PWM Mantis Hybrid-Analogue Synthesiser
The Mantis by PWM playable two-voice keyboard synthesizer with hybrid sound generation. At the same time, the Mantis is the last synthesizer that the British developer Chris Huggett (Wasp, Gnat, OSCar, Bass Station 1) worked on until his retirement in 2020 and was completed by Paul Whittington (PWM). The fact that the Mantis is a real Huggett can be felt directly in the clearly designed instrument. The mathematically generated oscillators form a good sound basis for electronic sounds of all kinds, followed by a very flexible Multimode analog filter and distortions and analog VCAs.
The easy-to-play 37-key keyboard produces aftertouch and speed. Instead of the usual handwheels, a joystick is installed that allows you to intuitively manage pitch bending and modulation assignments. As a playback aid, a well-equipped arpeggiator with six playback directions, six octaves of transposition, swing and various clock dividers/multipliers has been implemented, which automatically synchronize with the MIDI clock input. For sounds created with love, the Mantis has 200 memory locations ready, divided into 100 Factory and User sounds each and all overwritable.
