OK I have demoed now...

I can get it for 99USD

I will still probably buy it when its 25 USD.

The first patch when you load it is kinda init, innit?

Edit: Nevermind what I wrote about TMT, I still had velocity modulation turned on on the filter envelope...

The YouTube video above shows where it is - it’s called default rather than initial.

The "Default" patch (which is loaded with a new instance) is located in "Synth Lead". I was a bit confused about that too...

There's a "Default" patch (search for it) which you can mark as "Favourite" to find it quickly.

Yes, and that (sometimes unpredictable) behaviour diffentiates it from "normal" vintage emulations.

Apart from the characteristic saturated tone, extensive use of the ring modulator is what imho differentiates this from most other (monosynth) analog emulations.

I heard the man in the Plugin Guru video call it "Ka-nifonium". I'm no pronunciation expert, but isn't it pronounced " Nifonium"? After all, I don't call a knife a "ka-nife", a knight a " ka-night", a knee a "ka-nee". I don't ka-now, I might be a bit of a ka-nucklehead but I am getting the ka-nack of it.

Yep I know, and previous builds even showed 16 voices, but they eventually settled for 8 for this final release.
Anyway, just a matter of preference, I generally tend to use monosynth emulations as monosynths even if they have polyphony in their software emulations

Same way I like to use a polysynth emulation with the same number of voices as the hardware, even if they allow for more voices in software form.

Anyone get the aftertouch to work? (in options)

Yorrrrrr · Post by **Yorrrrrr** » Tue Jul 07, 2020 2:27 pm

Can get it for $99 here, but I'm not hearing anything special in this. It's also monophonic (already set with RePro-1 and Legend, both amazing). What should I look for with this plugin? I'm not familiar with "tubes"...

It's 8x polyphonic. Open the upper panel, and check the Opt section.

How were they able to get the vacuum tubes into my computer? Via the installation manager?

the ring modulator

listen to the hardware demos, there's nasty ring modulation everywhere

I have Legend and Repro, but I really wouldn't use Knifonium the same way

KNIFONIUM synth released
