Dirtywave M8 Operation Manual
WAV LINE
Wav Line allows one dimensional scanning through the entirety of Braids’ wavetables.
TIMBRE moves through the waves, while COLOR selects the interpolation method.
When COLOR is set to 00, no interpolation is applied. When COLOR is at 40, inter-
polation is applied between samples, but not between waves. When COLOR is at 80,
interpolation is always applied. When COLOR goes past 80, interpolation is applied
between waves, but the resolution of the playback resolution is decreased.
WAV PARAPHONIC
This mode is a 4-voice variant of WAV LINE. TIMBRE morphs through a small selec-
tion of 16 waves. COLOR selects the harmonic structures between the 4 voices - from
a predened set of chords. When COLOR is set to 00, all voices are playing the same
note with a variable amount of detuning, creating a thick chorus eect.
FILTERED NOISE
This model lters white noise with a state-variable lter. The main oscillator frequency
controls the cuto frequency of the lter. TIMBRE controls the resonance of the lter.
COLOR performs a crossfade between the low-pass and high-pass outputs of the lter.
TWIN PEAKS NOISE
This “Twin Peaks” model generates white noise and process it with two band-pass l-
ters (resonators). TIMBRE controls the Q factor of the lters, and COLOR changes their
spacing. The frequency of both lters track the main frequency.
CLOCKED NOISE
This model generates random samples at a given rate, determined by the main pitch
control. TIMBRE controls the periodicity of the generator (up to a 2 samples cycle), and
COLOR its quantization level (from 2 distinct values to 32 distinct values).
GRANULAR CLOUD / PARTICLE NOISE
These granular synthesis models create natural textures by mixing short grains of win-
dowed sine waves (CLOUD) or short decaying “pings” (PARTICLE). The frequency of
the grains is controlled by the main frequency control, but is randomized by an amount
proportional to the COLOR control. TIMBRE controls the density and overlap of the
grains.
