At Superbooth 2024, we met up with Chris at Sound Workshop who revealed his unique Wiggler, a digital monosynth with a single morphing oscillator that you can blend with white noise, and a keybed that can wiggle up and down as well as left to right. Chris describes it as a MiniMoog for expressive synth nerds, with pressure giving loudness expression and wiggling for vibrato. The small keybed gives you one octave of a selectable scale, and was inspired, Chris tells us, by old flutes. There is also an attack decay envelope called Strike which adds a little harmonic thwack to the start of the sound.
Wiggler has MIDI and 5 CV outputs for each of the expressive parameters so you can wiggle away on any synth you like.
Wiggler available: end of 2024. Price: around 850 USD
