Reverb into waveshaping

video upload by Richard DeHove

"A single oscillator into reverb and then distortion and waveshaping - I thought the result might be a serving of noise mush. Instead I think it turned out surprisingly well defined. Sometimes it felt like a massive unison patch, othertimes like a wonderfully unstable test tone. All up a type of tone salad that I find satisfying to twiddle and relaxing to listen to.

The sidequest here ended with 'fluctiphile' - a word I've coined from the Latin "fluctus" meaning billow, flow or wave in motion and the Greek "phile" meaning love of or fond of. So "fluctiphile" is a lover of waveforms. An outrage that no such term was available. So the next time you're showing someone the wonders of a modulated square wave, or a perfect sine, and they express their appreciation you can then congratluate them on their good taste as a fellow fluctiphile.
