SuperKar+ Eurorack Karplus-Strong Voice Module
SuperKar+ is a powerful Eurorack synthesizer voice module that brings the magic of Karplus-Strong synthesis to your modular setup. Designed to emulate the sound of plucked strings, bowed instruments, blown pipes, and resonant percussive tones, SuperKar+ offers an intuitive path to both realistic acoustic textures and experimental electronic sound design. From sharp percussive hits to flowing legato melodies with smart chord harmonies, this module unlocks endless sonic possibilities.
Expressive Karplus-Strong Synthesis
At its core, Karplus-Strong synthesis uses delay feedback to generate rich, evolving tones where each note is alive with tension and subtle variation. With SuperKar+, tiny adjustments to attack, decay, and damping controls open up infinite timbral shifts, while per-note random detuning adds organic depth and lifelike realism.
Intuitive Interface, Endless Creativity
The 12HP interface is designed for instant playability. Whether you want quick inspiration or deep sound design, SuperKar+ keeps you engaged with controls that make sense at a glance. Connect via CV or MIDI and explore a huge range of melodic, harmonic, and percussive textures. Create full arrangements and evolving soundscapes without needing additional VCAs or envelope modules.
Dual Voice Architecture: Solo & Chord
SuperKar+ is divided into two independent voices:
- Solo Voice ā Play monophonically or polyphonically via MIDI, with independent control for attack, decay, damping, timbre, and output.
- Chord Voice ā Generate lush harmonies with smart chord voicing, controllable through CV triggers and pitch inputs.
Both voices can run simultaneously or independently, each with its own output routing, internal level control, and timbre selection. An integrated stereo/mono mixer gives you flexibility for live performance or recording.
Compact Power for Modular Synth Rigs
With its compact 12HP design, SuperKar+ delivers massive sound without taking over your rack. Its unique implementation of Karplus-Strong synthesis makes it versatile enough to serve as a main voice module or as a creative companion for percussion, strings, and evolving textures.
