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."

WMD Skorpion - Demo with DRUMS as the input source
video upload by WMDevices
"Wavefolding is wonderful on waveforms to add and skulpt harmonic content, but we get the question alot, "what about drums". Welp, here is the answer. In this video, we run through Skorpion with different drum sounds one at a time, then send an entire mix bus through it, finding textures, glitches, and other brilliant harmonic oddities. This module is one of a kind, truly.
Preorders close on Oct. 8th, 2025. After that, we build one run. Once it's gone, it's gone. Preorder yours today at WMDevicees.com."

WMD Skorpion - Melodic content demo and jam
video upload by WMDevices
"Skorpion isn’t just for aggressive tones and ripping basslines. In this video, we explore how it excels at melodic, expressive content—adding harmonic movement and subtle dynamics to a down-tempo modular jam.
With carefully tuned modulation and thoughtful CV routing, Skorpion becomes a fluid timbral instrument that complements softer material just as well as it tears through heavy tones.

WMD Skorpion Sound Demos
video uploads by WMDevices
"Skorpion is an 8-stage vector based wavefolder module that boasts a huge range of sounds via it's deep, yet intuitive set of controls. In this video, we cut about an hour of jamming and experimentation together into about 8 minutes of sound examples. No talking in this one, just pure sonic exploration and a demonstration of what this module can do with a simple input.
In the intro, we're running a sine wave through Skorpion and add some CV from an envelope into slope to create some rhythm. We add some drums to hear this in context with a drum beat. We then transition into a sine wave as the input signal, then some Saw (with windows) and Swarm Waveforms, experiment with a filter before the Skorpion, and end up back with some drums in different configurations.
