5 Eurorack patch ideas with the Wavefonix W100 Modular Synthesizer

video upload by DivKid

"Here we have 5 patches for Eurorack Modular Synth systems that I’m exploring with the Wavefonix W100 6U system. These patches are applicable to many modules, systems and multiple formats so try them out with what you have.

Join us for an exploration of modulating filters with oscillators, using free running LFOs to shift wavetables and bit crush FX, layering ring modulation tones, chaining FM and AM “operator” style, percussion synthesis tips and using multiple envelopes for layer more complex modulation.

This video is also an exploration and somewhat casual demo of the Wavefonix W100 system. We overview the modules included and get a feel for the sound and patch potential throughout."

W100 Modular Synthesizer (6U/104HP)
Our 6U, 104HP W100 Modular Synthesizer is an excellent, compact system for the studio; offering a good balance between versatility and portability. It features the essential modules that you would expect from a small studio setup, but with a broader range of modulation and sonic possibilities over the smaller W314, along with sequencing capabilities from our 8-Step Sequencer.

The system is housed in an elegant, solid walnut 6U, 104HP case. Also included is a premium integrated PSU from Konstant Lab.

Included in the system are the following modules:

1 x MIDI Interface (MIDI)
2 x 3340 Dual Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
1 x 1847 Wavetable VCDO
1 x 6-Channel Linear Mixer or 6-Channel Audio Mixer
1 x 2140 Low-Pass Filter (LPF), 2144 Low-Pass Filter (LPF) or 3320 Low-Pass Filter (LPF)
1 x 3310 Envelope Generator (EG)

Wavefonix W314 First Jam & 1847 Wavetable VCDO Sound Demo

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"Just got the W314 from Wavefonix plugged in and here's a recording of my first patch. The two 3340 oscillators are being sequenced by the Wavefonix 8-Step Sequencer and the Wavetable oscillator is getting two notes from a Varigate 4+ (both off-camera). There's some reverb on the output module. Otherwise, it's all the W314. More to explore!"

Wavefonix 1847 Wavetable VCDO sound demo

video upload by Molten Music Technology

"The 1847 module is part of Wavefonix's W314 Eurorack system and here's a handful of minutes of moving knobs and enjoying the sorts of sounds it produces. There are 16 waveforms in the main oscillator with 8 in the sub-oscillator over 4 octaves. The main oscillator morphs whereas the sub switches which gives it an interestingly different effect when modulated."

Wavefonix Poly-8: Epic 8 Oscillator Adventure

video upload by Molten Music Technology

Module specs below.

"What could you do with 8 oscillators in one epic module? The Poly-8 is the start of Wavefonix's journey into polyphonic modular and in this huge video I explore a range of possibilities from unison to FM, 4-voice to 8-voice and the sort of polyphony/paraphonic meddling you can do when you don't have enough modules to run a full 8 voices.

Thank you to Wavefonix for sending the Poly-8 to me in the hope I'd do something interesting - I didn't know it would take over my life.

It's a long one but I wanted to properly show what I was doing and how it sounded. You may find this index useful.

he Poly-8 VCO module is one of a kind. It is a premium polyphonic oscillator bank, comprising eight CEM3340 (Rev. G) VCOs in a clean, compact and ergonomic design. Each VCO features a vast range of modulation capabilities, including hard sync, PWM, 1V/octave and exponential/linear FM.

Each VCO provides simultaneous ramp, triangle and pulse waveform outputs.

The authentic CEM3340 architecture offers an instantly recognisable, rich analog sound found in many famous synthesizers from the past, such as the Prophet 5 etc.

Features
Premium polyphonic oscillator bank comprising eight CEM3340 (Rev. G) VCOs.
Three simultaneous, buffered 10Vpp (±5V) waveforms per VCO, including DC-coupled ramp, triangle and pulse outputs, with controllable PW and PWM CV inputs (0V to 10V). Pulse output is derived from the CEM3340's triangle waveform using external circuitry.
Individual coarse and fine frequency control knobs provide an adjustable frequency range of more than ten octaves (approximately 8Hz to 16KHz) for each VCO.
Each VCO has a wide range of modulation inputs; including hard sync (comparator-based), PWM, 1V/octave and exponential/linear FM (switchable).
Ergonomic design.
Hand-built and tested in the UK.
