Co-developed by the late Chris Huggett, the Mantis is PWM's flagship synth, a duophonic hybrid design with high-performance digital oscillators and state-variable analogue filters. A fitting tribute to a legendary synth designer. Supplier's Notes: Mantis is a unique, duophonic hybrid synthesizer that was co-developed by the late Chris Huggett (of EDP Wasp, OScar & more fame) and is dubbed as a spiritual successor to the OSCar, sporting precision digital oscillators, dual state variable filters and more. Mantis is a premium synthesizer, sporting a high quality 37-note velocity and pressr. The PWM Instruments Mantis Duophonic hybrid-analog synthesizer is a collaboration between the late Chris Huggett (Gnat; WASP; OSCar) and PWM. In development over last period of his life; threw everything he could into Mantis. Although incomplete when passed away; handed part project to Paul Whittington see what be made it. Oscillators The OSCs are generated at boot up using complex mathematics. They run on DSP chip that gives ultimate stability control without compromising unique sound. This makes synth hybrid; however; after through mixer, gain staging filter analog. VCF The Filter multi-mode state variable VCA with overdrive. Its built SSI2164 in special configuration designed by Huggett. There two filters—one for each analog signal path. can combined series or parallel used width modulation create distinctive sound only heard OSCar. FX The has simple digital effects: Reverb Chorus. time level adjustment but also high- low-pass switched limit unwanted lower mud and/or higher bouncy twinkles. Envelopes The ADSR envelopes an additional Sustain Fall parameter negative positive velocity hardwired convenience. allows you drop before release even while key held greater design possibilities. Each envelope put repeat mode act as pseudo LFO if wish. VCA The all-analog VCAs. twice amplified ensure overdriven warm clips naturally. The includes power supply (Mixer Noise Ring Modulation Oscillator density drift Modulation Routes fast Selectable triggering USBC Powered via DC PSUMIDI Din IN; OUT THRU pedal input Controller 1/4" Stereo master outputs 1/4" headphone output. The PWM Mantis is Chris Huggett's latest and sadly last invention and, just like the Wasp, Gnat and OSCar, it's a Hugget-designed synth that fuses the past and present in its own unique way.
