16 Mankato and WaveFolder show case
The Suit and Tie Guy WaveFolder has intrigued me ever since I got it. http://stgsoundlabs.com/products/wave_folder_mu.htm It’s a waveshaper that will twist and bend your waveforms beyond recognition. Using it with a single input isn’t very fun however, nothing much happens really (unless I’m missing something) but when you insert something of audio frequency into the control input it turns into a beast!
I also have the STG Mankato filter, a peculiar kind of low pass filter with no less than 8 outputs of different slope and phase. It has an extremely wide frequency range and can be turned into a multi-LFO when self oscillating. But it tracks nicely and can be used as a regular oscillator with sine wave output as well.
So in this patch I use the Mankato as sound source in self oscillating mode and use one output as the sound input to the wave folder. Then I use another, out of phase output, as the modulation of the wave folder. This creates some nice over tones. To spice things up a bit however, I put the modulator through a VCA and thus I’m able to control it’s amount with, say, an envelope. The effect is a sound with a sine base shape and added over tones as the envelope opens up. With regular settings of the envelope (no attack, slight decay, no sustain, slight release) I get a sort of low pass response.
