video upload by sonicstate

"At NAMM 2024, Sonic State spoke with Alex from AMMT, a new company that is an offshoot of WMD. AMMT showcased their new hi-hat module called Clutch, which is a dual sample player designed to create high-quality hi-hat sounds. The module includes various features such as blend knobs, surface control, release, pitch, balance, and filters. It also offers CV capabilities for added modulation possibilities.

The Clutch hi-hat module is expected to be released in the next couple of months with a price around $399."

Superbooth 2023: WMD/AMMT - VCA Mark III - HiHat

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2023, Sonicstate spoke to Alex from AMMT/WMD about the big changes occurring in the company. WMD is continuing to produce its mixer and voice architecture modules, such as Carbon Filter and Javelin, as well as the new digital VCA Mark III module. The updated VCA features zero crossing detection which eradicates pops and is available at the end of the year. AMMT is presenting the HiHat, a sample player and interface designed to make hi-hats and percussive textures. It is still a prototype with no name yet, but it features an open and closed input, two layers of samples, and various controls to mix the samples and create the desired hi-hat.

WMD was previously manufacturing for other companies as well as their own, and with this change, both companies are sharing the workload and reducing their product lines to be smaller and more focused. AMMT and WMD are working on new products which should be available by the end of the year."

WMD Resumes Operations & Branches off New Company AMMT Synthesis

via an intervew with WMD's William Mathewson over on Perfect Circuit

"We've got several layers of good news: 1) WMD is resuming operation; 2) There are plenty of new and old products in the works; and 3) Many WMD designs have branched off for production under a new company called AMMT Synthesis, headed by Mathewson and several of his colleagues from WMD (Alex Anderson, Matt Tanner, and Mason Malvinni). I'll start by saying that we don't expect to see new products in the wild from WMD or AMMT until sometime later this summer at the earliest; but we're beyond thrilled to hear that some of our favorites (Performance Mixer, Metron, and more) are going to be available once again, in a slightly updated form."
