 The Waveform City
module is a Classic VCO board with the addition of the digital waveshaping board. The waveshaper board is a DC coupled non-linear function generator with 256
different transfer functions (arranged as a matrix of 16 X 16) selectable under analog control. The input is swept linearly by the analog sawtooth output. The primary function is to act as a
PROM waveform playback unit.
This organizes the 16 X 16 matrix into "Waves" and "Banks". The Waves are organized into related 16 place "Wavetables". The position in the wavetable can be swept under voltage
control. An envelope generator can be used to produce sounds imitative of filter sweeps, pulse width modulation, ring modulation and classic digital sounds. Special circuitry
eliminates "clicking" on wave transitions. The non-linear function generator can also be used to process external sounds, whole patches and tracks.
The non-linear function generator also can act as a control voltage quantizer, taking a continuos 10 volt input and "remapping" it to various musical scales in a calibrated 1
volt per octave system. Additionally, non-linear synthesis is available and can replicate the function of modules usually called "Timbre Modulators".
The Waveform City module contains:
- A three waveform pure analog oscillator
- A digital non-linear function generator
- An Attack-Release Envelope Generator. The envelope is set by an internal jumper for either exponential or linear envelopes.
- A Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA)
- A jack multiple
The
Waveform City is available for US$CALL, and can be ordered on our
Purchase page.
