Wiard Mini Wave as a 3rd VCO

Wiard Mini Wave as a 3rd VCO

2000-08-26 by thomas white

Hello again,

forgot to mention that I got my Wiard Mini Wave module today in the 
grandious Frac Rak format. I am a little dissappointed with the quality of 
the silkscreen and the knob spacing is all tight for a three space fracker. 
But, this thing is a VERY cool addition to the MOTM and it makes all kinds 
of clavinet and pulse and random waveshapes. It can even be a quantizer I 
guess, or so it says in the manual. It has an EPROM base and it has 16 banks 
of 16 waves (256 total). There is a list of waveshapes on the wiard web 
page. The env select in lets you roughly snap between all of the 16 
waveforms in a bank like with an LFO or Env Gen.

Got mine prebuilt and tested (against normal procedure) for the kit price 
because the kit is not happening anymore and I was lucky enough to have 
pre-ordered. Pre built is $200 I think. Who will be the first to MOTM-ify 
this thing? Very nice timbres and smooth tracking as well. Not as low bit 
type of sounds as I would have expected, very quality.

PS. I think there is enough room to drill out the 1/8" jacks to add 1/4" but 
its up to you. The pots are the 16mm carbon cheapies but the application 
they are in is not as critical as say cutoff on a filter. The locking of 
waves and banks is very accurate as well so I can live with it. 
www.wiard.com as if it could be any less obvious

That would probably be me<g>. I have a Blacet delay on the way, and 
it will get the MOTM treatment also.
