Muff's Modules & More

[fragilo]

My system is going will with oscillators, filters, sequencers, lfos etc but I feel I need a super module for effecting the audio.

The Oakley Discontinuity looks cool, I played with a proper Serge wave multiplier section and that was awesome

is there a module that is the end all and be all of wave shaping out there?

i just ordered a modcan dual freq shifter and their new delay (both digital)
but i think i need a very cv-able analog module that really incorporates a lot of different sections in one.

if you're into modcan check out the phase/timbre 06. you will have a wave processing power house between those three module!!!

I don't know if there is an Ultimate. I have the Modcan 06B, and 2 STG Wavefolders. I also use one of my Miniwaves a lot for processing.
They all sound good in their own way.
You and Ben and I should try and get our systems together soon!

I have a bunch of different wave folders, distorters, manglers, etc, but the one that I keep using because it has so much depth is the MOTM 510 wavewarper. As far as I know it's unobtanium new, but you might find a used one somewhere. Supposedly it's going to be redesigned soon, but we'll see about that.

I had good luck with the MOTM 510 as well. Sometimes the damn thing would be so frustrating though! I ended up parting with it. I go back and forth between regretting it.

I have the Oakley Discontinuity and it's very rad, especially good musical applications there..I am always on the hunt for wave processing. Must consult Dude on Modcan as I am torn between the CV recorder and the Scanner. Also interested in the Miniwave, but would wait to find a way to somehow build a 5U Megawave when the time comes.

MOTM 510 FTW, but it takes so much time to work with.

Doomsday machine, perhaps.

Yo D 4 sure man!

I know its a bitch to lug 5u kit around (fell less sorry for ben and his euro)
but my studio is the place to lay down some serious shit in a one nite stand

I've got my new label going, check out Idol Hanse

I think we can crank out a singular piece of ambient/noise/subliminal groove that would be great to release, plus I just want to celebrate life out the Hammer with my surviver homies!!!!

I have a MOTM 510 Wavewarper and a pair of S&TG Wave Folders. I love both modules but they are completely different. The 510 is a rather elaborate distortion device + ring modulator, whereas the Wave Folder is more similar in effect to the middle section of the Serge wave multiplier module, adding lots of harmonics and complexity to a sine or triangle input as you sweep it 'open'.

On the S&TG module, if you put the MIX control at about 9 o'clock and feed it a sine or triangle, you'll get an effect that is very similar to the Serge module or the "Wave Wrapper" module found in the Nord Modular. It's a really nice, clear, complex, slightly metallic harmonic sweeping effect. And I was really pleased to discover that other settings of the MIX control don't seem to just fade the effect in/out, they create all sorts of other interesting sonic variations.

The OFFSET control adds lots of additional sonic variation by adding a DC offset to the audio input, which makes the folds asymmetrical. You can also use the second input to mix a LFO or other control signal with the audio input, which effectively automates the OFFSET control.

NOTE: you may need to boost the osc signal a bit before patching it into the wave folder to maximize the sweeping effect.

Anyone have any experience with the Discontinuity?
