Behringer PROTON - 4 Wavefolder

19 PROTON User Manual
4. Wavefolder
The wavefolder works by ‘folding’ a waveform back onto itself to create complex harmonics. The Proton wavefolder has two controls and
fourmodes.
4.6.1 Folds
The folds control sets the level of folding that the wavefolder performs, turning it CW increases the number of folds. Turning it fully CCW
has the eect of cancelling the input altogether.
4.6.2 Symmetry
The Sym(metry) control causes the top of the waveform to be folded in a dierent way to the bottom, thus altering the timbre further.
Amplitude Modulation
When the wavefolder is set to AM (amplitude modulation) mode the sym control has no eect, and the folds control alters the amplitude
of the waveform. When it is turned fully CCW the waveform is cancelled altogether; turning it CW brings the wave back in until at full CW
the waveform is unaltered.
Folds fully CW Folds midway Folds fully CCW
4.1 1/2
½ mode allows both controls to work on the waveform, but at half intensity. As with the AM mode turning the folds control fully CCW
cancels out the incoming waveform, regardless of where the sym control is set.
Therefore, with the folds control at the midway point altering the sym control gives the following results:
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
And with the folds control fully CW:
Sym fully CCW Sym midway Sym fully CW
4.2 1
With the mode set to 1 the wavefolder controls work to their full intensity. As it the other modes turning folds fully CCW cancels
theinput.
Therefore, with the folds control at the midway point altering the sym control gives the following results:
