BIG BOLD & BONKERS!! // WMD's limited edition Skorpion

video upload by DivKid

"Here’s the big, bold, beautiful and bonkers SKORPION from WMD. WMD state that Skorpion is the epitome of their ethos “New Sounds, Maximum Experience” and it’s packed with CV, ins and outs, all the controls you could dream of - and plenty we couldn’t dream of - taking us through a broad spectrum of subtle to chaos, massive harmonic range and it’s absolutely continuously explorable, a module to learn and take new things from for a long time.

Skorpion builds on William’s long pedigree of experimental module designs and Skorpion is no exception. It employs a new method of wavefolding, with 8 folders and a threshold and target system that creates a power vector of shaping. There’s masses on smart in built modulation and while all this might some complex, it delivers great sounds quickly and simply and then offers a whole world to explore, much like a massive modular system of functions behind one well laid out panel."
