Hello,

hope you're well. In DivKid studio HQ I've been spending the time before Machina Bristronica and the time after absolutely melting my mind with WMD's Skorpion. We can dim it down and call it a wave folder, but it's really so much more with lots of in built modulation, controls, sonic option and everything from subtle washes of harmonics under fine expressive control through to totally bonkers extreme sounds you can twist and mangle with lots of controls of CV.

Skorpion is a one batch production, pre order and done product for WMD so if you want one you have until the 8th of October to pre order a Skorpion, with very limited availability beyond that. You can do that at WMD // https://wmdevices.com/products/skorpion-waveform-reanimator?srsltid=AfmBOorOTP2kHlqK3SvdfOWieD8POtmlmi-779x_sP1xMRQJ57L46b-A Perfect Circuit // https://bit.ly/PC-Skorpion

I'll leave you with the video, there's a Patreon exclusive from this one that looks at super imposing melodies into the folding profiles, I'll set that up to post over the weekend exclusively for $5+ tier supporters. Where you get access to all the exclusives.

There's lots to come in the near future with new videos, a new Perfect Circuit discount code, a new Analogue Haven discount code (thanks to Darklord for setting that up!), things from Machina Bristronica, a post on mastering and how those services may be available to the community soon ... and lots more!

Enjoy the Skorpion video, I hope it inspires some patching whether you feel it's for you or you play around with some other folders and shapers instead.

Ta ta for now!

BIG BOLD & BONKERS!! // WMD's limited edition Skorpion

Here’s the big, bold, beautiful and bonkers SKORPION from WMD. WMD state that Skorpion is the epitome of their ethos “New Sounds, Maximum Experience” and it’s packed with CV, ins and outs, all the controls you could dream of - and plenty we couldn’t dream of - taking us through a broad spectrum of subtle to chaos, massive harmonic range and it’s absolutely continuously explorable, a module to learn and take new things from for a long time. Skorpion builds on William’s long pedigree of experimental module designs and Skorpion is no exception. It employs a new method of wavefolding, with 8 folders and a threshold and target system that creates a power vector of shaping. There’s masses on smart in built modulation and while all this might some complex, it delivers great sounds quickly and simply and then offers a whole world to explore, much like a massive modular system of functions behind one well laid out panel. You have until the 8th of October to pre order a Skorpion, with very limited availability beyond that.
