We caught up with Paul Whittington at GearFest UK 2024, held at Tile Yard. Paul introduced the latest production unit of Mantis, which is now available in the UK music stores starting Monday. The unit includes quad and duophonic modes, along with new firmware that allows for syncable arpeggios and LFOs. Paul mentioned an upcoming review and expressed excitement about the detailed insights expected from it. Overall, Mantis is now fully featured and ready for its users.
In our conversation, Paul shared his favorite patches, particularly highlighting one titled "Beach Dazed" which imitates the sound of the ocean. He demonstrated various patches and explained the different modes of the instrument, including mono, duo, and quad modes, each offering unique setups of the filters and voice paths. The MSRP is set at £1349, and there is a 10% discount for GearFest attendees. Paul concluded by emphasizing the melodic advantage of having multiple voices in the instrument.
