OXI Instruments’ grid sequencer is about to get a big MKII upgrade

OXI ONE MKII is inbound, with preorders about to start. OXI Instruments is taking their packed grid sequencer and adding more of everything, while keeping the compact size. (Missed opportunity not to call this the “one two,” though!)

Knobula Monumatic module at angle and front-on view, with mode selectors for oscillator, filter controls, envelope controls, and CV and MIDI (MPE) inputs.

Knobula Monumatic, the 8-voice, multi-algorithm MPE polysynth in 12HP

Who says modular has to be all about monosynths? Certainly not Knobula, who followed up their Poly Cinematic with this 8-voice polysynth in just 12HP, packed with multiple oscillator and filter modes, built-in reverb, and full MPE support.

Intellijel Multigrain, a stereo morphing granular sampler module

It’s about time for a new granular dream module, and the Intellijel Multigrain could be a real contender. Available now, it packs stereo morphing granular powers into 20HP and US$479. (And yes, USA, you can import this from Canada!) I’ve had an advance look at the manual and I’m ready to wrap my granular brain around this one.
