"This is a quick demo of the basic functions of my new module, the Waveslicer."
"The Waveslicer can be described as some kind of special waveshaper.
It can cut a wave into slices and move those slices up and down.
It simply does that by adding an offset at a defined point of the wave. This point is the threshold, set by the Pulsewave pot. The amplitude of the offset is set by the Amount pot.
So for example if you have a sinewave of 10Vpp (-5V to +5V) and set a threshold of 2.5V and an amount of 1V, it will add an offset of -1V as long as the wave is above 2.5V.
To make it all symmetric, all that is also happening on the negative half of the wave, which means that in this example you will also have an offset of 1V as long as the wave is below -2.5V.
To make it all a bit more interesting, this is all done twice at the same time, so there are actually two waveslicers working in parralel.
Also, every described parameter is fully voltage controllable with an attentuverter at every CV input.
All that is pretty hard to describe in theory, so I made up a little diagram to explain the functions of the module.
I will also add some videos in the next days which will make it even more clear.
I primarily designed this module as an audio waveshaper but it's DC coupled, so you can also use it for CVs. This can be a lot of fun, for example when mangling LFOs.
I have a working prototype which still needs some finetuning but I think I'm almost there.
Shane of X1L3 was so kind to make a panel for me. The final panel will probably look pretty much the same as in the first picture (thus aluminium colored with black text), but I think this looks nice, too!
If there is enough interest, maybe I can also offer a black panel.
This thread is under construction and I will work on it over the next days and weeks, especially add audio/video demos and stuff like that, but I thought it might be nice to involve you a bit by posting the information I have. So please feel free to tell me what you think about this/ ask questions if there are any confusions (I'm pretty sure there will be confusion, as I don't feel too confident about explaining this module)."
