Capture the tone of a boutique synthesizer powered by 26 vacuum tubes The Knifonium is an exceptionally beautiful-sounding analog synthesizer that is driven by a whopping 26 vacuum tubes. This upscale synth features two tube-driven oscillators, a 4th order ladder filter, a ring modulator, and a gorgeous "steampunk" aesthetic. One of the most rare synths in production today The original hardware units are handcrafted in small batches by high-end audio device designer Jonte Knif, with his incomparable sense for detail. As beautiful as these synthesizers are, the Knifonium is much more than a stunning piece of eye-candy capable of making "weird noises". It is an exceptionally musical and inspiring instrument with so many possibilities for shaping and modulating sound. Fewer than two dozen of them have ever been made. Even more powerful than the original Not only is the plugin version of the Knifonium more accessible and easy to use than the original, it also includes features that aren't possible in the analog world. This plugin emulation of the Knifonium adds 8 independent voices to the synthesizer, opening up a new universe of possibilities. Imagine an atmospheric pad sound produced by a total of 208 vacuum tubes! It also includes mid-side and stereo spreading capabilities, a unison mode for even richer sounds than the original, and a carefully-curated BX effects section, including a vintage-style phaser, SPL EQ Ranger, Waveshaper, and more, giving you a wide range of effects that you will actually want to use. Tested and approved by Jonte Knif himself Lead designer Jonte Knife has been making vacuum tube-based hardware for mixing, mastering, and sound design for years, gaining critical acclaim for his tube and solid state designs alike. His Knifonium was carefully crafted to be the best in its class. Brainworx engineers modeled the complete circuits of the original hardware, including all 26 tubes, applying their patented Tolerance Modeling Technology to recreate the natural variations in envelope parameters, pitch, LFO speed, and more to make this recreation sound as realistically analog as possible. Jonte confirms that the plugin sounds and behaves just like the real thing. In his words "It sounds like nothing else". FEATURES Up to 8-voice polyphony driven by up to 208 carefully-modeled vacuum tubes. A powerful effects section featuring well-known studio-grade effects. A complete arpeggiator including flexible panning functions. Over 300 presets included by top sound designers. Mid/Side processing and onboard stereo field enhancements. TMT - Brainworx patent-registered "Tolerance Modeling Technology" (US Patent No. 10,725,727) Just install - Rock on and enjoy! -TCD All the presets are pre-installed, but for those of you that use the GUI to install new packs - the long and short of it condensed here - you "basically" (that's TCD way of saying you not smart if you don't listen, sincerely) need to Disable "Run all Administrators in Admin Approval Mode" in Group Policy, gpedit.msc, and reboot. Your previous failure is a combination of a permissions thing and Knif/PA failing to listen to Microsoft's best practices. Technically, Microsoft is on point FAR, FAR, FAAAAAAAAR more than the general public thinks and accepts. It is all the other aspects OUTSIDE of technical about them that are wrong. Not tech, in almost ALL cases. Disabling as per above is a "normal" initial step of setting up a new Windows, regardless if it will be used for audio or never audio at all. If the setting is toggled, a full reboot is required by the operating system for it to be applied and placed into effect.
