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.
