Make Noise Wiard Wogglebug - Manual (Page 7)

Overview:
Amongst other things, the Make Noise Wogglebug contains the following:1 Voltage Con-
trolled Clock, 1 Sample & Hold, 2 Lag Processors, 1 Random Gate Burst Generator, and 2
VCO1 Digi Ring Mod-most of which are patchable via the instrument's panel.
While I have broken the Panel Controls & I/O description into Sections for explanation,
please understand that ALL portions of the Wogglebug Interact in a system that is capable of
CV and Signal generation, as well as CV and Signal Processing. For example, changing the
Chaos Balance will affect the Stepped, Smooth and Woggle CVs, the Smooth VCO,
Ring-Mod and Woggle VCO OUTs! The way that I like to think of the system is that the
Woggle circuit (bottom) is chasing the Smooth/ Stepped circuit (top) which is being kicked in
the ass by the Clock (center).
It is very possible to make patches and panel settings which lock up the System, and thus
the CV outputs will hang at whatever was the last voltage and The VCOs will drone on
almost unchanging. When this happens, a tweak to just about any panel control will wake
and disturb the Wogglebug. This is especially true with the Range controls, will cause great
variation in the system. With the Smooth Range set lower than the Woggle Range, the
Woggle circuit will more easily “catch” the Smooth circuit. If the Woggle range is set lower
than the Smooth Range, the Woggle circuit will never be able to catch the Smooth VCO.
Finally, consider that many changes in the system are NOT immediate. This is due in part to
the slow response of the vactrols used in the circuits.
