Looks like this will fill a specific niche quite well. The closest alternative I can think of is the poly wavetable synth mode on the Disting EX. That seems to have a lot more flexibility and CV control, but requires a lot of menu diving and you need an expander for MIDI in. This looks much more immediate, and should play well with the Hermod.
@@andreassteiner2275 I only wear black clothes, i love black and white line art, and my favorite song at the age of 5 was "paint it black" by the rolling stones. I know monochromatic a really solid vibe. But somehow it does not bother me so much in eurorack to have a bunch of contrasting panel designs.
I see they have a space on the front for an "audio/CV mod input’ jack - and for another little pot next to the ‘reverb’ to add a ‘mix’ knob, and with clever use of the ‘shift’ and ‘trigger’ buttons to allow added ‘mode’ states for how the module deals with the (non-existent) audio/CV mod input, this could really expand the utility of the module just with firmware upgrades moving forward either via the midi jack, or some sort of usb header on the back of the module……

I've been interested in your channel since the o coast ..can you do a tour of your rack systems with a module flyby?thanks for reviewing and teaching modular synthesis !
I'll see what I can do but it's rarely the same or all working at the same time :D Come along and ask at one of my live streams is probably your best bet.
I have a Blokas Midihub and I’m wondering if the parameters of the synth can be modulated via midi, it would be trivial to setup some LFOs and randomization functions with the Midihub processing and I think it would really make this synth come alive.
I’ve ordered one and they are surprisingly inexpensive, $400 Us, this will be my first eurorack set up and I’m starting with this, a swarm 411 and Behringer brain, then I’ll build around that. I got a cr8 bundle and a happy ending rack so there should be enough room for a good start. I will have to rely on my Crave, K and Nuetron for mixers an the such but I’ll make it work! I have all of the Dreadbox semi modular FX and a whole lot more! How do you think that will sound, and any suggestions? Oh yeah, it’s being playe on an Aturia key step pro and a deepmind 12.
Sad to see a lack of CV control, but it sounds really, REALLY nice :) All modules should be CV per function, like synths are 'knob per function'. Glad u got this out for us to see :)
@@MoltenMusicTech It does have a filter frequency CV adjustment input I can see? That would be one of the main parameters that you would want CV control over. Sounds fantastic
Are there advantages of the Knobula over the good old Streichfett? Other than Eurorack format? - just re-watched the vid and remembered the cv chord function.
Very keen on this module! Do you think this is a harbinger of more eurorack polyphonic modules with midi cable input control? I like the multisample on the Disting EX but it sometimes struggles. Love your channel by the way.
8 voises... good lord! i already put myself on the list last week. i count the seconds.its exactly what i needed. when you think this gonna be realeased?? i hope the behringer solina is gonna come out soon as well and my eurorack is completed!!
FINALLY!! So glad someone finally brought polyphony to eurorack!!
It's a great thing - i hope to get my hands on one once they're ready
Yes, there goes my paychecks!
Do you sell crack out your back door too? Lol
Its like a Streichfett in eurorack, absolutely delightful
I need this in my life.

I'm really liking the music you're making with the Poly Cinematic. This demo really sold me on it. Knobula should be sending you a commission check!
For a moment, I thought I was listening to Terry Riley's "A Rainbow in Curved Air".
I love the clarity of the layout. Modular design continues to evolve!.
@@andreassteiner2275 not everything needs to be grey or black, but a desaturated color scheme would undoubtedly be appreciated as an alternative.
I love the colours

These will fly off the shelves I bet.
and the money will fly out of my pocket..

Did you know Supercritical - Demon Core Oscillator and the expander?
No, I don't

I am foaming up. I have wanted this since (Eurorack) time began.
Such a great demo. Thank you!!

Welp this is going on the wish list- also can I ask what size and where you got the knobs for your Castor & Pollux?
They were from Thonk.co.uk the caps for trim knobs
This might be a replacement for my QuBit chord Ver 1.0 which is a big beast and takes up a lot of valuable real estate in my case🤔

That would make it a huge synth and something that this isn't intended to be.

It does - sorry the focus was just a little off
Goddammit it sounds effing GREAT !
Thanks Molten for making me buy another module that I guess I need lol..
sounds amazing would love to get this module for my setups. I have the Acid Lab Chainsaw that is ok but not as great as this.

It would be great if there was an electric piano in a module
Yes there would and I meant to suggest that in the video.
How do you control it through midi in with the Arturia which only has CV out?
I think you’ll find the Arturia Keystep is a midi controller
Very keen on this module! Do you think this is a harbinger of more eurorack polyphonic modules with midi cable input control? I like the multisample on the Disting EX but it sometimes struggles. Love your channel by the way.
Thanks! Yes, maybe. It feels a bit rebellious using midi so precociously in Eurorack so it just needs some thought and a light touch.
Molten Music Technology would like to have this coupled w/ Ornament & Crime 1200
I also own an expanded DEMON CORE OSC. also POLI it is :) massive sound on it !!
Great one....
Hope they pay the postage for you to send it back
oh finally !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does it have in Chord Mode, a volatile memory when you shut down it?
no, the chords remain
How do you like the rebel technologies Stoicheia?
It's useful - i've not done anything deliberate with it yet

Wow that sine wave sound gives me old Squarepusher vibes. Nice.
Well this is on my list now which will necessitate a new case…my wife is gonna kill me
Profunda melodia
Too bad its digital
An analogue 8 voice polysynth would require a multi-row rack all to itself
@@MoltenMusicTech Supercritical Synthesizers has a 16 voice Poly Oscillator and Expander in 20hp
@@ScottofOakland Yes indeed they do although there's no polyphonic articulation going on
