The design process has been very technically challenging, using high speed cmos and precise analog design with hybrid digital overlay for a solid UI. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSkorpion is an 8-stage analog wavefolder that allows you to precisely mangle simple waveforms into complex shapes with a fun, hands on slider interface.  Taking the concept many steps further, internal modulation sources allow for macro animation of multiple parameters simultaneously, creating rich, evolving harmonic movement never heard before in hardware.  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBe sure to follow us on Instagram and Youtube for more information! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e @WMDevices.
