Here’s someone who knows their ‘Mid’ from their ‘Side’: Morgan McWaters is entirely WORNG. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Morgan is an independent Eurorack Module designer with deep knowledge of Stereo and Mid-Side processing techniques. In this Bleep, we hear about Morgan’s beginnings as a tech for a synth band, through to his experiences designing, building (and shipping, on a bike) WORNG modules, and much more fireside chat besides.
