JH Wave multiplier

This module contains two different
waveshaper circuits that are inspired by the famous Serge wave multiplier. The
circuits were developed by Jürgen
Haible. You can read all about the circuits on his
homepage.
To both circuits I have added VCAs at the inputs. It is important to be
able to control the amplitude of the input signal dynamically, as the amplitude
affects the waveform totally.
On circuit A, which is based on JH
Shaper A, I have also added a VCA to introduce feedback in the circuit.
Feedback mainly causes the sound to get brighter.
Circuit B, which is based on JH
Shaper B, has a VCA to replace the
potentiometer in JHs circuit. This is the "Shape" parameter on my
module.
A three way toggle switch enables me to quickly switch between series and
parallel coupling of the two circuits. They can of course be used separately too.
The soundeffects obtainable from this module can be dramatic, especially if both
sections are connected in series. It can also sound surprisingly similar to a
resonant VCF.

Oakley Wavefolder

This module is based on a circuit
board from Oakley Sound Systems. You
can read all about the circuit on their homepage.
I just added some circuitry to make modulation controls bipolar. I also added my
signal indicator circuit.
The sound from this module is considerably more subtle that from the Wave
multiplier. The Wavefolder is maybe most useful for processong control voltages.

The large green circuit board is the Wavefolder board from Oakley.
