this auction"outside, the afg presents the user with extensive panel controls for maximum flexibility and usability… inside, the pure analogue circuitry adheres to a strict design philosophy rooted in mid-1970s technology and construction techniques.
features:
8 simultaneous waveform outputs
a total of 27 distinct waveforms are possible
sub-octave with switchable square or sawtooth waveforms
unique animated pulse & alien saw waveforms
programmable ‘natural’ or ‘laboratory’ sine wave modes
alternate waveform set is activated on all outputs simultaneously with matter/anti-matter switch
select between 2 different anti-matter waveform sets via pcb jumper
9 cv inputs, each with dedicated attenuators, with the exception of the two 1v/oct inputs
2 fm inputs, both switchable between linear & exponential
dedicated sync in/out
harmonic animation
the harmonic animation section of the afg controls the harmonic content of the animated pulses & alien saws waveforms.
the animated pulses waveform is synthesized by four control parameters, each having a manual adjustment knob and cv input with dedicated attenuator:
positive pulse width modulation (+pwm) – controls the width of the two pulses on the top (or positive) side of the waveform
negative pulse width modulation (-pwm) – controls the width of the two pulses on the bottom (or negative) side of the waveform
positive phase position modulation (+ppm) – controls the relative phase position of the two positive pulses (in relation to each other)
negative phase position modulation (-ppm) – controls the relative phase position of the two negative pulses (in relation to each other)
the alien saws output is a bizarre, multi-toothed saw waveform that is derived from the animated pulses waveform. it’s harmonic content is also synthesized by the four control parameters of the harmonic animation section, but in different and more enigmatic ways.
expandability
the livewire audio frequency generator is designed with expandability in mind. there are currently 3 new modules in the works, which are intended to further expand upon the afg’s sound shaping capabilities:
x-mod controller - provides 4 channels of fully routable cross-modulation between 2 afgs… 2 channels in each direction. each channel features manually or voltage controlled modulation depth.
audio compositor - enables the user to coalesce harmonics from all 8 of the afg’s output waveforms into a single mono or 2 stereo outputs. eight channels of bi-polar, voltage controlled mixing determine amplitude & panning of each waveform in the stereo outputs or amplitude & phase inversion in the mono output.
flux capacitor - allows the user to select between alternate universes accessed through the inter-dimensional portal that is activated by the matter/anti-matter switch.
universe a is strange. universe b is even stranger. but we find that universe c is completely malleable. fortunately, the flux capacitor has been designed to provide panel-mounted manual and voltage controls over the fluid physics of this anomalous and pliable dimension."
