WIGGLING 'LITE' IN GUEST MODE

[freeyerheel]

analog haven has these listed as in stock has anyone taken one for a spin or is there any info on what it sounds like? i couldnt find a post even saying thats it in stock anyhow just wondering what it sounds like and how people are liking it.

[Matos]

It's been unusually quiet about these, considering how loved harvestman is by many, including me. There's a demo in this thread,
https://www.muffwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47239&postdays=0&pos torder=asc&start=0
But I'd love to see a nice trash audio video demo.
Hint, hint...
Please

I just got mine today. Don't have a demo for you, but I think it sounds awesome.

[Mitchk1989]

can someone explain to me what makes the polivoks vco special compared to other analog saw cores?

[governor blacksnake]

The expo converter and thermostat circuit are the opposite implementation of the idea that everyone else copies from each other. Also, the triangle wave shaper is not calibrated and sounds nice and buzzy. It's more stable than you would expect, too.

[Starrefision]

in non-technical terms,
it's an aggressive growling monster.

[theabsent]

Anyone with scope shots yet?

[theabsent]

Does anyone actually have this module? Could you post some audio (raw waveforms)?

So, it's been another week. Anyone with scope? Yes, I will annoy you until I got what I want.

[untranslatable]

Gonna take the leap and grab one next week. Love the other polivoks module. Have to give it a friend

Decided to just go for it and ordered one. While waiting for it to arrive I'm still figuring out what all the knobs do.

What I think:

Top down/left to right
- coarse tune
- fine tune
- octave switch

- attenuverted exp freq cv
- 1v/oct cv

- attenuated lin freq cv
- big knob, not optically related to a specific input? (middle, right)

- sync
- pw / atten

Or should I get a course on cyrillic/russian?

[p3t0r]

Ok. Spent some time with translate:

част. грубо == freq. coarse
скважность == duty cycle

Guess duty cycle is for pulse width? Or does it also operator on the other waveforms?

[governor blacksnake]

It's the pulse width knob. The box includes a translated panel drawing and calibration instructions.

[p3t0r]

Had to much fun with my new polivoks to bother about clean waveforms:

.... a that is to bad... was planning to make some tonight. Would that add or take away frustration?

[p3t0r]

Made some samples of the raw waveforms:

I need another case...

[davidh]

here are my polivoks VCG waves.

The saw seems inverted in the p3t0r's screenshots where it looks like a ramp.

Also our triangle is different, mine is asymetrical, like a sin at the top and triangle at the bottom. Not sure if this is normal, but it sounds great.

My polivoks is calibrated on a recent monorocket mission 9.

I have added raw sound at the bottom of the page : https://www.infinitesimal.eu/synth/article21/the-harvestman-polivoks-v cg-demo











oh and there is a nice vintage component inside :

[Ted]

Wow. Those are some really interesting shapes. Far out.
