OXI Instruments CORAL

OXI Instruments CORAL - Versatile Eurorack synthesizer with 8 voices and flexible sound design

The OXI Instruments CORAL is an impressive Eurorack module that houses a powerful and versatile digital synthesizer despite its compact width of only 14 HP. CORAL is a polyphonic and multitimbral synthesizer designed specifically for the Eurorack world, with a wide variety of synthesis types and an integrated sample player for numerous soundscapes. With 8 voices that can be flexibly divided into up to 8 parts and a DSP engine that can be expanded through continuous firmware updates, this module offers a wide range of creative possibilities for musicians and sound designers.

Versatile synthesis types and sound design

The OXI Instruments CORAL module comes with an impressive selection of 10 synthesis types suitable for a wide variety of sounds and musical genres. The synthesis types include virtual analog, waveshaping, FM synthesis, wavetable, multi-oscillator, string, as well as dedicated drum synths for hi-hat, snare and kick and even a WAV player for playback of your own audio files. Each synthesis type can be edited via three specific parameters, which can be controlled either manually or via MIDI-CC and CV. The variety of synthesis types and the flexibility in editing make CORAL a powerful tool that can play a central role in both studio and live setups.

Advanced sound processing and effects

The OXI Instruments CORAL offers an extensive range of sound processing features for each voice. In addition to the basic sound of each voice, an additional noise generator is available, as well as a filter, a VCA and two envelopes. In addition, each voice has an adjustable panorama and a chorus effect to give the sounds depth and space. A limiter and a reverb on the master bus ensure the final processing of the sound, optimizing the final sound quality. These extensive sound processing features make CORAL an ideal module for musicians who want to create sophisticated and multi-faceted sounds.

Comprehensive control options via MIDI, CV and gate

All parameters of the OXI Instruments CORAL can be controlled via MIDI CC, allowing full integration into MIDI setups. The module has a 3.5 mm TRS MIDI input that supports both type A and type B, making it easy to integrate into hybrid and digital setups. There are also 9 CV inputs that allow flexible control via analog modulation sources and external sequencers. Thanks to the CV/gate integration, CORAL can not only produce monophonic sounds, but also play chords and strummings, making the module a versatile companion for the Eurorack world.

Powerful DSP engine and flexible voice distribution

The DSP engine of the CORAL module enables the generation of up to 8 voices, which can be flexibly divided into up to 8 parts. Users can use the voices in a polyphonic mode, as a 2x4 voice distribution or in unison mode to create even more complex soundscapes. This flexibility in voice distribution makes CORAL a unique module that is ideal for creating multi-tracked tracks as well as for use as a macro oscillator.

Storage and access to sound resources

Another advantage of the OXI Instruments CORAL is the microSD card slot, which allows the import of presets, wavetables and audio files. This allows users to save their own WAV files and patches and access their sound resources at any time. The module is operated without a display, which keeps it compact. Instead, a ring of RGB LEDs facilitates navigation through the various function levels and channels and provides visual feedback that makes using the module intuitive.

Technical specifications and power consumption

With a width of only 14 HP, the OXI Instruments CORAL module is one of the most compact and powerful Eurorack modules of its kind. Despite its slim design, it offers comprehensive sound generation that is often only found in larger devices. The module's power consumption is 110 mA (+12 V) and 10 mA (-12 V), making it an energy-efficient choice for Eurorack setups. With a depth of only 30 mm, it fits easily into most Eurorack cases and fits seamlessly into existing racks.

Conclusion: The OXI Instruments CORAL - A must-have for the Eurorack world

The OXI Instruments CORAL is an extremely versatile and powerful Eurorack module that impresses with its wide range of synthesis types, integrated effects and flexible control options. Musicians and sound designers looking for a compact but extremely powerful synthesizer will find CORAL an outstanding solution for sophisticated sound generation and performance. With functions such as 8-voice polyphony, extensive sound processing and the option of integrating MIDI and CV control, this module meets the highest demands and enriches any Eurorack setup.
