When a synthesizer polarizes! Let's ask Paul about the PWM Malevolent

video upload by SequencerTalk

"It's a naughty screamer or are we getting the little brittish synth all wrong?

We have Paul Whittington the founder of PWM as a guest in the livestream. Together with him we will clarify apart from great videos and marketing whether the little spitfire deserves his place in the music studios."

This Synth Is Possessed... PWM Malevolent

video upload by VCO USA

"True story... I left my studio for a few minutes and when I came back I realized I left the LFO on with a patch that I was trying to create. In that moment, I realized Malevolent is more evil and deep than it appears. This is what I walked into when I got back to my studio which inspired me to tweak and evolve what was already there. A happy little accident.

I added a little bit of reverb and delay for a dramatic effect. Sounds like the beginning of a score to a horror movie if you ask me. "

PWM Malevolent: A selection of raw sounds (no talk, no FX)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"Who likes grinding, grating, howling, scraping, buzzing, screaming, inharmonious detuned filth? I'll tell you: The harder, cooler more experimental edge of the synth world - and that's you :D So here they are from the PWM Malevolent and all completely raw. No pesky effects to mask the horror and wash away imperfections. Why experience 'pleasant, lush or smooth' when you can have 'random, resonant and cross-modulated' ?
Experience the vicarious fun of ugly, dirty noodling on one of the world's most ugly synths! Yes, the Malevolent is ugly, and not even catwalk-weird-ugly, just plain ugly. From its bug-guts-green color scheme, messy layout and annoyingly small filter, resonance and drive knobs, ugly. But ugly is as ugly makes, so see how easily the controls can tip from one sound into something completely different. Then add some careless CV patching in utter disregard of pitch.
And as fun as it is to tweak it'd be a brave (or spiteful) soul who'd play this live without a beefy limiter or some other device to catch the inevitable volume peaks, piercing resonances and unexpected low-end swells. It is not a tame lion. In the video I tried to keep the volume under control and have made only minor overall volume adjustments to individual sound clips in the DAW. But there are absolutely no effects, EQ or post-processing.
I might replace all the knobs - but the layout will still be awful :/ But what about that sound?!

Hamburger Lady (cover version)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"What better way to set the tone for 2023 than a cover version of the uplifting 1977 pop hit "Hamburger Lady" by Throbbing Gristle. Here all synth sounds are generated by the PWM Malevolent synth - the perfect family sing-along keyboard. (The 'heartbeat' displayed waveform is also the Malevolent synth.) Vocals are by my daughter processed through the Bitspeak and Manipulator VSTs.

PWM Malevolent meets the DB-01 (No FX & No talk)

video upload by Richard DeHove

"What better to team with a dirty DB-01 than an absolutely filthy Malevolent :D Here the DB-01 feeds the Malevolent some CV and provides a percussion-like bed for some simple keyboard noodlings. This isn't an exploration of the Malevolent, more just a momentary discovery that I recorded. I'm not sure that the knob and cable positions were all significant but small changes made big differences so I kept to playing with the filter and resonance knobs (which deserve to be a lot bigger) and a little touch of FM1 and FM2 amounts, all slopped over with near-maximum drive. The setup: The DB-01 is sending its clock to the Malevolent's back-panel clock-in (which keeps the arp in sync). DB-01 CV out is going to FM2 in; and the DB-01 Gate Out to FM1 in. The Malevolent is also sending its own gate to AM2 in.
There's no effects on either machine, nor is there any DAW EQ or other fiddlings. It's all raw as you see it. The two scope displays show the direct output of each machine.
More Malevolent videos when I start to understand what's going on.
