Neat, thanks for pointing that out Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might patch the envelator to act as a lfo that takes a few minutes or more to go from peak to trough? The way I understand it patching it for exponential function just adjusts the shape of the attack/de
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

if anyone have some ideas whats possible with the envelator I'll be glad to try. Until now I used the envelator in a more traditional way. But I had great fun to feedback the envelopes (especially the decay-phase) to get them superexponetial. I also did that with my Blacet EG-1 (

I also think the comb filter is awesome. I was speaking with Grant and he mentioned the reason he was less than enthusiastic about manufacturing it was the effect it produced was too subtle. Grant, what if you modified it as a comb filter/ resonant equalizer whereby you could vol

Hmmm.... a vactrol based Moog Modular filter?!? That's truly twisted and wickedly wonderful at the same time. Makes everything sound like a tuba? Mmmmm..... tuba funk.... imagine the basslines! Grant, I'm not convinced that this doesn't have potential to be a success. R.

I think that comb filter is a great idea. Too bad it will never see the light of day. The Utility module shouldn't be abandoned because of Moog. I'm sure some people want utilities as part of their Big Blue. Of course you know, Grant, that I always liked the Boog filter, just fea

I uploaded faceplates for 5 modules that have been prototyped and tested. Note that there are no plans to put them into production, they are just for discussion. For example, the Utility Module competes with the Mooger Fooger product, but is much more expensive. So after Bob rele
