WMD Announces Clutch: A Hi-Hat Sample Player Module Many Have Been Waiting For

After several years of ideas, testing, and improvements, WMD has released Clutch, a new digital hi-hat module for Eurorack. It is designed to make expressive, detailed, and performance-ready hi-hat sounds.

 Originally it was planned to be released under a new brand called AMMT, but WMD later decided not to continue with that name. The AMMT logo is still printed on the module as a tribute to the team that built it.  

Clutch is a dual sample player made especially for hi-hats and layered percussion. It has two separate sample parts, so you can mix simple, classic hi-hat hits with a large collection of sounds stored on an SD card.

Layer A can be fully controlled with CV, which lets you create moving, changing rhythms.
Layer B stays steady and reliable, giving you a solid base for your beats.

A CV Disable switch lets you quickly return to your basic settings. Clutch also includes built-in effects and a “Feel” control (inspired by the WMD Chimera) that helps create a more human, natural playing style by changing velocity, attack, and release based on triggers.

Clutch will be available worldwide through WMD dealers and directly from wmdevices.com today

WMD, based in Denver, Colorado, has been building electronic instruments and Eurorack modules for almost 20 years. 
They are known for creating creative, performance-focused tools trusted by musicians around the world for their sound quality, reliability, and play-ability.
