PWM Malevolent Semi-Modular Analogue Synthesizer

PWM proudly present their first ever synthesizer - a bold and adventurous modular and truly analogue synth that puts a fun and creative user experience above all else!

Boasting a wealth of connectivity options including 19 3.5mm inputs and outputs, you've got endless patching capabilities for deep sound exploration and integration capabilities with other modular systems.

Complete with an innovative analogue circuitry design, developed in collaboration with renowned Bristol based synthesizer manufacturers 'Future Sound Systems', the Malevolent boast a plethora of huge synth sounds ranging from soaring leads to super-wide bass sounds to percussive phrases and otherworldy sound FX - it's all in the patching!
