Wobbler2

Advanced LFO & Drum Synthesizer

Wobbler² is an advanced LFO & a drum synthesizer. This is our original Wobbler with an upgrade!

The Wobbler² still is the LFO that adds controlled chaos to your sound and has five shapes, two of which are based on physical modelling. These five shapes now have five corresponding regions of drum. Wobbler² still gives you direct visual feedback of your CV output.
You can see the LFO wobble and the drum hit.

ADVANCED LFO MODE
A classical music instrument always contains some natural chaos giving depth to its’ sound. In synthesized sound usually you have to make a choice between being in complete control of a flat sound or allowing randomness to run wild and give it character. We have used fresh takes on classical LFO generation and physical modelling as a modulation source so that Wobbler² can give you the best of both worlds – naturally occurring chaos that you can control.

With the SHAPE knob you select between five shapes
Basic LFO
Self-phased LFO
Twang
Double pendulum
Sample-and-hold
The MOD knob controls shape specific modulation
The big FREQUENCY knob changes the speed at which it oscillates
The SYNC input will change the FREQUENCY knob into a sub-divider of the incoming tempo
The PHASE knob controls the phase difference between the two outputs
SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
The TRIGGER button can reset the phase of the LFO or restart the algorithm depending on your SHAPE selection
Both outputs have a knob to alter or invert the amplitude of the signal
Both outputs also have their own trigger output – sending a trigger at the start of each new phase
The two LED arrays show you the generated CV levels of each output

DRUM SYNTHESIZER MODE
With the push of the BANG ON! button you shift the Wobbler² into drumming mode. Giving you a range of drum sounds, with five regions of recognizable drums and a lot to explore in between. There are multiple percussive sets with real and imaginary drums to bang on. Along with the drum Wobbler² provides the envelope or the negated envelope (ducking) and adds flexibility on the decay of both envelopes. Play with it, see how you feel.

With the REGIONS OF DRUM knob you select a region of 5 drum styles
Big drum
Block
Sproing
Snare drum
Hi-hat
The LENGTH knob controsl the sound or the silence
The ALTER knob controls modulation, which means something else for every drum synthesizer
The big FREQUENCY knob changes the pitch
The ACCENT input adds an accent
SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
The TRIGGER button bangs the drum
the DRUM output is where you find your sound and can distort or compress it with the knob
ENVELOPE output ranges between the normal and inverted envelope of your drum sound
Both outputs also have their own trigger output
One LED arm will show you when the drum hits and the other LED arm shows you the associated envelope moving
