Synthesizer
The Mantis is a Hybrid Duophonic Synthesizer offered by the PWM brand.
The Highlights of the Mantis
The PWM Mantis hybrid duophonic synthesizer, designed by the late Chris Huggett and PWM (Paul Whittington), represents a revolution in the field of sound synthesis. By combining advanced algorithms, DSP stability, and precise analog control, this instrument offers an unparalleled musical experience.
Key Features of the Mantis
Complete Tone Control
Featuring two oscillators powered by a robust DSP chip and leveraging sophisticated mathematical calculations, the Mantis offers complete control over tone, thus preserving the unique PWM sound character.
Variable State VCF Filter with Overdrive
Its variable state VCF filter with overdrive, built around the specially designed SSI2164 chip by Chris Huggett, offers incomparable sounds previously reserved for OSCar connoisseurs.
Architecture Inspired by Classic Synthesizers
Inspired by the architectures of classic WASP and OSCar synthesizers, the Mantis offers an extensive sound palette, ideal for creating rich textures and massive sounds.
Premium Semi-Weighted Keyboard
Its premium semi-weighted keyboard, equipped with aftertouch and a 360-degree joystick for modulation control, ensures optimal musical expression.
Premium Semi-Weighted Keyboard
The integrated mixer and modulation matrix offer intuitive and in-depth control over sound design, making the Mantis an indispensable tool for musicians and producers seeking limitless creativity.
