An asymmetric triangle processed by a waveshaper and a wavefolder. Sounds familiar? That’s the same
signal processing chain as in Tides, when it runs at audio rate!
HARMONICS: waveshaper waveform.
TIMBRE: wavefolder amount.
MORPH: waveform asymmetry.
AUX: variant employing another wavefolder curve, as available in Warps.
Two sine-wave oscillators modulating each other’s phase.
HARMONICS: frequency ratio.
TIMBRE: modulation index.
MORPH: feedback, in the form of operator 2 modulating its own phase (past 12 oclock, rough!) or
operator 1’s phase (before 12 o’clock, chaotic!).
AUX: sub-oscillator.
Note: turn MORPH fully CCW to get the same range of sounds as BraidsWTFM. Turn MORPH fully CW
to recreate the same sounds as Braids FBFM. A gentler palette equivalent to BraidsFM is found with
MORPH at 12 o’clock.
Simulation of formants and filtered waveforms through the multiplication, addition and synchronization of
segments of sine waves.
HARMONICS: frequency ratio between formant 1 and 2.
TIMBRE: formant frequency.
MORPH: formant width and shape. This controls the shape of the window by which a sum of two
synchronized sine oscillators is multiplied.
AUX: simulation of filtered waveforms by windowed sine waves a recreation of Braids models.
HARMONICS controls the filter type (peaking, LP, BP, HP), with smooth variation from one response to
another.
