In his latest SonicLAB video, host Nick Batt reviews the PWM Mantis, a hybrid synthesizer from PWM Music and the late Chris Huggett.

Huggett was a pioneering British synth designer for over 40 years, creating synths from the EDP Wasp to the Novation Bass Station.

The PWM Mantis is a hybrid synthesizer, combining digital oscillators and stereo multi-mode analog filters. It features digital wavetable oscillators, looping envelopes, onboard effects, and a six-slot modulation matrix.
