wow, that's great. congrats, grant. it seems that the wogglebug has fulfilled it's ambitions for hollywood stardom after the comparisons on the website to bebe and louis barron's fantastic planet soundtrack. who knew? i liked the suggestion of using it in a porno, though. i mean.

Every time I start to think I getting to know a wiard module inside and out grant points out some really cool hidden functions. Using the dual envelator as a boolean logic module is brilliant. thanks for the patch ideas! >From: "grantrichter2001" >Reply-To: wiardgroup@yahoogroups

The gate 1-8 outputs of the Sequantizer module are diode isolated so they may be "wire or'ed" at a multiple. However the gate signal does not go low with the clock pulse, this make it difficult to use two successive stages as a trigger for an envelope. By using the AND logic mode

Grant has posted terrific patch descriptions. I have to thank him twice, actually. That's because the dome filter line in the quad panning patch made me have a good laugh at my tedious "frequency shifter" patch in the "Wiard_hints" text. Actually, given one uses a custom waveform

The Mixolator module can be used as two simultaneous pan units. These can feed the left and right channels (for front and rear) in a 4 channel quadraphonic setup or 5.1 system. Another Mixolator panner can be used to pan between front and rear. The combination of the two modules

OK, one of the original functions of the SQR output on the Envelator was to act as mono-stable for making a gated ADSR envelope. That is if you have two Envelator modules, you can set up one as an ADSR and another as a monstable, this will give you a fixed gate time and allow you

I own both an Emu modular and an MOTM. I do not own a Wiard. Although I did have the opportunity a few weeks ago to see the biggest (or own of the biggest) Wiard systems; I was very impressed! Both Wiard and Grant Richter are HIGHLY respected in the MOTM community (and the Balcet
