Synthesizer
The Mantis, manufactured by PWM, is a one-of-a-kind duophonic hybrid-analog synthesizer. Featuring a sound architecture inspired by the late Chris Huggett's legendary WASP and OSCar synthesizers, it offers exceptional sonic richness and versatility. This instrument seamlessly blends mathematically generated oscillators with a purely analog signal path, providing a perfect combination of digital innovation and vintage tones. The 2 independent voices of the Mantis are equipped with two oscillators each, as well as a sub-oscillator, allowing limitless sound exploration.

Presentation
The PWM Mantis is a state-of-the-art duophonic hybrid-analog synthesizer, designed in collaboration with the late Chris Huggett. Inspired by the legendary WASP and OSCar synthesizers, it delivers heritage sound of exceptional quality.
One of the particularities of the Mantis lies in its variable mode duophonic filters, designed from the famous SSI2164 and inspired by the design of the OSCar filters. These filters offer a wide range of sonic possibilities, including series or parallel, with width control for precise modulation.
The Mantis' mathematically generated oscillators provide a unique sonic foundation, while the analog signal path ensures authentic warmth and depth. This combination ensures exceptional sonic versatility for all musical applications.
Thanks to its variable-mode duophonic filters, the Mantis offers a wide range of sonic possibilities, allowing musicians to explore new sonic horizons and create complex and captivating sonic textures.
The Mantis' 37-key semi-weighted keyboard is equipped with aftertouch and a joystick, providing an expressive and intuitive gaming experience. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Mantis fits seamlessly into your creative workflow.
Additionally, USB-MIDI connectivity makes it easy to integrate into any studio or live environment.
With its 2 built-in digital effects, versatile ADSR envelopes and precise SSI2164 VCAs, the Mantis offers exceptional sonic richness and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for demanding musicians and producers.
