About this listing
A New Type Of Synth ModuleSuperKar+ is a Eurorack voice module that uses Karplus-Strong synthesis to create the sound of plucked or bowed strings, struck or blown pipes or tubes, or a suite of other sounds from percussive textures to legato melodies and chords with smart harmonies. This is Karplus-Strong synthesis at its most intuitive and captivating.Karplus-Strong is a form of delay feedback synthesis, where every tone and texture is constantly in a state of varying tension. SuperKar+ is an engagingly responsive instrument, as tiny changes in attack/decay time and damping create an infinite variety of subtle or dramatic timbral shifts, and variable random per-note detuning can create lifelike realism.Deceptively Powerful, Invitingly Simple And IntuitiveWith an interface that can be understood at a glance, the sheer amount of music you can create with a single SuperKar+ module borders on mind-blowing. It draws you in, allowing you to generate full-sounding arrangements with as much musical and timbral variation as you can imagine via CV connections. Powerful enough to be the center of endless sonic exploration, SuperKar+ delivers all of this in a compact 12HP form factor.Self-Contained Voice ModuleThe nature of Karplus-Strong synthesis means that you won’t need to dedicate VCAs or amplifier envelopes to SuperKar+. Independent attack, decay and damping are included for both the Solo and Chord voices, and the module also includes an internal mixer with independent output levels for both voices, as well as multiple stereo and mono audio output modes.Two Instruments In One: Independent Melodies and ChordsSuperKar+ is divided into two halves or voices: a Solo Voice and a Chord Voice, both of which can be played simultaneously and independently of each other if desired. Both voices can be triggered and pitched independently via control voltage, while the Solo Voice can also be controlled polyphonically via MIDI.Independent timbre selections are available for both voices, and each voice has its own independent level control and can be routed through a separate audio output if desired.Sound DesignKarplus-Strong based voice moduleTwo independent Voice channels – Solo Voice and Chord VoiceEach Voice is polyphonic up to 16 notesSolo Voice plays single notes capable of sustaining simultaneouslyChord Voice plays chord structures based on the root from the received V/Oct (Volt per Octave) CVChord Voice includes fixed intervals with smart harmonies availableSelectable Wide & Narrow Stereo, Split Voice, and Mono output optionsMIDI input controls the Solo Voice for a 16 part polyphonic experience with velocity sensitivity (when using MIDI, unplug the solo Voice TRIG and Solo Voice V/Oct CVs)Solo Voice is tuning stable to six octaves via CV and eight octaves via MIDI, and the Chord Voice is tuning stable to five octavesIns, Outs, and SwitchesStereo inputs and outputsExtensive CV control of parametersUSB jack (located on the rear) for performing firmware updatesAudio Quality520MHz ARM Superscalar processor32-bit floating point processing108 dB signal to noise ratio from input to output (A-Weighted)111 dB signal to noise ratio for DAC (A-Weighted)Dimensions and PowerRack width — 12 HPRack depth — 1.5” (38mm)Power requirements — +12V rail: 120mA, -12V rail: 120mA, +5V rail: 0mADesigned and built in the USA
