"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."

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.

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.

WMD Digital VCA MKIII - Dual Zero-Crossing VCA and Polarizer - Announcement

video upload by WMDevices

"Announcing the MKIII version of the WMD Digital VCA eurorack module. This new and improved dual VCA and Polarizer (bipolar VCA) has a zero-crossing detector and noise source. At only 8HP, this module can do many cool things for any modular synth in a small space."

WMD Digital VCA MKIII - In Depth Demo

video upload by WMDevices

"WMD is back and finally in production with the new Digital VCA MKIII eurorack module. This modern take on a classic WMD design combines a Zero Crossing Detector (ZCD), a Voltage Controlled Attenuator (VCA), and a couple noise sources to make a super versatile tool at only 8HP. Watch as Alex Anderson explains many of the features and use cases.

via WMD

"I've done several designs of this circuit over the years, the first one had no knobs, the second was too small, the MKIII is finally how this circuit should be packaged. This module does some really cool stuff and is super useful in any system.

The Digital VCA lets signal through like a normal VCA, but the CV and attenuation level is controlled digitally. This lets us do things like wait until there is a zero crossing to change the amplitude, resulting in clickless amplitude changes.

The Trigger mode causes the VCA to only update when a trigger is received. The addition of a noise circuit for each side let us do a very quick and easy sample and hold that never droops. With no input, 5V is normaled to the attenuator, so you get a 0-5V sample and hold. In Bipolar mode, you can get -5 to +5V.

Both sides have bipolar VCA mode (polarizer), which lets them invert the signal when negative CV comes in. Also known as ring modulation. With the zero crossing detector, this can produce some super wild wave shapes.

Limited run of 410 units for Eurorack Modular Synthesizer systems. I won't be making more or doing another version in the future."

Thanks WMD! | A tribute to Alex & William from WMDevices

video upload by Cinematic Laboratory

"I was a bit shocked by the sad news of #WMD closing shop by the end of 2022. I did not see that one coming. This may also be because I've been putting my head in the sand for three years, trying to stay away from a world going into a second 'roaring 20's' with a super flu, dropping economies and war on EU soil. Nobody f*cking asked for this. I've seen a lot of posts posing questions like 'is eurorack dying out?'. Sure, some brands will not make it, but new brands will start fresh without relying on parts that are not available. I guess we'll see a more fully analog modules in a near future.

As for WMD, I love every single module they make/made. They're top quality modules, aimed at the performer. Even if you don't perform live, you can do a great show in your basement, attic or living room. So get your smartphone out and make/post a little tribute to make sure WMD knows we love them. Finally, I have blind faith WMD will be back one day. Maybe under a different name, but artistry, expertise and quality never closes shop. Just make sure you get the latest firmwares and manuals for your gear, and get your WMD bucket list cleared. When they sell out, they will be sold out forever. I got a DB25 expander, Geiger Counter & Axxent expander this week and trying to figure out which VCO I'd get to complete my collection."
