Another excellent resource for anyone just getting acquainted with the Woggle is the very informative pdf/manual(unofficial?), that Bill Sequeira(sp?) created. I think these can be found on the Wiard site? I got mine a long, long time ago so I\u2019m not exactly sure in terms of an URL. Bill starts out giving a general description of each of the Woggles controls, and then goes on to illustrate some really cool patches. If memory serves me right the patches solely use the Wogglebug. What\u2019s great about them is that each example really gives you a sense of how you got to where you are. But don\u2019t get me wrong.... I also love the \u201chow the heck did I do that\u201d aspect of the Woggle. But nothing beats having a fundamental understanding of it. Highly recommended.

The "Woggle CV" output jack can produce audio rate tones when the "Woggle Time" setting
is small or zero.
At small settings of "Woggle Time", the Woggle CV ouput produces a decaying sinusoid in
the audible range. If you lowpass filter it, you can get the plucked bass tones heard in the
original Woggle Bug demo.
At zero settings, the Woggle CV will oscillate strangely and produce harsh tones which
vary with the settings of the other controls.
So the Woggle CV outputs at some settings can be used as the 9th and 10th audio outputs
from the module.
The correspondence between the Model 265 Source of Uncertainty functions and the
identical Woggle Bug functions:
265 SOU label Woggle Bug label
Random Voltage Outputs Smooth CVs
Probable Rate of Change controls LFO Rate controls
Pob. Rate of Change Ext. jack Rate input jack
Stored Random Voltage Outputs Step CVs
Pulse Inputs ; Step CV Clock inputs
Correlation Controls Clustering controls
The original Model 265 Source of Uncertainty functions are all present and identical in the
Woggle Bug but have been enhanced by the addition of:
Smooth Range
Woggle Range
Woggle Time
Out 1 and 2
Disturb CV 1 and 2
Child Tones 3 and 4
LFO outputs
Smooth Tone outputs
Woggled Tone outputs
Woggled CV outputs
