Introducing Cosmic Debris from WMD and Infrasonic Audio


video uploads by WMDevices

"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."

See additional posts featuring Cosmic Debris here.


"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!

00:41 Technique 1 - Envelope & key tracking
01:53 Key tracking
02:30 Negative modulation
02:58 Attenuating key tracker
03:26 Technique 2 - Parallel filtering

WMD SKORPION Everything you need to know, nothing you dont


video upload by WMDevices

"WMD Skorpion is an analog, 8-stage, vector based wavefolder module. It exposes the architecture of wavefolding to the front of the module, giving the user total control over the timbre they create with it. Internal modulation, along with a ton of CV inputs and outputs allow for deep exploration of constantly evolving timbres.

Skorpion is designed to be an experimental sound design playground, and though we believe there is strength in knowing every aspect of your instruments, we also believe there is value in knowing enough to be dangerous.

This video is that. A quick start about everything you actually need to know to use the module, and nothing else. A longform video will come as the ship date comes sooner.

Skorpion preorders end on October 8th! Reserve yours at WMDevices.com today!

Disclaimer: The module in this video is a prototype and not the final version. All information still applies, however, some switches have changed orientaion and are missing from this version vs. the one you will receive.

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."

THIS IS NUTS!! // first patch exploration with SKORPION from WMD


video upload by DivKid

"Here's my (literal) first patch exploring the utterly wild wavefolding/shaper reanimator SKORPION from WMD. It takes a simple saw wave and creates a rich wide stereo sound that's reminiscent of chaining larger groups of modules with complex routings.

I'm working on a more fulsome demo video that's coming soon but I wanted to share this and show what I did for me 'right out of the box' as it were.

Skorpion is to be produced and released a little differently, it's open for pre-order directly with WMD now and they're going to produce one batch based on the pre order numbers and that's it. So grab one if you want one. You have until the 8th of October 2025 to pre order."
