Waveshaper Input.
This jack allows the user to inject an external CV or
Audio source to modify the symmetry of both the
Triangle and Sine waves simultaneously. Thereby
adding new character to the sound as it modifies the
slightly harmonic Triangle & idealy harmonic-free
Sine.
The Waveshaper Input accepts +/-5V (the typical VCO
waveform output level) allowing for some very extreme
waveshaping to take place. Or, if the user pefers; very
subtle but effective modulation of the waveforms with
the addition of signal attenuation prior to the
Waveshaper Input.
The Waveshaper accepts signals in the DC range all
the way up to audio rate. Allowing for some very
animated morphing and mangling of the waves. The
result being that you actually add harmonics to the
waveform rather than (by the use of filters) take them
away.
Tips:
Adding a VCA before the Wavshaper Input can add
more dynamics and control to the amount and timing
of the modulation input.
CV sequencers help add repeatable, syncronized
waveshaping to the mix. Great for when your
modulations need to be in sync with a specific tempo.
