WMD’s new Fracture multi-particle percussion synthesizer Eurorack module is now available.
Fracture uses single impulse samples like Claps, Snaps and Ping Pong Balls and then plays a group of similar samples back in a psuedo-random order, creating a crowd effect.
In the video above, WMD’s Alex Anderson gives us an overview of Fracture at this year’s NAMM Show. The video below offers studio demo of Fracture’s sonic possibilities:
Features:
- Stereo output
- Control over “how many people” and ” how tight” they sound together
- Built in Hall and Room reverb
- Two Trigger inputs for different types of sounds
- 3 Filter types, 3 Envelope types
- Free running, Voltage Controlled “applause” capability
- CV over all parameters
Pricing and Availability
Fracture is available now for US $269. See the WMD site for more info.
I always find it a bit odd there’s no reference to predecessor gear e.g. Simmons Claptrap. Seems cool but definitely riffs on that, no?
This little thing is pretty awesome. Not bad at that price point either.
controlling crowd size and I am guessing density as well, very cool
