"CEM Chip Power – Oberheim Xpander DNA – MIDI Capable
Step into vintage analog glory with the Akai EWI3020M, a rack-mounted monophonic synthesizer designed to pair with the EWI3020 wind controller—but just as capable when triggered via standard MIDI! Yes, it can be used without the wind controller, making it an incredible analog voice module for any MIDI-capable setup.
At its heart lies a Curtis CEM3394 voice chip—the same chip found in the legendary Oberheim Xpander—delivering warm, punchy, and expressive tones. Originally launched in the late '80s, the EWI3020M was part of Akai’s bold foray into wind synthesis, but its standalone capabilities and exceptional tone make it a sleeper hit for analog synth enthusiasts and modular-minded players alike.
Key Features:
Monophonic analog signal path with dual VCOs, VCF, VCA, LFO, and dual EGs CEM3394 voice chip for rich, vintage sound Wide modulation matrix: 7 sources, 10 destinations 50 patch slots (factory + user) Waveforms include Triangle, Saw, Square, and Sync modes Full MIDI In/Out for use with keyboards, sequencers, or DAWs Rackmount format – a studio-friendly synth module with stage potential Whether you're breathing life into it with a wind controller or sequencing it via MIDI, the EWI3020M is a versatile, expressive, and highly underrated gem in the analog world."
External Audio Path: -Audio main output on ch. 1 and ch. 2
Internal Audio Path: -Two VCOs are entangled with their audio outputs mapped to one another’s FM inputs. -Each oscillator then goes into its own wavefolder. -The wavefolder’s both have a dedicated lowpass gate. -The low pass gates are fed into a VCA for volume modulation -Each VCA is then sent into a stereo mixer -The stereo mix feeds into two spring reverb units for Left and Right. -A limiter is placed on the output for master volume control and clip protection
Internal CV Path: -Free running random voltage generators are fed into a dedicated CV mixer for each VCO. -The random voltage amount and crossmodulation are mixed with another to create a 1v/octave signal for the VCOs. -The trigger outputs of each random voltage generator ping the lowpass gates. -The random voltages go into a full wave rectifier and are used as CV signals for the two VCAs: this creates random volume fluctuations for each channel.
Metamodule knob mappings: A - VCO 1 Frequency B - VCO 2 Frequency C - VCO 1 Random CV D - VCO 2 Random CV E - Random rate 1 F - Random rate 2 U - Random 1 crossmodulation V - Random 2 crossmodulation W - VCO crossmodulation X - Wavefold Y - Decay time Z - Random shape
"Aliasing is usually a big no-no: it means that there's something wrong with your digital sound and with a guy named Nyquist. However, thanks to our Bagài, it is possible to make this bad thing a good one and have some fascinating timbre – with an all-analog signal path (for what it's worth)."
"Don’t have a real Buchla 200 (cloned) and Yamaha DX5 to hand? No worries! Just put this video on in the background (in full-screen mode), and have the next best thing 😁
Here is 10 minutes of self-playing modular synthesiser randomness. Why not put it on loop - then you can have it bubbling away in the background while you do other things
A note on the patch: The DX5 is being triggered and pitched from the Buchla 200 modules (mostly a 280 in cycle mode and 262 Source of Uncertainty, plus some MARF) using a Kenton CV to MIDI Converter. The DX5 is programmed to make a percussive drum-like sound using six operators. The DX5 audio signal then goes back into Buchla modules - mainly the 277 and 288 Delays, which are being fed back on themselves to create the bowed-string-like sounds. The Dodeca module provides mixing, random panning and reverb. The SOU sends random voltages to the 280 so it cycles irregularly. The whole patch has a cybersynthetic nature because it is always on the edge of going chaotic with the feedback to the delays, but it keeps itself under control by injecting new DX5 sounds into the path just in time to settle it back down before it happens again"
"Meet the lovely Samarkanda - a monster of a delay with unlimited potential
Xaoc Devices Samarkanda is a digital quad delay module with extensive patching capabilities and a lot of flexibility for signal mangling. It can be used as four entirely independent delays, a dual stereo delay, a complex/multi-tap or multi-channel delay, a quad/polyphonic resonator, a dual chorus, a dual flanger reverb, a looper (with sound on sound!), and a granulator, or any combination of those. You can reverse the delayed signal, hold it, squeeze and stretch it beyond all recognition and still go back to the original piece of audio captured in the buffer! The internal lossless normalization (the signal doesn't leave the digital domain) combined with top-notch components (including 24-bit AKM converters and 32-bit internal processing) are responsible for high sound quality. Samarkanda has been conceived in the truly modular spirit. Not only can you control almost all its features remotely with CV/gates, but the external feedback path gives you the opportunity to process the delayed signal with other modules.
Samarkanda offers a wide range of delay times beginning at a mere 0.5ms and reaching up to 15 seconds per channel. That means that, by stacking its four channels, you can achieve up to one minute delay! There are two operating modes switchable individually for each channel. Analog delivers pitch changes that resemble classic analog tape and BBD delays. When you combine it with the looping Hold function, you can play Samarkanda with any 1v/octave CV source - using the Sync function you can even loop single wave cycles. The Digital mode gives you a granular buffer-scrubbing effect (no pitch change) across the whole delay time range. You can seamlessly switch back and forth between modes without losing any information. You can use Samarkanda for multiple tasks at the same time - from four independent delay lines through any combination of channels processing the same signal up to a quad behemoth. You can also use the linking feature for ease of operation (the first channel in the chain acts as the main control source for the others).
As most settings operate on a per-channel basis, you can freely combine different features (such as analog/digital behaviour, delay time range, reverse and hold functions, etc.) in a configuration of your choosing. You can synchronize each of its channels separately to a different source, either via the Sync input, or by using the tap-tempo functionality (with multiplication and division galore). Should you ever get lost, the Purge button comes in handy when/if things start to spiral out of control!
Notable features:
Quadruple resampling delay
Lossless chaining of sections
Delay range of 0.5ms to 15 seconds per channel for a total of 60 seconds when stacked
Analog (tape-like) and digital (granular) sweep behaviours
Continuous, synced, and tap-tempo operation
Clock division and multiplication from 1:8 to 8:1
Buffer freezing and 1V/oct loop playback control
Reverse delay effect
Multiple options for coupling channels

