Product Description
The SuperKar+ is a revolutionary Eurorack voice module, bringing Karplus-Strong synthesis to your modular setup in an intuitive and captivating way. Capable of recreating the sound of plucked or bowed strings, struck or blown pipes, and a broad spectrum of percussive textures, it offers musicians unprecedented control over tone and expression. The module features two independent voices: a Solo Voice and a Chord Voice, each playable via control voltage, with the Solo Voice also supporting polyphonic MIDI control. Both voices can be independently timbre-selected and routed through separate outputs, making the SuperKar+ an extremely flexible sound design tool. With 32 voices of polyphony, responsive attack, decay, and damping controls, plus smart harmony and detune options, this module allows for lifelike realism and intricate musical arrangements. Compact yet powerful, the SuperKar+ delivers expansive stereo imaging, versatile output modes, and internal mixing, all within a 12HP form factor, making it a self-contained instrument that sparks creativity and exploration for modular synthesists of all levels.
Features
- Dual Independent Voices:
The Solo and Chord voices can operate independently, each with separate timbre, pitch, and level controls for maximum creative flexibility. - 32-Voice Polyphony:
Supports up to 16 simultaneous voices per channel, enabling rich, complex arrangements with polyphonic MIDI control and stable tuning across multiple octaves. - Responsive Karplus-Strong Synthesis:
Attack, decay and damping controls allow subtle to dramatic timbral variations, producing lifelike string, pipe, or percussive sounds.
Expressive Sound Design:
SuperKar+ provides a deeply interactive synthesis experience. With attack shaping that creates plucked or bowed tones, damping for bright or muted textures, and decay for controlled resonance, every note responds naturally to your input. Randomised per-note detuning on the Solo Voice adds realism, while harmony and scale options allow for intelligent chordal structures. This flexibility allows musicians to explore from intricate melodic lines to expansive harmonic arrangements with ease.
Flexible Polyphony and Harmony:
The Solo Voice supports polyphonic MIDI control with up to 16 voices, while the Chord Voice generates smart harmonies and basslines. Doubling, octaves, and scale-based harmonies create lush textures. Harmony CV input can even vary the number of extensions dynamically, offering complex movement and tremolo-like effects, all in real time.
Versatile Outputs and Routing:
SuperKar+ offers multiple stereo and mono output configurations. Wide and narrow stereo modes create expansive spatial effects, while split outputs allow independent processing of Solo and Chord voices. Mono sum mode provides a consistent mixed signal, making this module adaptable to a range of studio and live environments without additional mixing hardware.
