Synchrodyne

WMD Synchrodyne: A New Dimension in Synthesis

The WMD Synchrodyne is a powerful and versatile module that introduces a unique approach to filtering and sound generation. At its core lies a stable, sawtooth-based VCO that drives a sophisticated "switched-capacitor" filter. Because the filter frequency is directly clocked by the oscillator, it produces sonic results ranging from smooth, liquid sweeps to raw, aliasing-heavy textures. Combined with a built-in VCA and an integrated wavefolder, the Synchrodyne acts as a complete, experimental synth voice for any modular system.

Key Features:

• Coupled Oscillator and Filter: The onboard VCO provides the clock for the filter, ensuring perfect tracking across the frequency range.

• Switched-Capacitor Technology: Delivers unique resonance behaviors and steep slopes distinct from traditional analog filters.

• Integrated Wavefolder: Add complex harmonic overtones to your waveforms for surgical sound design.

• Built-in VCA: Allows the module to function as a standalone voice with dedicated amplitude control.

• Extensive CV Control: Features multiple inputs for FM, PWM, and filter modulation to create evolving timbres.
