WMD Kraken - Snare Synthesizer In-Depth Demonstration

video upload by Patchwerks Seattle

One more video below.

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) of Patchwerks shares an in depth look at the new WMD Kraken.

Order the Kraken here.

From WMD: 'No samples, 100% digital synthesis with the ability to make realistic snare drums of all sizes, shapes, materials, and colors. Similar to Crucible, Kraken uses a network of classic synthesis blocks like delay, digital filters, and noise to create a very unique resonator.

'Crack-in' to the snare drum sound you're into most by adjusting parameters that corelate to physical drum properties such as shell type and size, head tightness, amount of overtone, and how tight and bright the snares sound.

You like snare samples? Great! Although Kraken does not use any recordings to generate sound, you can get a perfectly repeatable snare sound, similar to a sampler by using digital noise to generate the sound of the "snares".

Want your snare to sound more realistic? Try analog noise to imitate the subtle difference of a drummer hitting the snare slightly different on each hit.

Perfect Pitch... kind-of. Optional pitch shifter on the output widens the sonic palette as well as the frequency range, while imparting a unique character of it's own, reminiscent of old school samplers and pitch shifter pedals. Pitch knob and CV input take control of the pitch shifter when in this mode.

Wreck the ship with the Wreck switch and CV input. Three different distortion characters push the envelope that much further with an analog style gained up hard clipping, wavefolding, and bit depth reduction. At some shell settings, gain gets loud like running a snare mic through a distortion pedal. The wave folder sounds like over-the-top compression with lots of high frequency content,. The bit depth reduction setting lets you dial in a desired amount of "vintage" digital artifacts. Moving the switch to these different modes is only a preview. Use the Wreck CV input for the most control and variety in sound.

Kraken is begging to be sequenced. Use the Head, Rim, and Accent gate inputs to start your basic rhythm of hits, sidesticks, rimshots and accented sounds. Sequence the Velocity input with a variable CV source to bring the pattern to life and put the drummer behind the kit.'

"Crack-in" to the snare drum sound you're into most by adjusting parameters that corelate to physical drum properties such as shell type and size, head tightness, amount of overtone, and how tight and bright the snares sound.

You like snare samples? Great! Although Kraken does not use any recordings to generate sound, you can get a perfectly repeatable snare sound, similar to a sampler by using digital noise to generate the sound of the "snares". Dial in the decay to cut the sound short, and use different gate lengths to mimic "gate" mode style sounds in samplers.

Wreck the ship with the Wreck switch and CV input. 3 different distortion characters push the envelope that much further with an analog style gained up hard clipping, wavefolding, and bit depth reduction.

At some shell settings, gain gets loud and fedback like running a snare mic through a distortion pedal. The wavefolder sounds like over-the-top compression with lots of high frequency content.

Highlights:
- No samples, 100% digital synthesis
- 3 built-in distortion types
- Digital and analog noise source
- Pitch shifter
- Wide range of sounds
- Two trigger inputs - Hit both simultaneously for a realistic "rimshot" sound."

WMD Eurorack Drum Machine With The New Crater Kick Drum + Tiptop Audio Effects Modules

Published on Dec 27, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"This jam pairs WMD's Metron, their full arsenal of drum modules, Mutable's Plaits, and Tiptop's new ZVERB and ECHOZ effect modules to create a heavy-hitting drum machine in just 104hp of space. With the recent introduction of WMD's Crater, we needed to see just how huge a WMD drum machine could sound.

WMD's four drum modules work in tandem to produce an entire kit's worth of unique, articulate, and highly detailed percussion sounds. Chimera produces metallic sounds using a purpose-built granular engine pre-loaded with samples of everyday objects; Fracture uses a similar engine for scattered, particulate tones. Crucible is a physically-modeled cymbal module, capable of producing sound ranging from realistic ride cymbals to impossibly large metal sheets. Crater, the newest member of the WMD drum family, utilizes a combination of analog and digital components to produce huge, powerful kicks with the impact of a 909 but the body of an 808.

Tiptop's ZVERB and ECHOZ provide tailored versions of effects from their years of development on the Z-DSP multi effect module, while the Metron keeps everything moving while the MSCL glues the mix together."

Triggering Tricks with WMD's Crucible

Published on Jul 21, 2019 Learning Modular

"The WMD Crucible's two trigger inputs can yield three different sounds:

- a trigger at just the Edge input simulates hitting the edge of of a cymbal
- a trigger at just at the Mid input simulates hitting the middle or “meat” of the cymbal
- a trigger happening at both inputs at the same time simulates hitting the bell or center of a cymbal

Patching a normal trigger generator like Mutable Instruments’ Grids that has an optional Accent output to the Edge and Mid inputs on Crucible will only yield edge and bell sounds, as the Accent trigger only happens at the same time as the main trigger output.

Therefore, to get all three sounds out of the crucible, you need two independent trigger sources that sometimes fire independently, and that sometimes fire at the same time - which I demonstrate above.

