Powerful oscillator section with deep tonal flexibility
At the heart of Monumatic are 16 carefully crafted oscillator modes, ranging from classic analog staples to futuristic tones. You will find recreations of iconic sounds like the Roland super-saw, the Polymoog’s vox humana, Casio-inspired phase distortion, and the lush Solina string synth. More experimental options like percussive drawbar organ emulations and noisy cassette string textures are also available. Each oscillator is fully analog-modelled, allowing for rich harmonic content and natural behaviour without resorting to digital sampling. The Detune control adds depth and movement across all modes, letting you easily craft wide, animated sounds or tight, focused timbres for intricate layering.
Six advanced filter types for complete sound shaping
After the oscillator section, the sound passes through one of six filter options: a vowel filter for vocal-like effects, a 24dB Butterworth low-pass, a 12dB state-variable filter, a dual peak notch, a phase shifter, and a combined high-pass and state-variable filter. Each filter can be pushed into subtle saturation or aggressive drive using the Drive control, giving additional tonal grit and warmth to your patches. This flexibility allows you to move seamlessly between smooth, vintage tones and hard-edged modern textures without needing additional external processing.
Analog and digital control with seamless integration
Monumatic is designed to fit naturally into a modular environment. It provides two assignable CV inputs that can be mapped instantly to any parameter, along with dedicated inputs for Gate, V/Oct, and Filter Cutoff control. Beyond analog control, Monumatic offers full MIDI and MPE support, allowing expressive performances from compatible keyboards and controllers. This makes it a perfect bridge between traditional modular workflows and modern, touch-sensitive performance systems. Comprehensive MIDI CC implementation allows remote tweaking of all major parameters, ideal for integration with DAW automation or MIDI-based sequencing setups.
Creative chord and voice distribution functions
One standout feature of Monumatic is its ability to store and recall eight customizable chord presets. These presets can be triggered with a single CV/Gate pair, enabling lush polyphonic pads, sharp stabs, or evolving textures without needing complex sequencing. When playing monophonically, the unit intelligently distributes additional voices, creating layered arpeggios and plucked effects with natural decay and sustain behaviour. The Mono/Poly button allows instant switching between full 8-voice polyphonic operation and a powerful legato monophonic mode, giving you two distinct instruments in one compact module.
Advanced micro-tuning and adaptive intonation
Monumatic introduces advanced tuning capabilities rarely seen in Eurorack format. The micro-tuning system allows users to introduce subtle, vintage-like oscillator drift or engage adaptive ‘just’ intonation to dynamically adjust tuning relationships for more harmonically accurate intervals. You can assign the micro-tuning amount to CV, allowing real-time modulation of tuning character, adding an evolving, organic feel to your polyphonic textures. This feature makes Monumatic a unique tool for those seeking richer and more expressive harmonic structures in their modular compositions.
