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
