About Katla
Katla is a Voice Rotating Polyphonic Synthesizer inspired by its namesake – Iceland’s largest subglacial volcano. We set out to creat an instrument worthy of that legacy, something powerful and expressive. Katla achieves this by utilizing a set of wildcard parameters, infusing itself with unpredictable, organic behavior, adding life and movement to your sound. A volcanic synth must roar, so we equipped Katla with four independent distortion destinations, most unruly of which is a stereo CMOS drive.
At the core of Katla is a voice-allocation engine routing notes across five discrete voices, each with individually adjustable parameters. With six unique voice-allocation modes, Katla excels at generating evolving, multi-layered textures responding distinctly to every note. This feature, combined with Katla’s five LFOs and envelopes, enables intricate per-voice modulation, allowing each voice to stir, swell, and erupt in its own unique way.
