WMD: Introducing Time Warp - Dual Channel Gated Slew Eurorack Module

Published on Apr 17, 2020 WMDevices

via WMD

"The acid style pitch slew effect has made it to Eurorack in a small easy to use package. You no longer need to dedicate more complicated modules patched in wacky ways to achieve this classic sound. Finally, a dual slew, with the right interface, at the perfect size. Add some slide and smoothness to your patches on your own accord with Time Warp.

TIME WARP is a dual channel, gated slew module with some extra features that make a powerful and versatile addition to any Eurorack Modular Synthesizer System.

Its unique, Gated Slew function allows users to add slew to any voltage signal at designated times by sending it a gate signal from a sequencer or similar source. Switch it up with Invert Logic on the gate input, or use the switch as a real time performance tool for hands-on control over when the slew will take place.

With two modes of symmetry and a full wave rectifier on the input, Time Warp can function as 2 independent Slews, two A/R Envelopes with tied controls, or even as an envelope follower, taking audio and turning it into a useful envelope signal. CV control over the Rate of slew! Time warp puts all of that in a compact, 4hp package."

WMD Chimera - 10 minutes of sound NO TALKING

Published on Sep 20, 2017 WMDevices

"The description says it all. 10 (this one goes to 11) minutes with the new Chimera percussion module in a very basic and compact setup.

Clocked by the Noise Engineering Horologic Solum and sequenced by the Suit and Tie Guy Graphic Sequencer, the Chimera is the only sound source here. No external effects or sound embellishments... Except for a cup of coffee."

Mixing hardware synthesizers and effects pedals with the WMD Performance Mixer

Published on Jan 18, 2019 WMDevices

"What is the best mixer for live hardware based electronic music performances? Do I need preamps if I am only using synthesizers and drum machines? Can I use the WMD Performance Mixer with synths instead of eurorack modules? Do I need to have Eurorack modules to use the WMD Performance Mixer?

If you are asking yourself these questions, take a few minutes and check out this video!

The WMD Performance Mixer is an 8 channel Mixer for the Eurorack modular synthesizer format. It includes two auxiliary sends, a master insert section, six Mono channels and two true stereo channels. In addition to being the end all solution to mixing audio in the eurorack system, it works wonderfully with hardware instruments such as synthesizers and guitar pedals.

In this video Alex answers the question above and works through mixing four different hardware sound sources, the Roland TR-8 and JU-06, the Arturia Microbrute, as well as a vocal channel using two guitar effects pedals to create an interesting loop of sonic textures.

Alex also uses both auxiliary send and return channels with guitar pedals for external effects. The Zoom MS-70CDR and the WMD Geiger Counter help fill out the mix and make the sound more unique with some pretty traditional sound sources.

808s, 909s, Juno 106, Polysix, they all work awesome with the Performance Mixer.

The Performance Mixer is great for mixing both Eurorack and Non-Eurorack signals together so you can use what you have currently to make the music you love."

WMD AXYS - Eurorack Transitions - "Loop and Swap"

Published on Aug 1, 2019 WMDevices

"Eurorack and modular synth performances can benefit from using different techniques to transition from one "song" or mood to another. This can be achieved in a number of ways depending on the gear you are using and what techniques best suit the feeling at the time.

In this video, Alex covers a technique he's calling the "loop and swap". Using our newest Eurorack Module AXYS and creating a hybrid eurorack and computer setup (microsoft surface), he demonstrates how to record a loop of something you are already playing in order to give you a time buffer to create something new and move on.

This is a basic demonstration of the idea and could be elaborated on a ton.

AXYS is a super useful module and has tons of uses that we'll be showcasing in the next few videos we release. This is just one of them."

WMD Test Lab Performance - 4MS Dual Looping Delay, Arpitecht, PDO MkII and more.

Published on Jan 3, 2018 WMDevices

"Alex sought out to make a patch with the 4MS Dual Looping Delay and two WMD Arpitecht Eurorack Modules. He put together the patch in the morning and left it up, playing with it every couple hours then finally put together a performance to record at the end of the day. This is that performance.

This performance was created with a 12U Eurorack Modular Synthesizer alone. No external effects, compression, or any type of processing was added."

WMD AXYS STEREO CROSSFADER EURORACK MODULAR SYNTHESIZERS

Published on Sep 3, 2019 WMDevices

"Pronounced 'AXIS', AXYS is two Stereo Crossfaders in 6hp.

Stereo patching is becoming more common each day in the Eurorack Modular Synth System and we here at the shop are performing out a ton. Over the past couple years we consistently felt the need for a simple crossfader module that would allow users to switch between two stereo sources, add a stereo effect path, or easily mix a mono source with a stereo one. AXYS was born from this need.

Each crossfader features stereo inputs with normalling for mono to stereo uses as well as independent CV control. Control both crossfaders with one CV easily and decide how the Y will react to X's CV.

WMD AXYS is available at retailers now for $229"

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."

WMD VOLT - Precision Voltage Source and Offset Generator

Published on Oct 25, 2018 WMDevices

"The WMD VOLT was originally designed as a testing and calibration tool for our quality control team as 1V/ Oct calibration requires a precision voltage source to ensure intonation across many octaves.

Need to calibrate an analog synth's oscillator, filter tracking, or anything else that requires a healthy 1V/octave signal? Try VOLT!

VOLT features a 14V range, dedicated buttons as well as gate inputs for up and down control. Use the gate inputs to turn VOLT into a simple octave sequencer. Add in front of your oscillator in the pitch CV path to add an octave switch to any oscillator.

Run up to 3 CVs through VOLT and offset the CV 1V at a time. All three ins and outs are controlled by the same offset.

Volt is a 4hp eurorack module for use with modular synthesizers, hardware synths, and more. VOLT requires a eurorack case and power supply."

And the official product description:

"The VOLT is a precision voltage source and offset generator for eurorack modular synthesizers.

With it’s 14V range (-7V to +7V), VOLT can be used to calibrate oscillators, filter tracking, or anything that needs a 1V/Oct calibration.

VOLT has two buttons. Push the top to increase the voltage by one volt. Push the bottom button to decrease the voltage by one volt. Push both buttons at once to reset the voltage back to a known value.

VOLT has 3 voltage inputs and 3 voltage outputs. The input signal is summed with the voltage source, generating offsets of 1V or 1 octave at a time. This means it can be used as a precision octave switch for oscillators that lack the functionality. Create variation in your sequences with a quick touch of a button.

VOLT’s octave buttons can also be switched via external gates, essentially making it an octave sequencer. One input causes it to go up, and the other causes it to go down. Two gates at once will reset the voltage back to your set value. Running basslines and melodies through volt to be sequenced up and down by octaves is a very effective and a fun way to work.

Features:

VOLT is extremely precise. An offset error of +-1mV and a gain error of 0.033% make VOLT the perfect tool for calibration.
14V range
3 in / 3 out precision adding
Gate inputs for sequence octaves with external CV
User set-able reset point for more control"

WMD DVCA - Using the UPD A input

Published on Oct 25, 2019 WMDevices

"The WMD DVCA is a powerful little dual VCA eurorack module in 4hp. It is great for all sizes of modular synthesizer rigs big and small. The Zero Crossing Detector (ZCD) allows you to use snappy envelopes on smooth waveforms and eliminate clicks and pops.

There has been some mystery around the UPD A jack of the module which essentially lets you sample voltages to set the amplitude level of the VCA. In this video, Alex runs through two potential uses for this input and why you might decide to use it in a future patch."
