Erratum - Re: Abstract synthesizing with Wiard-exclusive techniques...

2002-12-02 by skuehnl

I made a big mistake in my "3D timbre matrix" patch: the sine wave 
that selects the stages on the SEQ must of course be eight times 
slower than the pulse (or other) wave that triggers it, so it can't 
be from the same VCO.

(...Unless you use another WC, or a Miniwave, deploying the "binary 
rate multiplier bank"; Or unless you use an  Envelator as a rate 
divider; the sloped output should make for a nice SEQ select input as 
well.)

So to make the patch work like intended, skip to the end of my 
previous message, where I mentioned the alternative of adding the 
Classic VCO to the patch for variation. The original "3D patch" WILL 
work with this slight modification:

- Use the Classic VCO sine wave as the SEQ select input;
- Synch the WC VCO to the Classic VCO (a soft synch setting should 
suffice, we don't want to the sine wave on the WC VCO to distort) and 
make it three octaves higher.

(If the synch is left out and there is some detuning, the two waves 
controlling the SEQ will interfere and the SEQ output, but then you 
may like that?)

Another, smaller mistake in my patch was the use of an EG for the SEQ 
transpose input. Just leave it away. It will actually just introduce 
DC offset, not cause a function remapping like the WC's NLT board 
does.

Any more trouble shooting?
