Panel controls part 2 – Make Noise Wiard Wogglebug User Manual

Smooth & Stepped(Shot to the) Heart IN:
Signals applied here will be injected directly to the uncertainly beating heart of the Woggle-
bug. Accepts Control Voltages or Audio Rate signals.
Chaos Balance:
When nothing is inserted at the Heart IN, Chaos Balance acts in a way similar to the original
Wogglebug Cluster Panel control, setting the range of probable values. Turning this control
CCW, the random values generated by the system tend to “cluster.” With a signal applied to
the Heart IN, it allows that external signal to be balanced with the internal signal source.
Stepped OUT:
At lower Clock rates, the stepped Control Voltage appears here. A new value occurring at
every clock pulse. At higher clock rates, bit reduction effects may be achieved by inserting an
audio signal into Heart IN.
Smooth OUT:
The Smooth Control Voltage appears here, the smoothness of which is set by the Clock
RATE/ Chaos Control.
Smooth RANGE:
This control sets the upper limit for the Frequency ofthe Smooth VCO. It will also greatly
affect the range of the Woggle CV, and behavior of the Woggle VCO.Smooth
VCO OUT:
Square wave, audio rate signal appears here, controlled in part by the Chaos Balance, Heart
IN, Smooth Range and Clock Rate/ Chaos.
Ring-ModRing-Mod External IN:
Any audio rate signal may be applied here, for injection to the Ring-Mod circuit. The digital
nature of the Ring-Mod circuit makes Simple waveforms (Pulse, Square, Triangle, Sine, Saw)
almost necessary to achieve something remotely musical, but don't let that stop you from
pumping Motown samples into this circuit!
Ring-Mod OUT:
Audio rate signal. The ring modulated product of Smooth VCO, Woggle VCO and Signal at
External Ring-Mod IN. It gets messy, real fast.
