Livewire AFG

One more shot of the AFG. I just really like this shot. BTW, if you haven't checked out the Livewire site yet, do it. The AFG sounds amazing. Be sure to check out the feature set in full. This is an oscillator on steroids.

The following is a short excerpt:
"Harmonic Animation
The Harmonic Animation section of the AFG controls the harmonic content of the Animated Pulses & Alien Saws waveforms.

The Animated Pulses waveform is synthesized by four control parameters, each having a manual adjustment knob and CV input with dedicated attenuator:

* Positive Pulse Width Modulation (+PWM) –
controls the width of the two pulses on the top (or positive) side of the waveform
* Negative Pulse Width Modulation (-PWM) –
controls the width of the two pulses on the bottom (or negative) side of the waveform
* Positive Phase Position Modulation (+PPM) –
controls the relative phase position of the two positive pulses (in relation to each other)
* Negative Phase Position Modulation (-PPM) –
controls the relative phase position of the two negative pulses (in relation to each other)

The Alien Saws output is a bizarre, multi-toothed saw waveform that is derived from the Animated Pulses waveform. It’s harmonic content is also synthesized by the four control parameters of the Harmonic Animation section, but in different and more enigmatic ways. "

  4. From the Livewire site:

    "Turn around time for the first production run will be relatively short, as all Livewire products will be factory built from this point forward."

    Maybe in the near future all of their modules will actually be in stock?
