We say...
Another winner from Knobula, building on the popular Poly Cinematic module with an even more powerful polyphonic engine and a dedicated monophonic mode thrown in. This is quite simply a mega-powerful synth voice in a compact and easy-to-control form factor - what's not to like?
Manufacturer's description
Monumatic is a fully polyphonic 8-voice synthesizer and a monophonic synthesizer packed into a compact 12HP Eurorack module. It features 16 selectable oscillator modes to provide a diverse range of both classic and futuristic tone generation using exclusively virtual analog algorithms.
These include; Roland super-saw, Polymoog vox humana, Casio phase distortion, Solina string synth, percussive drawbar organs , “noisy cassette” strings, pulse width modulation and some gnarly asymmetric sync oscillators, all modelled without samples and each one of these further adjustable in timbre using the Detune control. Each oscillator mode providing the foundation for further signal processing though the filter and effects sections.
6 powerful filter types are provided, including a vowel filter for vocal effects, a 24db/oct Butterworth low pass filter, a dual peak notch filter, a phase shifter, high pass and SVF low pass. Each filter can be overdriven by the drive setting.
Like its sibling module Poly Cinematic, Monumatic is designed to be simple to use yet versatile, offering minimal controls to access a wealth of sounds, avoiding the need to scroll through 1000s of complex presets.
Monumatic supports full analog control of every parameter, using two instantly assignable CV inputs as well as additional CV inputs for Gate, V/Oct and Filter cutoff, with additional digital control using comprehensive Midi CC and MPE implementation. An altogether unparalleled potential for expansion and integration into the eurorack universe.
As well as full MIDI capability, the 8 built-in chord presets can be custom programmed to provide polyphonic stabs and pads and using a single CV/Gate input. CV Gate arpeggios can be also layered polyphonically or “plucked” using long release times as Monumatic distributes extra voices where necessary. The mono/poly function allows the Monumatic to switch between a fully capable poly synth or a legato mono synth at the touch of a button.
In polyphonic mode Monumatic introduces an advanced micro-tuning system to modular synthesis, it can replicate the organic drift of vintage analog oscillators or it can apply realtime tuning temperaments to enhance harmonic authenticity using adaptive ‘just’ intonation, this parameter can even be assigned to CV control.

If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
