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.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
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 if you have questions.
