Dove Audio D100 WTF Demo

Published on Oct 13, 2019 davidryle

"Dove Audio D100 WTF Oscillator demo. A very quick rendering of the dynamic waveform animation possible with the Window Transform Function that the D100 does so well. It is very organic.

I used two step sequencers from sythesizers.com, three LFO's and a delay from Modcan to demo this. No filters or VCA's are used here."

CV controlled PONG in Eurorack

Published on May 4, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Now we all know that you get into Eurorack to play retro games and try to CV control them right? ... Here's a nice little Easter Egg (see Easter Egg link below if that's a new term for you) in the Waveplane Oscillator from Dove Audio. CV controlled PONG! So here's a ridiculous over the top FX chain processing the beeps, the "secret handshake" AKA how to set the knobs and get into the Easter Egg mode and just a bit of fun. Enjoy, support the module and grab it early on Kickstarter here - http://bit.ly/waveplane - PONG aside, check the links below to hear the oscillator it's very nice."

WTF is a Waveplane? Dove Audio Oscillator Explanation

Published on Apr 30, 2019 DivKidVideo

"So WTF is a Waveplane? Well the WTF (window transform function) and the Waveplane are both oscillators from Dove Audio that work with wavetables in the Eurorack (and MU/5U) formats. Here's an explanation of the how these two oscillators work to highlights the differences between the two and show how they both work.

Waveplane is currently on Kickstarter check it out with more videos and content here - http://bit.ly/waveplane"

Dove Audio Waveplane Oscillator *FIRST PATCH* // Eurorack Drones

Published on Apr 19, 2019 DivKidVideo

"Here's my first patch with the Dove Audio Waveplane Oscillator. It's droning away under modulation with the WTF Oscillator playing a melodic line against the drone. Plenty of FX but I take those off and show the Waveplane raw before building up the patch again."

Dove Audio Waveplane Oscillator Module for Euro or MU Modular Synths

Published on Apr 10, 2019 DoveAudio

Currently seeking funding on Kickstarter here. Dove previously brought us the WTF Oscillator.

Note this is a project from Paula Maddox, the woman behind Modal Electronics and previously Vacoloco.

"The Waveplane oscillator is a new dimension in wavetable synthesis. It allows 6 dimensions of movement for the output wave being generated giving unprecedented amount of motion in a wavetable oscillator. It's designed to fit in your modular synthesiser, either in Eurorack format or MU format.

How Does it Work?
The oscillator generates four simultaneous waveforms and, at its simplest, it lets you seamlessly morph between four different waveforms using the X and Y controls. Along with the X and Y controls having CV inputs, each of the four waveforms has its own wavetable, providing you with 6 dimensions of movement for the output wave being generated, giving unprecedented amount of motion in a wavetable oscillator.

32 Waveforms
Each 'corner' wave has 32 waveforms which are arranged in wavetables. There are, of course, the usual suspects - sawtooth, sine wave, triangle wave and square wave. The remaining 28 waveforms are all newly created to mimic certain types of sounds, like vocal formants, distorted waves, metallic sounds and many more.
You can select the waveform for each corner; each corner has independent control voltages enabling you to create incredibly rich sonic textures.

Wave Inversion
You can also invert the waveforms on the right of the or at the bottom of the waveplane, this lets you create more rhythmical wavetable style sounds.

CV Control of Waveforms
We've added the ability to change all four waveforms independently using control voltages. Used in conjunction with a sequencer or multiple LFOs, this gives you an incredibly powerful sound source full of previously unheard of sonic power."

Dove Audio WTF (Window Transform Function) Eurorack Oscillator

Published on Apr 9, 2019

"WTF stands for Window Transform Function and that is the type of synthesis used by the Dove Audio WTF oscillator. This type of synthesis works by running two wavetables in parallel as well as a window function. When the window is open one wavetable is heard and when the window is closed the other wavetable is heard. The wavetable function runs in sync with the two wavetables and can be run in single or double window mode. There are many wavetables and lots of CV controls on the WTF oscillator giving you lots of different timbral options.

Synthfest 2018 - Dove Audio WTF Oscillator in Euro and MU Formats

Published on Oct 9, 2018 sonicstate

"Dove Audio were showing their WTF Oscillator in MU (Moog Unit) large format modular - also available as Eurorack.

