WMD

A dual-layer sample player built specifically for hi-hat and cymbal sounds, blending 9 onboard open/closed sample pairs with 8 banks of 16 memory-card sample pairs, shaped by dedicated filters, release controls, and hi-hat-optimized effects with CV control over key parameters.864

Capabilities 1

Sample Playback Percussionsample-playback-percussion
Plays open and closed hi-hat sample pairs from onboard memory and user-loadable SD card banks, with accent triggering, CV control, and effects overlay.864

NameSignalVoltageDescription
Inputs (9)
A/Bcv≤5VCV input that sums with the A/B crossfader control.864
CHOKEtrigger—Stops the output sound using a quick envelope when triggered.864
CLSDtrigger—Trigger input that fires the closed hi-hat sample.864
FX PRMcv≤5VCV input for controlling an effects parameter.864
OPENtrigger—Trigger input for open hi-hat sounds; triggering simultaneously with CLSD produces an accented hit.864
PITCH Acv≤5VCV input that sums with the Pitch A knob to control pitch of Surface A.864
RELEASEcv≤5VCV input that sums with the global Release control.864
SRF Acv≤5VCV input that sums with the Surface A sample-select control.864
VELOCITYcv≤5VCV input controlling global velocity for both open and closed sounds.864
Outputs (1)
OUTaudio≤11VFinal mono mix output of all sounds.864

Parameters 11

NameTypeRangeBehavior
A/Bknob—Crossfades between Surface A and Surface B sounds.864
ACCENT / FEEL / FX SWITCHswitch—A three-way spring-loaded switch: hold left to change accent behavior, hold right to toggle FEEL, tap left/right to change FEEL sequence or (in FX Mode) select a different effect.864
BAL/R.OFFSET/HPF Switchswitch—Selects the function of the adjacent multifunction knob: volume balance between closed/open, release offset for closed sound, or high-pass filter.864
BANK BUTTONbutton≤8Tap to cycle through 8 SD card sample banks for Surface A; LED color indicates the active bank folder. Hold to enter FX Mode, where the bottom two knobs control FX parameters.864
CV Disableswitch—Instantly disables all CV modulation, restoring the sound defined by current knob positions; designed for live performance quick resets.864
Multifunction Knob (BAL/R.OFFSET/HPF)knob—A multifunction knob whose role is set by the BAL/R.OFFSET/HPF mode switch: adjusts open/closed volume balance, shortens closed sound release relative to open, or controls the high-pass filter cutoff.864
Multifunction Knob (SRFB/PITCH B/LPF)knob—A multifunction knob whose role is set by the SRFB/PITCH B/LPF mode switch: selects Surface B sample, controls Surface B pitch, or controls the low-pass filter cutoff.864
PITCH Aknob—Directly controls pitch for Surface A sounds only.864
RELEASEknob—Global release envelope control affecting both open and closed sounds.864
SRFB/PITCH B/LPF Switchswitch—Selects the function of the adjacent multifunction knob: Surface B sample select, Surface B pitch, or low-pass filter.864
SURFACE Aknob—Selects which sample plays on Surface A; the selection is sampled at trigger time.864
