MetalBox CGS Ken Stone Wave Multiplier


via this auction

"Controls:

Folds manual and CV attenuator - sets amount of harmonic folding
Offset manual and CV attenuator - adds a DC offset prior to folding
Pulsewidth manual and CV attenuator - controls pulsewidth of pulse output
Grinder drive - Grinder input level
Grinder lag - alters harmonic content
Lockhart input level - determines level into Lockhart folder

I/O:

Inputs 1-2 - inputs to primary Wave Multiplier
Folds CV input - VC control of wave folding
Pulsewidth CV input - set PWM level
Offset CV input - add an external DC offset or another waveform
Folds output - primary Wave Multiplier output
Pulse outputs - squared up version of primary output
Grinder I/O - in and out to Grinder section
Lockhart I/O - in and outs of Lockhart section

Frac spaces: 3

Current draw: 50ma

Three independent Wave Multipliers that add intense harmonics to static waveforms. The primary multipler has voltage control over the amount of folding, waveform offset, and pulse width modulation. With two inputs, a huge array of sounds can be had. The Grinder adds "ringing" harmonics to any input, sometimes reminiscent to digital aliasing. The Lockhart folder is designed to warp a sine into harmonically rich waveforms. Think of these three Wave Multipliers as "anti-filters" dramatically adding harmonics rather than reducing them. Whilst the primary and Lochart multipliers are designed for use with raw waveforms, the Grinder is particularily effective on complex inputs such as drum machines."
