New synth startup, Media Overkill (aka MOK) has announced that it will be introducing a new software synth, Waverazor – and a new approach to synthesis – at the 2017 NAMM Show.
Waverazor is described as ‘a futuristic synth that slices waveforms into aggressive new sounds.’ It’s based on a patent-pending oscillator design that they say uses a new form of synthesis to produce ‘biting leads, glitched-out basses, cinematic pads and everything in between.’
Here’s the first video demo:
Media Overkill was founded by industry veterans Rob Rampley, Taiho Yamada and Chris Compton. The founders have been involved in the creation of synths like the M-Audio Venom, Alesis Andromeda and more.
Full details on both MOK and the Waverazor are expected to be announced at the Show, which runs Jan 19-22, 2017 in Anaheim, CA.
I am so excited by this .
The Venom was such a promising synth, it’s a shame that it has been abandoned by M-Audio. If only they had released a steadier firmware…there is some glitch in mine where the arppegiator keeps going up, up ,up until you can’t hear anything. Anyway, if it’s the software equivalent of the Venom, yeah sounds interesting, but I hope there is the same matrix modulation that made it so good to use.
alesis fusion was supposedly good too, once you got the latest update
I agree ……the Venom was really cool………….it had such a bite to it…….and a great look…………
Man, if you just took the word “software” out of the first sentence, this would be a really exciting post.
Love the GUI, like a Klingon control panel.
The developer says it uses actual Klingon on his fb page!
:grabby hands: I must have this.
Yeah, not that impressed tbh. That Akai MPC X and the Toriaz AS-1 look more intriguing to me.
