Noodling with the Poly Cinematic by Knobula - Random Desk Synth Patches!

Описание: This video is long so I dropped in some time stamps to help guide you a bit. Overall, this is just my approach on how I get to know my modules better. I usually do this exploration in a small case like a 104hp or 62hp palette case, so I can focus on specific modules.

The Poly Cinematic by Knobula is basically a compact synthesizer! It’s an 8 voice polyphonic synth that's super diverse! It's loaded with super saws per voice, detuning options and 3 different wave shapes and modes. As you'll see in the video all the controls are easily accessible and quick to dial in. I am using the Cosmix as my mixer. This mixer is pretty easy to use because of the faders and mute capabilities. Next, I have the Disting EX. I am using a percussion folder of samples that I loaded on it mainly for hats and claps sounds. One output channel on the Disting EX is patched through the MMF filter by WMD to add a performative way to bring the percussion in and out during the jams. For the kick I have the Bass Drum by Mosaic 1u, which is a super punchy 1u module! I also am using their Variable Delay as well just to add a fun effect on the clap/snare like sound in various parts of the jam session. For sequencing I am using one of my favorite sequencers, the Vector by Five12. This sequencer is very quick to get into and with its chord sequencing options I can really take advantage of all the voices on the Poly Cinematic!
