Hello,

hope you're good. First things first ...

THIS IS SET TO BE A VIDEO PREMIERE, IT'S LIVE AT 8:30pm UK, WHICH IS UNDER 30 MINUTES FROM THIS POST. COME JOIN US TO HANGOUT AND CHAT, WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU!!

Here's the eagerly anticipated Clutch from WMD, that was WMD, then AMMT, then back to AMMT again. It's a highly flexible, expressive and musical hi hat system and percussive sample player. Whether it's performance friendly controls, the 8 on board FX, the layering and filters for a produced - easy to place in a mix - sound it can have, or the dynamic 'feel' accent and velocity control ... I think it's really impressive.

Check out the video and back with more soon.

p.s. there's Patreon exclusives to come, 3 from the Veno Orbit video and 1 from this. There's something else to post later this week so I'll spread them out, if you're waiting on anything specific let me know and I can put them up in an order that you like.

p.p.s on Discord we recently discussed me sharing the set ups I used when making a video and how and if it's worth documenting such things. With that in mind, while there's no module by module run down, here's a screen shot of the modular grid from the 9U system used to make this Clutch video.

It's a dual layer, closed and open hi hat module based around the playback of samples. With 'samples' said ... you can swap them and turn this into a percussive sample player for non hi hats too - which we do in the video. There's built in FX, seriously impressive 'feel' and dynamics controls that are incredibly musical incredibly easily and a whole host of features to layer sounds, sit them in a mix and to perform with them.
