Warp
The warp circuit is the last step before the seed wave passes through the
wavefolder. Warp mode changes the shape of the waveform without
modifying the harmonic content or sound. This allows high harmonic
content waveforms like the saw and square to interact strongly with the
wavefolder. For lower harmonic content waveforms like sine and
triangle, warp mode can be thought of like an analog wavetable
creating an alternate version of each seed wave.
Wavefolder
The [TIMBRE KNOB] modifies a 6 stage wavefolder that adds additional
harmonics to both simple and complex waveforms by amplifying and
folding the waveform back in on itself. The [TIMBRE KNOB] controls the
strength of the wave folder. Turning the knob to the right increases the
depth and number of folds up to a maximum of 6 folds. The density and
depth of the folds has a strong effect on the shape and sound of the
seed wave. When using the [TIMBRE CV JACK] and [TIMBRE KNOB] the
[TIMBRE KNOB] acts as the starting point for the external modulation
control.
The [TIMBRE IN JACK] is the audio input to the wavefolder, patching into
this overrides the oscillator’s signal path into the wavefolder with an
external audio signal. This means the second oscillator or any other
audio signal can be patched through the wavefolder in place of
oscillator 1.
