The HPO is the first module to be released by ALM since last year’s MUM M8, a low-pass filter designed in collaboration with Mumdance based on the one inside the Akai S950 12-bit sampler.

FACT caught up with ALM at this year’s Superbooth show in Berlin last month, where the company gave us a sneak preview of some of its upcoming modules, including a sampler and wavetable oscillator. Watch that below.
