OXI Instruments Coral – 8-Voice Polyphonic Eurorack Synthesizer Module
The OXI Instruments Coral is a fully-featured 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer packed into just 14HP of Eurorack space. Born from admiration for Mutable Instruments' Plaits, it expands those sound engines across eight independent voices — each with its own filter, amplifier, envelopes, and effects sends — creating a complete multitimbral synth or groovebox inside your modular system. Whether you're layering lush pads or building full tracks with drums and bass, Coral brings serious power to any rack — explore it at Soundium.
Key Features
- 8-Voice Polyphony: Eight independent voices, each with up to 8 oscillators — 64 oscillators total running simultaneously
- 19 Sound Engines: Virtual analog (Moog-style 3VCO), FM, wavetable, waveshaping, MDO, Acid, string, modal, drum synths (kick, snare, hi-hat), particle noise, and WAV player — with more engines planned
- Multi-Part Capability: Split voices into up to 10 independent parts, each with its own engine, filter, envelope, FX send, and MIDI channel
- Built-in Effects: Reverb, chorus, and delay with per-voice send control for spatial layering
- MPE Support: Full MPE compatibility for expressive polyphonic control
- Complete MIDI Integration: Control any parameter via MIDI CC — pairs perfectly with OXI One or any polyphonic sequencer
- CV/Gate Inputs: 8× CV inputs (±5V, ±10V max) and 1× Gate input for direct modular integration
- Dual-Knob Interface: Timbre, Harmonics, Oct, and Morph parameters surrounding a central encoder with secondary functions
- MicroSD Slot: Load custom wavetables and WAV samples
Customer Benefits
Coral replaces an entire rack of oscillators, filters, and VCAs with a single 14HP module that delivers eight fully independent synth voices. The multitimbral capability means you can run bass, pads, leads, and drums simultaneously from one module, controlled via MIDI or CV. With 19 engines and counting, it keeps evolving through firmware updates — making it a long-term investment for your modular setup.
