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."

Lyle visits the Lost Ant Cafe


video upload by suitandtieguy

"Monday night I went to a very tiny bar in Lostant IL called the Lost Ant Cafe for fried chicken because the third shift clerk at the Tonica Casey's had a long conversation with Squiche and I about a bunch of stuff on the way back from Knobcon and I asked her what local fried chicken she liked. This was the only place I can remember from the conversation, and it's about a quarter mile down the road from a legendary upper Illinois River valley supper club called The Bull's Head which has been closed for too long. If you don't understand the relationship with the upper Illinois River valley, Italian supper clubs, and fried chicken then I don't know what to say other than you need to touch grass.

I came back to the studio and did this with Lyle. I think it demonstrates how absolutely fried this thing can sound. EBM guys are gonna want to save their pennies for the heaviest (by weight) bass machine they've ever played.

There is a modest amount of distortion on this example, in addition to slow LFOs from each voice controlled by each voice's auxiliary VCAs whose level is set by the Active Attenuators generating a simple voltage offset (something it does if you plug nothing into it) then multiplied to all four voices with the Active Multiples. These LFOs are fed into the second control input of the Vanilla Filters.

Each voice is panned across the soundfield with the output mixer.

In this example I only tweak the gate time on Continuo, global filter frequency and envelope amount, and the amount of the LFO to the filters from the Active Attenuators on the right side of the synthesizer.

As usual with Lyle videos, no effects or mastering at all, simply normalised.

Audio Verité, just like The Drive To 1981. I think it sounds great."

Feedback Fight! Umbra Takes on Dark Matter


video upload by Metamyther

"In this video we compare Isobar’s Umbra, a powerful stereo feedback accumulator, with Bastl’s Dark Matter, the cult-favorite feedback and distortion module, to see how each shapes sound in a Eurorack system. This head-to-head demo explores their strengths and differences. This comparison will help you decide which feedback module is right for your setup."

CEN2RION – Scanning Mixer for Audio and CV


video upload by u-he

"CEN2RION is a six-input, two-output scanning mixer for audio, CV, or both at the same time.
Cleverly controlled with just two knobs per layer, the twelve high-quality VCAs can mute, solo, blend, sum, route, or split signals across two busses."

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."
