Kinisis is a synthesizer that revolutionizes sound design through its unique Timeline interface. This innovative feature allows users to create sounds by placing keyframes along a timeline, similar to animation software. Instead of traditional envelopes, Kinisis animates controls in real time as notes are played, providing a more dynamic and flexible approach to shaping sound. This interface enables intricate modulation and parameter changes that evolve throughout each note, making complex sound creation intuitive and accessible.

The Timeline system offers detailed control over sound parameters with visual feedback that shows how controls change over time. Users can freeze the timeline at any point for precise editing or manipulate it in real time for expressive performance effects. With up to 2 billion breakpoints possible, Kinisis accommodates everything from simple sweeps to elaborate sonic movements. The main screen consolidates all tools, eliminating the need for multiple menus and streamlining the workflow for fast and efficient sound design.

Kinisis features a multi-part architecture with four independent voices per note, each containing its own full synthesizer engine. It includes vector synthesis oscillators with waveform import and additive editing, a resonant filter with multiple modes, and a modulation matrix that supports per-note automation. Global effects like delay, reverb, and distortion can be dynamically controlled via the Timeline. Performance is enhanced by assignable X-Y pads and MIDI learn capabilities, making Kinisis both a powerful studio instrument and an expressive live tool.
