Bridging the modular and keyboard synthesizer worlds to produce a powerful and aggressive analog beast, the Malevolent Monophonic Semi modular Analog Synthesizer from PWM is a highly flexible instrument that brings not only massive basses, searing leads, and special sound effects, but also a central hub for your expansive modular synth setup.
The product of a fruitful collaboration between PWM and Bristol-based Future Sound Systems, the Malevolent is a 100% analog, Eurorack-compatible, semimodular synth with 38 separate patch points and a huge array of sound and control options to enhance nearly any live or studio setup.
