WMD PDO MKii - Cascading Phase Modulation

Published on Jun 4, 2018 WMDevices

"The WMD Phase Displacement Oscillator MKii is an oscillator for Eurorack modular synthesizers capable of creating complex wave shapes with a high density of high frequency harmonics.

In this video, we demonstrate the sounds that one can make with the PDO. All with one drone, we show the range of sounds. From simple sine to harsh noise, this oscillator can do it all."

Can a cheap drum machine be BETTER? Arturia Sparkle reviewed

Published on Jun 4, 2018 loopop

"The Arturia Spark LE - or Sparkle has been around for quite some time, but I only came across it when I needed drum sounds for a clip I made a few weeks ago. I was scouring the web for good drum plugin with plenty of sounds, downloaded a demo of this and was impressed with how good it sounded. And when I saw you could get the hardware controller for Spark used on Reverb for around $100 and new for around $200, I decided to check it out.

If don't mind a hardware-software hybrid instrument, it's hard to beat the price/performance value of Arturia's Sparkle. Sparkle is rich in content, sounds, features and performance, and the interface that lets you access it all is very easy to learn and use. Sparkle doesn't use up much CPU resources, so if you have an old laptop or computer around the house, you can put together a drum machine with features and control that will make standalone drum machines jealous, at any price range."

"***this is a one of a kind item - - 1 Available***

The PolyKey/Distortion Synthesizer is an experimental Lo-Fi sound device that explores the unpredictable realm of 'data type' distortion.

when the 'data distort' control is at 0 (far right knob), the device functions as a polyphonic 5-voice wavetable synthesizer. each voice has it own key button and a microtonal pitch control knob above.
decay control for the 5 enveloped voices (top knob) and 40 waveform shapes are available to shuffle between using the wave button (directly under decay control knob)

the data distort control "inflates" the audio data stream and also adjusts the threshold (or data type) in which the sound data can 'overflow' . this overflowing of data causes drastic frequency modulation and unpredictable wave folding. these effects and percussion type sounds can be explored using the 5 pitch control knobs above each voice key and by switching between the 40 unique waveform shapes.

audio output - 1/8 inch "headphone style" jack
power - mini USB cable included

-ships out same day!

***this device is a one of a kind*** as i continue to explore the sound synth possibilities of the atmega 328 microprocessor, i will have various one of a kind development models (prototypes) for sale."
