Subject: Re: [motm] Diode Waveform Shaper demo

Hello everyone,
I haven't had a chance to explore this module fully (I built mine this
week), but so far I'm very impressed. It can be used as a waveform animator,
or as a CV modifier like that of an Oberheim tracking generator.

Feature-wise, it's more complex than the Oberheim T.G.. There's more
adjustability for each stage in that you specify your own breakpoints, and
gain for each BP can be set pos or neg. There are modulation inputs and outs
for each breakpoint stage as well.

The module allows for a wide range of control over the input. So much that
I'm buying another MOTM mixer and quad LFO to help with it all. :)
