hi all

got some queries on the modulation orgy:

anyone know if it morphs between the wave shapes when you CV the wave shape? or does it step between them? ....if it steps, are there glitches or anything when it does so?

am seriously considering this, but could do with knowing a bit more about how it works first.

basically - if you sent a slow AR envelope from Maths into the waveshape CV input, what would happen?

in fact, what would happen with the divisions too? would it suddenly change from one to the next, and if so, does it do so in time with the sync pulse that is coming into it? ....would be a bit weird if it suddenly jumped to the next division/ multiplication in a random place....but i'm guessing it would do it on the next available clock/sync pulse after crossing the "threshold" for the next one.

any help welcome

nobody got one then?

I don't have the mod orgy, but I have the PEG.

I actually don't know, as I haven't tried it yet. Ill give it a shot. I *think* its continuous, but will have to check.

IIRC, I think I read somewhere that the waveform changes are not continuous on the Orgy. I'd love to be wrong, though.

On the peg you can modulate skew and curve to all hell and never change the time of the envelope length.

i was thinking about getting one of these. is it alot different than the dalek modulator from livewire??

Hi mattech... I'm curious about this as well, I got one recently and believe it morphs, but perhaps you could tell me what to look for or how to test it I would gladly run some trials and see what happens so we can get some answers.

Well, you could try the following:

Put a clock into the sync input.

The get a reasonably slow sine wave and stick it into each of the cv inputs in turn (set the manual controls on the right hand side to 12 o clock, so that it can sweep the various parameters in both directions)

Then just note whether it suddenly changes wave shape/ division.....or whether it gradually morphs from one setting to the next.

Am guessing that the divisions (called multiplication I think, coming to think about it..) Will suddenly change, once the cv Voltage passes through the threshold between them.....otherwise it'd just be another vc-lfo, and I think the selling point is that it is always in musical divisions/multiples of the clock. The waveshapes might morph gradually though....will be interesting to find out

According to Mr. Slocum,

Just tried it and ^^^^^ is correct... This module is MY ASS IS BLEEDING

Lakbra · Posted: Sat Mar 10, 2012 3:01 pm Post subject:

it seems to step on the other settings as well... only morphs on wave distortion from what I could tell

matttech · Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 5:06 am Post subject:

does it change waveform on a clock pulse, or simply whenever the cv source makes it change?

any more info on these questions? curious as well.

they're sold out from AH.. i think they're on ebay though.

i played with it at schneiders and didn't get on with it at all....too jerky in its changes for me

i have one! fun module.

the waveforms are largely PIC lookuptables i think so yes the changes between waveform types and frequency multipliers are discrete.

this is good news for rhythmic speed changes and maybe not so good for morphing the waveform types. depends what youre after of course.

morphing distortion is continuous
