PWM MANTIS

duophoner hybrid-analoger Synthesizer

mit zwei Oszillatoren und einen Sub-Oszillator pro Stimme.

Paul Whittington stellt den ab Sommer 2023 erhältlichen pwm Mantis Synthesizer auf der Superbooth 2023 vor. Mantis ist in einer Kooperation mit dem leider schon verstorbenen Synthesizer Pioneer Chris Huggett (OSCar und WASP) and Paul Whittington entwickelt worden.
