The CV outs on the early modules swing ground to 15volts. On the later ones it was tamed to 10 volts, but through adding you could still get it up there. mark (i think you can figure that out) wrote: > if those have sufficient CV outs (don't > >>remember off the top of my head).

you are right, but I think that it only makes sense if the starting point is linear as in the Wiard, Serge, Buchle envelopes. mark (i think you can figure that out) wrote: > slope-shifting >abilities, >> > >Yes, this is a great feature indeed. I think the Modcan also does >it. >

Hi Dave, "different" is correct. (see? there u go thinking again!) the published #3 standard wogglebug is not, strictly, component-for-component, the same circuit as the 300-series dual-wogglebug. I didn't mean to imply that. (beastly sorry old chap!) But the #3standard Wbug does

2002-12-04 by jrbulldogge
I think we've already seen a few of what might be in the 1200 style of modules. The joystick and noise ring are official 1200 modules, but I would think that the Blacet/Wiard Miniwave is sort of a proto- 1200 module. It's frac-rack format, it basically is a single- function modul

So Grant, Would you mind giving us an "overview" of what's to come in the 1200 series? Modules that collectively will make a complete system? Weird and cool modules that will make great add-ons to other systems, like more "Noise Ring" thingys?? What, exactly? Just gotta figure ex

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 th
