Synth module makers WMD and SSF recently announced that their Eurorack modular synthesizer keyboard system, The Monolith, is now shipping.
The developers are positioning the Monolith synth as a pro level monosynth that also serves as a bridge for newer users to learn modular synthesis.
In this video demo, cuckoo tries out the Monolith, exploring the modular keyboard with some FM patches:
“I found this to be very precise, and with a lot of detail in the sound,” notes Cuckoo, “yet completely powerful in the SUB register. It’s a good one!”
The WMD + SSF Monolith Eurorack Modular Keyboard Synthesizer
The Monolith is comprised of a 37-key keyboard with 104 hp Eurorack rails loaded with the WMD-SSF collaboration line of fifteen modules. Complete with power supply and 25 patch cables of assorted lengths, the Monolith is a fully-functional, completely customizable modular synth with a wide palette of tones that the user can patch from scratch.
The Monolith system includes 15 Modules: two Spectrum Oscillators, a Pole Zero Filter, two ADSRVCAs, an Amplitude Discrete VCA, an S.P.O. Scaling Polarizer and Offset, the Ultrafold wavefolder, the Blender four channel crossfading mixer, a Quad Attenuator, the Toolbox utility module, a Mini Slew function generator, as well as a custom Keyscan module with Aftertouch, Velocity, and MIDI (in, out, and thru).
SSF and WMD have also included a Buffered Multiple, a LVLS output module, leaving 16 extra hp worth of space filled with blank panels for the user’s further customization or future expansion.
Pricing and Availability
The WMD + SSF Monolith Eurorack Modular Synthtesizer System is available now from select retailers for about $2600US.
What exactly is a spectrum oscillator? A Google search did not bring up a clear answer…I assume it is digital.
additive sine waves at fixed intervals
Looks and sounds awesome.
The bass sounds from this are unreal. Demos like this make me seriously consider getting into modular.
I am already saving up money for this sucker….
