WCS-X

This compact powerhouse draws from the raw spirit of EMW's original WCS series, blending digital precision with analog grit for sounds that punch way above its size—think Synclavier-esque edge meets acid-tinged monosynth attitude.

At its core, three digital oscillators each pack 30 waveforms plus noise, feeding into a dedicated analog signal path with lowpass/bandpass VCF, VCA, ADSR envelope, and an analog LFO focused on filter sweeps. A second digital LFO handles pitch modulation via the onboard wheel for dynamic, hands-on expression, all in a no-menu, real-time design with zero patch storage—pure tactile control. Measuring just 17.7 x 13 x 14 cm and weighing 1.27 kg, it slips easily onto any desk, echoing the footprint of classics like the Doepfer Dark Energy but with EMW's refined 15-year analog heritage.

As a fresh prototype hitting the scene, it's already generating buzz for its hybrid warmth and versatile tones, perfect for basslines, leads, and experimental textures in a minimalist package.