Shakmat Four Bricks Rook Sequencer With Future Retro Transient Plus

Published on Jul 3, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"Shakmat Modular's Four Bricks Rook is a fast to program sequencer for up to four drums with interesting editing options. In this video we used it to sequence Future Retro's Transient Plus which is a powerful drum synthesizer module with built in presets and randomization. The Transient Plus has analog modulation and synthesis algorithms even though it is a digital module.

The other drums used were the Befaco Kickall, WMD Crucible and Tiptop SD 808 snare. We used the Future Retro Trax sequencer to program the Erica Synths Bassline synth module. Effects and mixing are done with Erica Synths modules and the Noise Engineering Kith Ruina is dirtying up the snare drum.

Ritual Electronics Altar SVF & Miasma Distortion Eurorack Modules

Published on Jun 28, 2019 Perfect Circuit

"We just started carrying Ritual Electronics modules and we made this bass sound with their Altar state variable filter and Miasma distortion. The Altar is a unique state variable filter in that it is an 18db/octave filter where most SVF filters are only 12db/octave. The Altar has continuously variable filter types and an input gain circuit that can overdrive the filter core for tons of dirty filter sounds.

The Miasma is a distortion with built in feedback routing that can lead to screaming self oscillation. When the Crime expander module is added to the Miasma you can use the rotary switches to select different combinations of diodes for different distortion types.

The drums in this video came from the Befaco Kickall and the WMD Crucible.

WMD Eurorack Drum machine and Empress Effects Zoia

Published on Jun 17, 2019 WMDevices

"Mixing worlds between guitar pedals and modular synths is a super fun way to get more out of a minimal set up.

In this video, WMD Metron is in control of a 4 channel drum machine. Each of our drum modules, Chimera, Fracture, and Crucible are running through the WMD/SSF Blender 4 channel mixer with 2 drums going to Left and 2 drums to the right.

The ZOIA is receiving CV (gate signals) and Audio from this @wmdevices Eurorack drum machine. The Gate signal from Metron is triggering an ADSR envelope on the ZOIA. This ADSR opens a filter connected to a randomized polyphonic chord on the ZOIA made possible using the new scale options on the ZOIA’s quantizer tied to a single random LFO.

ZOIA is processing 2 separate channels of audio with 2 drum tracks on the Left channel and 2 drum tracks on the right, each channel has separate effects going into the ZOIA’s mixer and lastly into a stereo reverb on the ZOIA."

"WMD Crucible Input-Test:

Cwejman S1 MK2 into Frap Tools Fumana Filterbank into Cwejman QMMF-4.

From 16 seconds onwards I feed different filterbands from the Fumana into the Crucible input generating this nice dirty layer on top of the S1. I didn't use the Trigger inputs.

Sequencing is done by Make Noise Rene (clocksignals from synced LFOs (XAOC Batumi).

The noise is generated by the ZVEX Modular Instant Lo-Fi Junky."

WMD Crucible Eurorack Module - 15 minutes of sounds NO TALKING

Published on May 16, 2019 WMDevices

"Exactly what the title says. 15 minutes of sounds generated 100% from the Crucible Eurorack Synthesizer Module.

This video is focused on the sound generation capabilities of the module and goes from realistic cymbal sounds to straight alien soundscapes. We are only using the two trigger inputs, as using the audio input would require audio from a different source. Another video focused on the audio input capabilities will come soon. Audio rate triggering and modulation however is all over this video. Put it on and tune out while placing an order at your favorite eurorack dealer." [see the dealers on the right]

WMD Black Panels WHAT!?! - WMD is moving to a new look!

Published on May 6, 2019 WMD

"In order to provide our user base with the best possible quality product possible, we decided that it was time to bring our panel making process in house. This is one of the last processes that we had been outsourcing as it is a very difficult thing to get right.

We finally landed at a process that we are extremely excited to share.

From now on, our modules will all feature a virtually indestructible panel made of black anodized aluminum with engraved artwork and lettering. For now, we are only offering newly build modules as black versions. We do not have the time or resources to offer a black replacement panel for each module however this may become an option down the road. As we run out of things, we will be filling new orders with black versions, starting with Crucible, Fracture, Chimera, and of course, METRON.

We will be offering this process as a service for companies looking to make the switch. Please email info@wmdevices.com for more information! We cannot offer one-off custom work at this time. Production quantity inquiries only please!

Thank you all for your support over the past 12 years and for your patience while we make this transition. We truly feel like this is going to take our build quality to the next level."

WMD TEST LAB - Generative Music with WMD METRON and CRUCIBLE

Published on May 3, 2019 WMDevices

"This is a little jam using METRON as a random trigger generator for the rest of this small 6U eurorack system to create some generative, ambient, spacey sounds.

Crucible is being used as a resonator for the WMD Fracture module. The melodic lines are created with two WMD/SSF Spectrum oscillator modules, with occasional FM from one to the other. The Modbox' Sample and Hold output is choosing waveforms on the geiger counter as well controling the VCA that is in control of the FM and crossmod for the Spectrums."
