: Wiard:
:
: The Omni filter can work as a phaser (allpass mode). It has
1v/o-calibrated
: and attenuatable exponential inputs, att. linear input (FM), either
positive
: or negative feedback, has outputs shifted by 360 degrees (two poles) and
by
: 720 degrees (four poles) and can be crossfaded into highpass filtering
mode.
:
: Frequency shifting can be realized to a limited extent if you have two
Dual
: Envelators, four (sic) Wavecities and two Mixolators: shape both
quadrature
: related Envelator triangle outputs to sinewaves, ringmodulate the
respective
: sine and cosine signals and add/ subtract for single sideband outputs.
: However the Envelators are controlled linearly for most of the audio
range,
: the sinewaves won't be perfect and the Mixolator ringmod function is not
the
: quietest around.
This is incorrect. Only 2 Wavecities are required: for a near sinusoidial (8
bit approximation) carrier. For sub-audio frequency shifts however (through
zero "barberpole" phasing effect), the variable triangular Envelator outputs
can be used withoput sineshaping. So all required for a limited range of
interesting frequency shift sounds (for example: FM the Envelator which
plays the modulator) is a double Wiard system.
End of addendum
SK
: Variable slope filtering (between 12dB/o and 24dB/o) can be done either
with
: a crossfade between the Omni two pole and four pole outputs (as mentioned
in
: the phaser reply), or with a crossfade of the two Dual Borg Filter outputs
: if they are patched in series.
:
: Each Envelator section can be used as CV divider. During the attack phase
: they do not retrigger so raising attack when the trigger input is a wave
: below 500 Hz will make the Env. output any whole number division of the
: input in length until the Env. maximum slope time is reached. (I don't
know
: what the output will be if the trigger is above this frequency.) There is
: not only a pulse output as with most other dividers (e.g. Serge) but also
: the slope output which is shape-stretched as the attack setting approaches
: the next whole number.
:
:
: You see, the Wiard is far more powerful than obvious at second or even
third
: sight. Also, one often is somewhat deceived by the "6-module-system"
: concept - owning a "double system" will multiply the capability by a
: trillion (as seen from the frequency shift setup for example). Grant has
: realized this by now and tries to lay off the system approach.
