KNIFONIUM synth released

[Azbest]

I have mixed feelings about this one. There's something funky about voice handling, with polyphony turned up to 8 it sometimes doesn't play all the notes in a chord, even if it's simple 4 note chords with gaps between them. The envelopes are also kinda ass. On the other hand, some of the presets sound really pretty, so I'll dig deeper.

So far Oberhausen is much better imo.

I would literally never find that bug. How often do you change sampling rate in a project?

Every now and again, but that’s not the crux of it - it’s slow at 44.1.
gets faster as you increase sampling rate, its not really responsive at 44.1 compared to other synths.

Also they refuse to acknowledge it. How well can it be modelled if it changes behaviour with sampling rate? How much is it really worth if they ignore bugs for months - even a year?
I’ve used alpha software more reliable than that

49$ right now... is it worth getting if you already own Diva, Vaccum Pro and other similar VSTs?

If you like those instruments, then Knifonium will absolutely make a great addition to your arsenal. It's a huge CPU hog but it sounds great.

Parameter (gui interaction and automation) response changes with sampling rate. Not sure about MIDI

Why is that a problem? It's interesting, maybe something to be aware of, but I don't see how it's a problem.

[Ploki]

It’s a bug they wont fix or acknowledge.

Idk what the problem is - oh maybe its a feature? I’ll start bugging Devs if he they can make parameter response different for different sampling rates

[E_Anderson]

It becomes a problem if you’re automating them in your DAW or tracking at 96k or something. What you play/automate won’t translate to other samplerates

[Tj Shredder]

If you want to render a demanding project for a higher quality? maybe?

[Ploki]

there's plenty of reasons to use different sampling rates.
And fact is, faster moves are simply impossible at 44.1/48k because the response is too slow compared to @2x and @4x

fwiw i changed a project from 44.1 to 48 two days ago

A bit off-topic, but is it okay to sell my Kinofonium plugin license? Didn't see listing on this before.

Yes, it's possible, but most of the plugins from Plugin Alliance don't have a great resale value... It's possible to buy Knifonium right new from PA for $29.99, so honestly, a good value for sell it would be between $15-$20 maximum.

I just got it after I realised you get another 20% off with that Summer Sale code, it was around 25€ in the end. It has a lovely and very gritty sound, I personally like it a lot (after only fiddling around an hour or so) and can recommend it for the current price.
The original price of 300 USD is honestly a bad joke lol but I doubt anyone would pay the full price anyways.

[tonymax]

whats the summer sale code?

thanks

+1
It has a great sound. I really like it a lot but it is a real cpu hog! It has a lovely character and it is usable with all kind of sounds (Bass, Lead, Pad and effects).

Has anyone tried these?
