Braids WTBL 1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator Buchla - Wavetable Synthesis

Published on Jul 16, 2019 The Galaxy Electric

"The objective for this video was to morph through the different transwaves of the wavetables of the WTBL algorithm in the 1979 Dual Algorithmic Oscillator. The original circuit was designed by Émilie Gillet of Mutable Instruments in the Braids Eurorack Module.

The patch consists of random voltage being sent from a BEMI Buchla Music Easel to the pitch cv input of the DAO. The same random voltage is being used to slightly manipulate the timing of the Pulser which is also controlling a lopass gate from a 292r in combo mode. The cv of the modulation oscillator of the Easel is being used to animate the wavetable sweep of this algorithm. The delay effect is coming from a 4ms Dual Looping Delay who's timing is being synced to the same meandering Pulser. Notice how the random voltage is a looped sequence. It sounds quite melodic thanks to the ability to quantize to semitones in the DAO."
