New Wiard 311C Dual JAG Controller
"The 311C Dual JAG Controller is an updated version of the 311B "New Controller". A long time in the making, the 311C is packed with new features and improvements, providing the equivalent functionality of eight distinct modules in one streamlined unit (JAG (x2), Joystick (x2), Multimode Gate (x2), Quadrature LFO (x2)).
Dominating the 2U panel are two JAGs (Grant Richter's Joystick Axis Generator). These devices take two incoming X/Y voltage components and map them into various combinations, providing 10 different outputs. The outputs are represented by LED indicators. "Dome" represents proximity to the centre. "Edge" represents proximity to any edge. The JAGs can be controlled with the included joysticks (which are pre-patched to the JAG inputs), producing a movement on the JAG which follows the position of the joystick, and this is probably the easiest way to visualise and understand how the JAGs work with CVs.
The two joysticks can be used in either bipolar (±5V) or unipolar(0-10V) modes (polarity of joystick outputs will change to follow the JAG input polarity switch). Joystick voltage outputs are provided on the panel and can be used either in combination with or separate from the JAGs.
In the top corners, there are frequency controls for the two on-board LFOs. These output a sine and cosine waveform, with an extremely wide frequency range and provision for voltage control via a header on the underside of the main board. Sine and cosine can be patched to the inputs of a JAG for circular modulation at LFO rate (swap the inputs to reverse direction). Patching two different frequency LFOs to the inputs of a JAG will produce Lissajous shaped modulation! The LFO Cosine is pre-patched to the Gate input on each side, but this can be overridden by patching into the Gate input jack.
The multi-mode gate circuits will convert any input voltage to a 10V gate signal. Depending on the position of the mode switch, the gate will behave differently. In the centre switch position, the gate button is momentary, and will turn the gate on whenever it is pressed and keep it open as long as it is held down. The top position provides a repeat function when the button is held, gating at the frequency of the LFO (or external gate signal). The bottom position is a latching gate on or off function.
Removing a jumper link on the main board will switch to a second mode set (independent jumper for each side). In the second mode set, the centre position remains the same (momentary). The top "Repeat" position now allows the LFO or gate input signal to pass through the gate circuit and then to the gate output, regardless of button position, and if the button is pressed, the gate is held on. The bottom position becomes a latching gated repeat mode (press to turn on gated repeat, press again to turn off). For maximum flexibility, each side of the controller can use a different mode set, providing easy front-panel access to all five possible gate modes.
(DIY tip: An external switch could also be wired to the jumper pins for easy access.)
Features:
• Two JAGs
• Two Joysticks
• Two Sine/Cosine LFOs
• Two Multi-mode Gates
• Bantam (TT) or 3.5mm jacks"

"A dual oscillator built around two triangle core, wide range, periodic waveform generators. as a multipurpose signal generator, it can provide the basis of a wide range of complex sounds ideal for tuned percussion/noise, abrasive amplitude, frequency and timbral modulation. tones, drones, textures, and drums to atonal, nintendo zipper/fart noises. this module was made for fm madness.
The genxpander is an expander module for the generator. it adds standard waveform outputs, internal fm waveform selection, and extensive waveshaping capabilities to the generator module.
the genxpander has 4 separate sections.
Waveshaper:
the waveshaper circuit uses a triangle wave and square wave from one or both of the oscillators on the generator module to create a saw wave and a pulse wave. attenuated cv control of the pulsewidth and saw shape is available. a switch for the triangle wave and a swith for the square wave determine which oscillator the seed waveforms are taken from.
selecting the same oscillator for both triangle and square will provide a clean saw wave. selecting different oscillators for the triangle and square waves will provide a very interesting modulating, saw-triangle-square type waveform.
FM wave switch:
determines the waveform used by oscillator 1 (gen1) to internally modulate oscillator 2 (gen2). the generator ships with the internal fm set to the variable waveform. the switch allows the frequency modulation waveform to be changed to a triangle wave.
Standard waveform outputs:
Separate triangle and square wave outputs for both oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2)
Bad outputs:
An odd/even harmonic detector, frequency mixer & waveshaper. it inverts the polarity of the triangle waves based on the frquency relationship between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2).
Oe output:
Regular polarity oscillator 1 triangle if the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) is an even number. inverted polarity oscillator 1 triangle if the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) is an odd number.
Dif output:
Polarity of oscillator 2 triangle is changed at a frequency equal to the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2). if oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) are the exact same frequency then the dif output is the same as the oscillator 2 triangle output.
size: 8hp
depth: 35mm
attaching the genxpander to the generator:
the genxpander attaches to the generator using 2 ribbon cables attached to header 1 and header 2.
header 1 connects the power and waveforms of the generator to the waveshapers and outputs of the genxpaner. the ribbon cable attaches stripe down to header 1 on both the genarator and genxpander.
header 2 controls the selection of the waveform used for the internal fm of the generator. it replaces the jumper on the back of the generator with a switch. header 2 is a single row 4 pin header on both the generator and genxpander. the outside row of the ribbon cable attaches stripe down on the generator and stripe up on the genxpander. attaching this ribbon cable incorrectly will not cause damage to either module.
the genxpander receives power from the generator through header 1. the genxpander does not attach directly to a power supply."
