1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator WMAP Buchla Braids - Wavetable Synthesis

Published on Jul 11, 2019 The Galaxy Electric

"This is a tutorial demonstrating the experience of morphing through the wavetable map of the 1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator. This modular synthesis module is an adaptation based directly off of the brilliantly designed Braids module by Émilie Gillet of Mutable Instruments.

Here I am scrolling the X and Y axis separately and then together to give a sense of the 256 wavetable timbres achievable with just this one algorithm. The five note sequence is being generated from the Sequential Voltage Source of a 208e BEMI Music Easel. The occasional octave shifts are generated from the 218e Touch Activated Voltage Source. The reverb is the spring reverb from the Easel and the module is using its built-in VCA and Attack/Decay Envelope Generator."
