Analog Wavefolder for adding harmonically related overtones
4 HP Eurorack module
An analog Eurorack wavefolder that adds harmonically related overtones to incoming audio.
Features
- Produces odd harmonics, including the third, fifth, ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth overtones.
- With a signal patched to Fold CV, the Fold knob acts as its input attenuator.
- Remember: match the ribbon cable's red stripe to the Red Stripe mark on both the module and bus board.
Controls & Jacks (6)
- Colour— Sweeps through the overtone spectrum of the incoming audio, producing odd harmonics.
- Fold— Adds further harmonic content for a brighter spectrum; it builds on the Colour setting.
- Fold CV— Accepts 0–10 V control voltage for Fold modulation; envelopes and LFOs animate the timbre.
- Audio Out— Outputs the processed wavefolded audio signal.
- Bias CV— Accepts a -10 V to +10 V bias signal to positively or negatively offset the audio input; audio-rate signals produce FM-like timbres.
- Audio In— Accepts the audio signal to be wavefolded; expects a -5 V to +5 V range.
How-To Guides
- Create a vocal wavefold timbre
- Animate Fold with an LFO
- Create rhythmic gated timbres
