Wave Terrain Eurorack Module - Patches Pt.1

video upload by Sam Carswell

"Some Eurorack patches I've made with the wave terrain module as a sound source. More videos to come showcasing it working as a modulator and its various other uses."

See the Carswell label below for more.

Wave Terrain Synthesis Module Audio Output

"Using the wave terrain module in 'fixed trajectory mode' as an audio rate oscillator. The output of the wave terrain module is sent through a VCA controlled by MI Tides running in envelope mode, before being sent to the output. The Synthstrom Deluge is being used to sequence the wave terrain module (1 V/Oct frequency modulation) and provide the gate for the envelope.

The terrain used in this video comes from the appendix of Stuart James' 2005 thesis, which can be found here: https://www.stuartgjames.com/research...

Unlike the 2DSINE terrain used in other videos, this terrain features a number of square-wave-like discontinuities at its edges. This can lead to sudden timbral changes when the trajectory wraps around to the other side.

The end of the video gives a close up of the screen, so you can get a better look at the trajectory. The fixed trajectory shows up slightly better on the video than the free trajectory point, but it's still a lot clearer in real life!"

Eurorack Wave Terrain Synthesis Module (New Terrain Test)

"Testing out what sounds I can get from a new terrain at audio rates. There's a few crackles and pops in there, the causes and solutions to which are explored in some upcoming writing about it. Will update the description once that's published. The interference sounds are coming from my phone being too close to my monitors...whoops haha"

Playlist:
Eurorack Wave Terrain Synthesizer Module - Part 1

Triangle LFOs running into the wave terrain module, which is acting as a multi-dimensional waveshaper, going on to control the pitch Braids

Eurorack Wave Terrain Synthesizer Module - Part 2

Wave terrain synthesizer module acting as an audio rate oscillator, with the trajectory's x/y position controlled by two lfos, and its scale controlled by a third. Output from module going straight to amp/scope.

Part of my masters thesis at VUW

Two LFOs being mixed and waveshaped via the wave terrain module, which is then controlling MI Braids (which is also quantizing the input)
