Re: [wiardgroup] envelator: chaotic functions possible?

2001-10-09 by sdcurtin@monmouth.com

One of my favorites is to use the envelator as a voltage-controlled 
divider.  If you feed a 5v audio rate square or ramp wave, then change the 
rise time, you get subharmonics.  Grant also mentions this capability in 
one of the online Wiard manuals.

But wait, there's more!  Feed the output of this into the classic VCO or 
other syncing oscillator, you then get harmonics.  The combination of this 
is very usable just intonation.  For instance, for a frequency ratio of 
5/8, you dial up the 5th harmonic and the 8th subharmonic.  

For an example of this, check out:
