collapse expand iconDescription

The PWM Malevolent synthesizer is a truly analog synth, cohabiting the modular and synthesizer world. It boasts multiple connectivity options for endless patching capabilities, including MIDI I/O, Ccock I/O, phones, line out and USB-C.

Malevolent includes a fully featured arpeggiator with independent control and signal capabilities, allowing arp MIDI control alongside patchable signal manipulation. Its USB-MIDI control is completely separate to the analog signal path, working as a totally independent USB to 1 volt per octave USB MIDI interface.