"Path is a four-channel Interpolating Router created in collaboration between Vostok Instruments & DivKid.
Born from the roots of our previous module, Trace, Path picks its central concept and does something relatively simple yet powerful: it flips it.
The circuit routes one signal to four possible outputs, fading from one to the next following a soft slope response to ensure smooth transitions.
Path counts with Trace’s best features. It shares the same DC-coupled interpolating circuit at its heart, making it perfect for experimenting with any signal on any of its inputs.
Thanks to the fixed voltage normalled at its main input, Path is also a versatile and unique modulation source out of the box.
Its compact size and layout make Path a very performative and handy tool for adding an organic layer of movement and experimentation to every patch."
"How would you go about replicating a sequence? When it comes to the modular signal path there are a number of intersection points to cut into. For example you could use the word “sequence” to refer to the final audio output of a synthesizer that is being sequenced. It could also mean the oscillator outputs prior to having filtering or effects applied. It could mean the series of stepped control voltage values that determine the oscillators’ pitches from moment to moment. That’s a beauty of the availability of signal flow to us in the modular synth, that we can cut in and disrupt at any of these points, all of which work together in concert to determine the ultimate output."

The Bree6 interface is engineered for straightforward and intuitive use, ensuring easy access to its robust features, including MIDI connections, USB, balanced stereo audio outputs, headphone output.
Signal Path
The signal path in the Bree6 is entirely analog, comprising a single VCO per voice, a sub oscillator, a mixer, a 4-pole low-pass ladder VCF, and a VCA. The control voltages are digitally generated, featuring one LFO and two ADSR-type envelope generators. It also features a stereo digital effects processor with delay and chorus.
Oscillators The Bree6 features a single VCO plus a sub oscillator per voice. The oscillator includes sawtooth and pulse waveforms, with pulse width modulation control that can be modulated by the LFO. The oscillator tuning can be adjusted, and modulation can be applied from the LFO. The sub oscillator generates a square wave one octave below the main oscillator.
Filter The Bree6’s filter is a 4-pole ladder-type low-pass filter with resonance control. It can be modulated by EG1, with velocity affecting the modulation depth, and can also be modulated by the LFO. It can also be controlled by the modulation wheel and aftertouch.
Chorus and Delay The synthesizer offers a stereo ensemble type chorus effect. It simulates a string or vocal ensemble using multiple delay lines modulated by their dedicated LFOs. The stereo delay can reach a maximum delay time of up to 1 second.
LFO The Bree6 contains one LFO with selectable waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, and random with sample and hold). The LFO’s frequency can be set from 0.1Hz to 100Hz, and modulation can be applied to the VCO, VCF, and VCA.
Envelope Generators There are two ADSR-type envelope generators in the Bree6, designed for precise control over the dynamics of both the filter and the amplifier.

"Born out of collaboration between PWM and the late Chris Huggett, Mantis draws from the legacy of synthesizers like the Wasp and OSCar, but with modern refinements and performance. Blending sounds and techniques built over the years designing instruments for the likes of EDP and Novation, Huggett's final designs went into Mantis, and through some touch-up work and adding powerful MIDI capabilities, PWM brought Mantis to market to honor Huggett's legacy.
As a duophonic instrument, Mantis contains two independent voices—beginning with digital oscillators that are then processed through an entirely analog signal path, alongside a digital effects section. Mantis features mathematically-generated oscillators, running on their own DSP chip for maximum performance and quality. There are two oscillators per voice, plus a sub-oscillator, meaning that you can dial in a blended variety of tones as you see fit.
Possibly the star of the show on Mantis is the unique VCF design, utilizing a unique configuration devised by Huggett. Based on SSI2164 VCA chips, the multi-mode filters in each voice may be controlled simultaneously in series or parallel configurations, with a width control similar to what was found on the OSCar. This leads to a distinctive array of sonic potential, helping Mantis stand out from the pack.
Like other PWM synthesizers, Mantis features incredible digital control capabilities, including MIDI CC control over all parameters. Mantis is a modern synthesizer for the modern day, and a fitting tribute to the legacy of Chris Huggett's work."
