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."

WMD Crucible Cymbal Synthesizer & Metron Gate Sequencer At SynthPlex 2019

Published on Apr 8, 2019 Synthtopia

"At SynthPlex 2019, we talked with WMD's Alex Anderson (aka Nasty Nachos), who gave us a quick demo of their new Crucible and Metron Eurorack modules.

The Crucible is a unique Curved Metal and Cymbal Synthesizer. It doesn't use samples, it uses an original modeling design.

The Metron is a 16 channel trigger and gate sequencer that offers tons of performance possibilities."

"METRON is in stores now!

METRON is a 16 track trigger and gate sequencer for Eurorack Modular Synthesizer systems.

Focused on live performance and real-time sequence manipulation, METRON is the perfect tool for creating evolving and interesting music in the Eurorack ecosystem. Ever wonder how to make a new section on the fly so your set isn't just the same 8 bars over and over? METRON is the key.

Here's a quick look into its features:
​
Easy-to-read Button Matrix lets you see 4 tracks and 16 steps at a time.

Create quick 16 step sequences or expand out to 16 pages for a max pattern length of 256 steps!

Pattern length function allows for each track to be a different length.

Odd meters recommended!

Intuitive counter displays let you know where you are at and how much time has passed.

Random pattern generation as well as deep probability settings.

FX mode allows for quick rolls, momentary fills, mutes, manual triggers and more.

Included memory card lets you save patterns and states, as well as backing up and managing up your sequence data via a computer.

Send presets to compatible modules via midi on the S.bus connection.

...and so much more."

Thriller performed on a Eurorack System!

Published on Oct 30, 2018 WMDevices

"To get in the Halloween spirit this year, Alex aka Nasty Nachos decided to do a fun cover of Michael Jackson's Thriller using a Eurorack Modular Synthesizer System and a Juno-106.

All melodies were sequenced via MIDI files programmed into the Squarp Pyramid. Drums were sequenced via our Trigger Sequencer Prototype, METRON.

Notable modules:
The bassline is 2 WMD/SSF Spectrum Oscillators mixed into a Rossum Evolution ladder filter.

The Lead is a WMD Synchrodyne with expander.

Other notable modules include: Rossume Electro-Music Assimil8or, WMD Performance Mixer, WMD Chimera and Fracture."
