Kiviak Instruments WoFI Portable Sampler Keyboard with WiFi

Manipulate and mangle samples with the Kiviak Instruments WoFI, a compact sampler keyboard with built-in internet (Wi-Fi) capabilities well suited for musicians and producers who are on the go. The instrument features a 25-note keyboard, a 16-step sequencer, and a remarkable and innovative effect module called Texturer, which combines elements of shimmer effects with granular synthesis to create unbelievable and inspiring sounds.

WoFI comes with a rechargeable battery provides up to 4 hours of playtime, allowing you to create music anywhere you go without worrying about power. You can also share your patches and access sound banks from other sound designers through the mywo.fi community platform. Record via the stereo 1/4" inputs or use the built-in microphone. There are independent main and headphone output level controls. Explore new sonic territories and endless possibilities with WoFI.

Instrument Overview

PLAYER

• The Player lets you color your sound with emulations of classic samplers and different sample player modes. Make it clean, dirty, or anywhere in between.

ENVELOPE

• Sculpt your sound with the Envelope that can be assigned to WoFi's amp, filter, or both.

MANAGER

• With the Manager and its display, get visual feedback on all your tweakings, manage your sample library, access mywo.fi content through WiFi, and play with the touch strip. There is no subscription needed for mywo.fi. Having WoFi gives you free access to community.

FILTER

• The Filter lets you play the WoFi like classic subtractive synthesizers. It's a digital low-pass filter with two different slopes (12 and 24 dB) and a tasty resonance.

TEXTURER

• The Texturer is here to take you to unexplored sonic territories. Elevate your sound with this effect halfway between a shimmer FX and granular synthesis.

LFO

• The LFO lets you modulate your creation. With three different wave shapes, assign it to any parameter of the front panel and give motion to the sound.

SEQUENCER

• The Sequencer lets you build melodic patterns with 16 polyphonic steps. It can be used as an arpeggiator. You can have your two hands free to play along with the sequence and tweak your sound while it is looping. And you can step-sequence parameters, which makes it another modulation source in addition of the LFO and the Envelope.

RECORDER

• The Recorder lets you either capture a sample from the line in or directly from the built-in microphone. It's easy as a pie�pick your audio source with the switch, click on record, and voilà�just like with the iconic first keyboard samplers.

MASTER

• The WoFI is made to be played in many contexts, from your couch to the studio, so it has a full connectivity and two stereo audio outputs: one for your headphones and one for a master line out. You also get a WoFi internal speaker. Set your volumes easily.
