What is a Plexus | feat. XAOC Samarkanda and WMD Sequential Switch Matrix

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"Yes, I want to make a PlexiPhon video too. It's always a joy when MakeNoise announces a new Tom Erbe collab, and always a drag to wait for it to cross the Atlantic. I have it on pre-order since I saw the first video. As far as I can tell, MakeNoise didn't explain what a 'plexus delay' is and how it differs from, let's say, a Mimeophon. At first listen they sound like very close family, maybe even too close. However, MakeNoise did a follow-up video where we could hear how the PP changes its delay line like a chameleon, depending on whatever goes into the module and I had a clear WOW moment.

But I still didn't know what a Plexus was, and since I am writing a Book that's supposed to last at least 50 years, I had to do some research. The term is mainly used in biology, describing complex junctions in our nervous system. The term is adopted by networking and represents a complex node to node network. Now it's a small step from a delay line to a delay network, and from a delay network to a reverb. The fun part about a closed plexus is that it can re-encounter elements from anywhere in the chain. Imagine taps that can select crossroads and take a long way home.

I explored the concept with XAOC Samarkanda Quad Delay, which allows me to 'patch program' any combination of four delays with four feedback paths. It's a plexus, but a very simple 'square'. I decided to use the WMD Sequential Switch Matrix so I could patch the I/O in a 4x4 grid. It still doesn't sound like much, but now a 'tap' can travel over 65.536 different routes (2 to the power of 16) which is more than enough to create a vast diffusion network.

I am aware it's a lot of patching and most of you won't be able to follow, but you can freely experiment in VCV too, and learn a LOT. And let's not forget the PlexiPhon can be on its way to the stores right now, which could downsize my experiment into one convenient little module. I can't wait to get my hands on one. But honestly, if you own a Samarkanda, experiment with it first, and only buy new stuff if you really have to. Remember this: It's not the module, it's the behavior!"

Send and returns

video upload by WMDevices

"Sends and returns are one of the most powerful and most misunderstood concepts in mixing, and they work exactly the same way in Eurorack as they do on a big analog console. This video walks through how AUX sends, pre/post-fader routing, bus outputs, and the master insert all work on the Performance Mixer MKII, using Cosmic Debris as the effect. You'll learn why effects return directly to the master (and why that's the point), how to keep delay tails when you pull a fader, and when to reach for pre-fader AUX 2 vs. post-fader AUX 1. Concepts apply to any mixer with sends."

Cosmic Debris Mix CV: Build a DJ "Scratching" inspired patch from ground up.

video upload by WMDevices

"Cosmic Debris's mix CV input is the secret weapon in this patch. By routing gates and voltages from Metron and Voltera through a Subway used as a makeshift attenuator/scanner, you can chop and crossfade a clocked delay in real time, dialing in everything from rhythmic stutter to DJ-style scratch effects. Watch the full patch get built from scratch: drums, a square-wave bass voice through Carbon and Javelin, and then the Cosmic Debris CV routing that ties it all together."

Eurorack Fundamentals - Everything is Voltage!

video upload by WMDevices

"Your LFO is an oscillator. Your envelope is a waveform. Your sequencer can make sound.

In eurorack, the distinction between audio signals and control signals is just a matter of speed. In this video we prove it by running experiments that show exactly what happens when you push modulation sources into audio rate, and what that means for how you think about patching.

Covers: oscillators vs LFOs, envelopes at audio rate, sequencers as waveform generators, and why voltage is the only thing that actually matters."

"WMD at SuperBooth 2026!

Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) is a 4HP eurorack channel strip module (EQ, Filter, Ducking, DJ Effects) for use with individual voices, submixes, or full program material. It can be used in mono or stereo and can be connected to the Performance Mixer MkII Insert header with a ribbon cable for seamless integration, or to the front jacks for independent use.

Bus Rider is a stereo multiband EQ/dynamics processor + lookahead limiter designed for on the fly mastering at the end of your signal chain. It's also useful for submix and individual channel processing. The Isolator EQ is a great performance tool beyond fitting your mix to the room.

"A collaboration born in the Denver modular community

Cosmic Debris began as a design by Nick Donaldson of Infrasonic Audio, a fellow Denver modular enthusiast we met through our monthly Freq Boutique gatherings. Nick approached WMD for advice on manufacturing, and as soon as we heard the sounds he was creating, we knew there was something special.

From there, the collaboration took off. We worked closely with Nick to refine the design, bringing in ideas to expand the feature set, streamline performance controls, and ensure the module would be rock-solid for production. The process has been as rewarding as the results: not only has Cosmic Debris grown into a truly versatile delay and reverb processor, but we’ve had the joy of building a deeper friendship through the design journey.

Cosmic Debris is a powerful delay and reverb engine built for modular explorers who want more than just echoes. With 16 interactive delay lines, multiple performance modes, and a design tuned for live use, Cosmic Debris can move from precise rhythmic repeats to infinite atmospheric washes in an instant.

At the core, Spray transforms traditional delay taps into massive ambient reverbs, while Scatter reshapes the feedback paths and interactions between lines to create ever-changing textures. Time and it's shift function SLEW take traditional modulation and flip it on its head with huge risers, crossfading delay time changes, and hands on control over the energy of the sound caught in the buffers.

A built-in band-pass filter lets you carve space in the mix or push the signal into motion with CV modulation.

Cosmic Debris is designed with performance at its heart. Blast delivers a momentary boost into the delay input as well as 100% send level (in send mode) for explosive bursts of sound with natural tails, while Send Mode turns the Mix control into a CV-controllable send/return level, perfect for insert-style processing.

Flexible sync options include clock input, tap tempo, or free-running mode, keeping you locked in rhythm or drifting into uncharted time. A dedicated Freeze function captures audio into a timeless loop, letting you hold textures indefinitely.

Three unique processing modes, Blur, Ratio, and Warp, expand the palette even further, from smearing reverbs to pitch-shifted delays. Combined with its intuitive interface and deep modulation capabilities, Cosmic Debris is equally at home in a live performance rack or a studio sound-design system."

3 Filter Techniques I Keep Coming Back To (ft. WMD C4RBN)

video upload by Dots

"Unlock more from your filter than you thought possible.

In this video, I walk through three creative ways I use filters in my modular system — starting with a familiar technique and quickly moving into more experimental territory. Along the way, we explore ways to shape movement, add character, and completely transform a simple patch.

The final patch is where things get really interesting… and it might just change how you think about filters altogether.

Whether you're new to modular or deep into patching, these ideas will work on pretty much any filter in your rack.

I also show some of the additional features of the WMD C4RBN along the way... including some features which are great for live performance!
