"Waver is a fully analog, wave folding mixer and signal disruptor inspired by experimental mixing techniques and mind-melting drones.

I/O
Waver has 7 inputs for mixing and modulating multiple signals. On the output side, it has a shape output and a pre-shaper mix output. All inputs and the mix out are DC coupled, meaning that the waver can also function as a powerful CV mixer with built-in offset, inversion, modulation, and feedback capabilities.

Mix
The mixing stage consists of A, B, and C inputs with dedicated faders and 2 bi–polar VCAs with attenuverting CV control. Add, subtract, wave.

This interface not only gives you total control over your signals but also invites you to find the unexpected sweet spots and surprising relationships that can emerge between them.

Shape
Mixed signals are then processed in the SHAPE section, its pallette relying on a wavefolder and square shaper. By employing threshold clipping and folding operations, waver expands your sound’s harmonic complexity and allows you to tweak patches up, down, squareways, and beyond. Experiment with the dynamics of incoming sounds to explore their shaped behaviors. Find reflections and dead zones between your inputs – or just refresh your unused oscillators and give them a new voice.

Break
Like all Casper x Bastl collaborations, Waver shines in the realm of feedback, distortion, and general sonic mayhem. Whether you want to muzzle your sound or make it snarl, the break control helps take you there. Proceed in any direction you desire or let waver lead the way – all sounds are beautiful ;)

Features
3 input mixer
2 bipolar VCAs
wave folder
square shaper
pulse width modulator
signal clipper & feedback
2 outputs pre and post shaper"

Modor DR-2 Drum Machine Clap through Boss DD8 GLT Mod for Techno Glitchy and Chaotic Delay.


video by Sound Provider

"Hello,
I am testing here a new sound design combo for my next tracks , Live act , sound bank for sound provider (https://www.sound-provider.eu/​ ) and also for fun .
The New DD-8 GLT delay mode created glitchy machine-gun effects when the pedal switch is pressed.It s quite fun to use and add little chaos and Glitch effect , I think it will be fun to use it in my next live show in addition to the other mods I already use. I use it here with the Beautiful digital drum machine from Modor , the DR-2.
For info about the mix I added a very very little bit of reverb on the clap and some EQ and compressor on all the percussions.

Voila , I hope some of you will find this video useful and that you will enjoy it.

Xiu Xiu Explore Hideous Sound Design (No Talking)


video by Perfect Circuit

follow-up to this post.

"During their recent visit to our studio, Angela Seo and Jamie Stewart from Xiu Xiu showed off a number of ways to make sounds that were as hideous and disgusting as possible. After filming with all of their varied setups, we ended up with way more sounds than we could cover in just one video. While our main video provides some valuable artistic insight into their processes and choice of equipment, we wanted to share a glimpse into their sound crafting without interruptions.

In their first jam, Angela sculpts feedback loops with a collection of her favorite pedals from Earthquaker Devices, Boss, and Death by Audio, while Jamie helms the mixer and Trogotronic’s Valykrie, a modified test equipment oscillator. Next, Angela switches over to her Waldorf Streichfett, while Jamie moves to a couple pedals of his own: Death by Audio’s Echo Dream 2 and Benidub’s DS71 Dub Siren. Angela and Jamie then both perform some solo Eurorack patches, and Angela closes things out with a solo performance on her Streichfett and pedals.

Sit back, grab some headphones, and lose yourself in the depths of Angela and Jamie’s noise, chaos, and unpredictability.

Metallic sounds on subtractive synths (Yamaha EX5)


video by Floyd Steinberg

"I got some comments and mails recently asking how to create metallic sounds. As I've already done a video on how to do that on an FM synth, here's an attempt at doing something similar on a subtractive synth. Table of contents below. If you want to know more on this subject, please read https://www.soundonsound.com/techniqu...​ and it's follow-ups. The more oscillators and filter types your synth can throw at you, the better the result!

00:00​ hello
01:16​ oscillator setup (square waves)
01:47​ tuning oscillators
02:34​ applying high pass filters
04:16​ applying band pass filters
06:27​ amp envelopes for higher frequency oscillators
08:10​ amp envelopes for lower frequency oscillators
09:24​ resulting sound 1
09:50​ adjusting the overall sound by adjusting the volume of the oscillators
10:50​ combining two patches to create a metallic sounding pad
11:35​ resulting sound 2
12:09​ bye-bye"
