AJH Synth V Shape (wave twisting, distorting and folding)


Published on Aug 30, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's the new AJH Synth V Shape. A wave twist and distortion unit. It offers skewing/PWM-like sounds that almost get to rectification and folding like tones up top and then underneath we get a soft or hard clipping distortion with an added soft wave folder. The device is on the slightly softer side which keeps it very musical without getting too harsh in it's shaping or distortion. Couple it with the Wave Swarm or Ring SM and there's a tonne of potential shaping from the AJH range.

TIMING INDEX / SECTIONS

00:00 Welcome, hello, patch previews "what's to come"

01:05 Features, wave twisting, PWM-like FX, distortion, soft/hard clipping and wave folding run down along with the routing options.

02:39 Shape/Twist sound demo - triangle waves (with and without modulation)

03:52 Shape/Twist sound demo - saw waves (with and without modulation)

04:16 Distortion/Folder demo - triangle wave and soft clipping "come make sine waves!"

04:40 Distortion/Folder demo - triangle wave and hard clipping

04:54 Shaper into the Distortion

05:30 Distortion/Folder demo - wave folding with Batman ears. Looking at both soft and hard clipping stages as part of the folding.

06:00 Modulation the distortion/fold and doing so up to audio rates.

06:48 Creating a weird shaping VCA. This uses the distortion section like a VCA and using envelopes we can get some quirky VCA like functionality. The shaper is used to make PWM-like FX.

09:43 Using the V Shape to twist, fold and distort LFO signals.

11:57 Shaping envelope CV signals

13:17 A distortion like FX device for processing drums. Drive, glitch and fuzziness comes out :)

14:58 A new piece of music to release from this thing! Using both processors in the unit as a parallel processing unit to create dual layers to spread around a patch.

17:32 Using the V Shape to twist and distort already moving/morphing waves. I use a lo-fi morphing wavetable at the input for even further modulation and animation.

19:14 Dual channel functionality. Using one side of this for bass sound and the other for a melodic lead line."
