Complex Oscillator Patch (Z-3000 VCOs, two A-110 Standard VCO)

Published on Jan 16, 2014 inbetweenmovements·58 videos

"This is a demo of a complex oscillator patch.
Carrier is the Tiptop Audio Z-3000 VCO Version2, Modulators are two A-110 Standard VCOs.
One A-110 VCO is routed in the wave shaper CV of the Z-3000. the other A-110 VCO modulates the frequency of the Z-3000 (Linear FM). The resulting modulated triangle and sinus wave of the Z-3000 can be cross mixed (morphed) through the Nord Modular. The wave can also be shaped with the wave wrapper module of the Nord Modular.

In the next video the signal is routed back in the Doepfer A-100 and shaped with the A 140 envelope generator, sequenced with the Urzwerg and delay is added.

No additional effects, no filters."

WMD Coming to NAMM with the Sequential Switch Matrix & More

via WMD:

"January 14th, 2014: The long awaited Sequential Switch is in production and shipping just in time for the NAMM show. Come visit us at the WMD Booth 1076 in Hall E at the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA on the 23-26th of January! We will be showing some yet unanounced stuff that will surely blow a few minds."

Specks are also in for the Sequential Switch Matrix as follows:

"Introducing the WMD Sequential Switch Matrix: Our take on an essential module.

Four inputs can be routed with individual buttons to four outputs. Those routing settings are stored in an array of matrices that can be sequenced or controlled with CV. Preset routing, feedback loops, chop sequences, trigger blasts (with expander), four-bit-wavetable-synthesis, and dramatic controllable mayhem are all possible

Features
Four Input Four Output Routing
Inputs Mix to Outputs
16 Matrices per Bank
20Vpp Headroom
Signal Strength and Polarity LEDs
Comparator Input and Outputs
Simultaneous CV and Gate Control
Four Banks With Separate Settings
Randomizing Functions
CV Controlable Top Matrix
Can Slave to MIDI Control Change
26kHz Maximum Switch Frequency
8 Bit DAC Voltage Output
Skiffable PCB Design
16 HP
+80mA/-32mA Current Consumption"
