actual un-doctored footage of primitive wogglebugs at play!

2001-09-03 by drmabuce@yahoo.com

Hi all,
     Let me be clear:
    Grant put me up to this. Blame him. I posted 4 mp3's of wogglebug 
sourced sound in the "files" section. Only one of them "Bugs1" is 
intended as a composition in any way at all. The rest are "educated 
demos". All of the material is the very essence of the term "thrown 
together". Sorry for all the disclaimers but I'm notorious (with my 
band) for revising a piece of music for YEARS before releasing it. And 
THEN releasing re-works of it for another decade.

   In detail:
    Bugs1-stereo
    Bugs1 is a composition. there is some DSP (a Renaissance sim-plate 
reverb). The piece begins with a simple square-wave motif. The rhythm 
& pitch patterns are purely determined by the bug. This one my 
favorite of it's tricks. There are some sections that are produced by 
a "stinkbug" accessory circuit that I added to Grant's #3 standard 
circuit . It's basically a frequency divider driven by the Wbug 
output, processed by a variable cutoff & Q, twin-T, filter that 
originated with John Simonton and controlled by the Wbugs CV outputs. 
All of the sounds in this piece originate in the Wbug. This was a 
"hands-off" piece. All changes were cretated with control voltage 
modulations.

   Wogglebugdemo-stereo
    As the title implies, this is an expo of 2 of the Wbugs audio 
outputs the outputs are panned hard-left/ hard-right. On the left is 
the "ring modulated" or XOR'd output. On the right, is one of the 
"plain" square-wave outputs. This was not a hands-off piece. All of 
the sounds originate with the wogglebug. There is no DSP in the mix.

   Bug cv+a  -mono
    This is a little blurb that illustrates the bug's CV outputs. The 
droning sound is 3 Arp 2600 osc's into a stock 2600 filter. The bugs 
CV is controlling the cutoff. The piece crossfades (via mixolator) 
into a bug-CV-controlled Aries bandpass filter, filtering the bug 's 
own XOR'd audio output, and the cross fades back to the Arp. There is 
no DSP in the mix.

Bug cv+bug -mono
    Is the bug's CV output modulating an Aries lowpass filter 
processing the bug's own XOR'd audio output. There is no DSP in the 
mix.

Got all that!!!????
Ok… so if you have questions  please email me and I'll gladly use 
different overly jargonistic and  convoluted language to describe 
simple patches!  
I Hope this dispels (or exacerbates) any wild rumors about what a 
wogglebug does.
