears to have two instructions, one which specialises in Cloud Platform administration and one other that specialises in software program and {hardware} musical instrument design. Based on the web site, the primary {hardware} instrument was scheduled for the start of final 12 months, however I think about all the same old causes have delayed it till now. In actual fact, there have been quite a few posts about it on Instagram over the previous 12 months, however that is the primary time we’ve observed!
WoFi
WoFi has been described as a sampler that’s related to a simplified workflow that integrates with granular synthesis. It’s compact, transportable and appears fairly scrumptious. The interface is obvious, with a very good vary of knobs and controls and a pleasant huge show to indicate you what’s occurring. I additionally actually admire the picket cheeks.
From the Instagram posts, we will collect which you could pattern straight in through line enter or microphone. It’ll have traditional sampler emulations for that all-important sound. It’ll have a filter, envelope and LFO. One thing referred to as the Texturer will “Elevate your sound”. Taking part in might be through the keyboard, pads or sequencer and can have CV/Gate in addition to MIDI and USB. I’m fairly positive that’s a built-in speaker on the appropriate.
There are some attention-grabbing buttons within the center part which allude to that different wing of Kiviak Applied sciences. There’s a Wi-Fi button, a button labelled “Cart” and one other referred to as “Cloud”. I’d hazard a guess that that is going to be a really related keyboard. Maybe it is possible for you to to browse pattern libraries from the Cloud and buy them instantly from the keyboard. Good concept, and a big one when you don’t should go through a pc. There’s a point out of sharing your patches through the mywo.fi cloud platform or onto a really intriguing cartridge.
Based on one commentator on Sequencer.de the WoFi might be introduced on the Insane Pageant in August. That’s undoubtedly one to stay up for. However regardless, if we get any additional info, I’ll replace this text.