The WTF oscillator is a new idea that allows you to transform two waves, a front and a back wave, by opening a window from the front to the back, creating a new waveform based on the window size and shape."

Mega PWM / Superpulse Waves with 'WTF' from Dove Audio

Published on Jul 25, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's a simple technique with the WTF (window transform function) oscillator from Dove Audio to make a "mega PWM" (yes Nick Batt would be happy) or "super pulse" wave. It involved setting the front and rear waveforms to squares, invert the rear wave form, set the window control to be dual and then use and LFO to open up and modulate between the two square waves. Happy times.

You can support the project and grab a WTF eurorack or 5U/MU module from the Kickstarter here - http://bit.ly/wtfvco"

Dove Audio - WTF Prototype (first look at a new way to work with waveforms)

Published on Jul 13, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Paula Anne Maddox's new company Dove Audio have their new WTF oscillator prototype out for testing and I'm one of the testers. So I thought I'd share some video. WTF isn't what you maybe think it is as it stands for Window Transform Function which is a new way to work with waveforms/oscillators. In this video I go through the basics, what WTF is, some sounds and all the features. Future videos will be jamming around with various riffs and sequences. WTF is currently on Kickstarter waiting to be brought to life to Kickstart Dove Audio here - http://bit.ly/wtfvco."

New Dove Audio WTF Oscillator

It looks like Paula Maddox of Modal Electronics and vacoloco has a new brand and a new module in the works. Dove Audio is the brand and the WTF Oscillator is the module, currently on Kickstarter.

DivKid captured the following demo at this year's Brighton Modular Meet:
Dove Audio WTF Oscillator at Brighton Modular Meet 2018

Published on Jul 10, 2018 DivKidVideo

"Here's a patch from Paula Anne Maddox with her new WTF oscillator and company Dove Audio. It's a new unique take on working with waveforms and oscillators and will be launched on Kickstarter here - http://bit.ly/wtfvco.

This footage is from the Brighton Modular Meet on the 1st of July 2018. The event is held at the Attenborough Centre for the Arts at the University of Sussex. More information here - http://brightonmodularmeet.co.uk"

Some details on the new module from the Kickstarter campaign, for the archives:


"What is a WTF Oscillator?

WTF stands for Window Transform Function and this oscillator gives the owner a new and unique way to morph between waveforms. It's designed to fit in your modular synthesiser, either in Euro-rack format or MU format.

How Does it Work?
Remember when you used to go to the dentist and the receptionist had a sliding hatch that would open and say "Mrs Smith to see the Dr in room 3 please"? Well this is much the same, the "front" wave is represented by the panes of glass on that window, the rear wave is the cheery receptionist.

As you slide open the window in the front wave the rear wave can be seen in that window. You can open and close this window with CV control.

Here's an example waveform.

This creates a totally new waveform that could, for example, start with a sawtooth, then change to a square wave part way through, then go back to a sawtooth for the remainder of the waveform cycle.
All this can be done with full CV control, allowing you to route your existing LFOs, EGs and sequencers to any or all of the parameters.

Features
32 Waveforms + Noise
There are 32 waveforms plus noise in the module and you can morph between any two. There are of course the usual suspects - sawtooth, sine wave, triangle wave and square wave. The remaining 28 waveforms are all newly created to mimic certain types of sounds, like vocal formants, distorted waves, metallic sounds and many more.
You can select the front and rear waveforms with independent control voltages enabling you to create incredibly rich sonic textures.

Tuneable Noise
The noise is tuneable, when you enable noise for the rear wave you can adjust the frequency the noise is generated at, allowing you to go from a white noise to a retro 8 bit game console style noise.

Advanced 'PWM'
You can also set the rear window to be a DC level giving you the ability to create PWM like sounds with any of the 32 waveforms.

Wave Inversion
You can also invert the rear waveform which adds a whole new level of sonic capability to the WTF oscillator.

Dual Window Mode
We've also added a 'dual' mode to the window function, so you can change between a single window opening and closing or a dual window.

CV Control of Waveforms
Finally, we've added the ability to change both the front and rear waveforms using control voltages, used in conjunction with a sequencer this gives you an incredibly powerful sound source full of previously unheard of sonic power."
