Sphere Navigation - Depth, Latitude, Longitude, Browse, Dispersion - 4ms Company Spherical Wavetable Navigator User Manual

Sphere Navigation – Depth, Latitude, Longitude, Browse, Dispersion
Outer ring color = Position within Sphere
Channel C
Channel B
Channel A
shows which group of lights correspond to each channel. The amount of red hue indicates the position in the
Depth direction; the green hue corresponds to the Latitude; the blue hue corresponds to the Longitude. For
example, if your SWN's lights matched the diagram, then each channel will be playing a different waveform since
each color is different. If you held down Channel A's button while turning the Depth knob, Channel A's lights would
become more red and begin to match the purple color of Channel E. This would indicates that Channels A and E
were playing similar waveforms.
Depth (knob and CV jack)
The Depth knob and CV jack control the position within the Sphere in the Depth dimension.
The red hue of the lights in the light ring will change as Depth changes. Applying CV from 0V
to +5V will offset the position selected by using the knob. Holding the Fine button while
turning Depth will adjust the Depth by small amounts. Holding down one or more Channel
button(s) while turning Depth will adjust only those channel(s).
Latitude (knob and CV jack)
The Latitude knob and CV jack control the position within the Sphere in the Latitude
dimension. The green hue of the lights in the light ring will change as Latitude changes.
Applying CV from 0V to +5V will offset the position selected by using the knob.
Holding down the Fine button while turning Latitude will adjust the Latitude by small
amounts. Holding down one or more Channel button(s) while turning Latitude will adjust only
those channel(s).
Longitude (knob only)
The Longitude knob control the position within the Sphere in the Longitude dimension. The
blue hue of the lights in the light ring will change as Longitude changes. Holding down the
Fine button while turning Longitude will adjust the Longitude by small amounts. Holding
down one or more Channel button(s) while turning Longitude will adjust only those
channel(s).
Browse (knob and CV jack)
The Browse knob navigates in a zig-zag (or "snake") pattern that covers the entire Sphere.
Applying CV from 0V to +5V will offset the position selected by using the knob. Holding down
Fine while turning Browse will adjust the pattern by small amounts. Holding down one or
more Channel button(s) while turning Browse will adjust only those channel(s).
Browse
Dispersion (knob and CV jack)
Dispersion is controlled by pushing and turning Depth knob. It effects all channels by
navigating each channel in a different combination of directions, as if all the channels were
moving away from a central point on the Sphere. Dispersion wraps around the Sphere, so if
Dispersion
you keep turning the knob, all the channels will start moving towards each other. Applying CV
from 0V to +5V will offset the amount of dispersion. Holding down Fine while turning
Dispersion will adjust the Dispersion by small amounts.
Dispersion Pattern (knob and CV jack)
Dispersion Pattern is controlled by pushing and turning Latitude knob. It selects one of
several patterns of directions that Dispersion moves the channels. Applying CV from 0V to
+5V will offset the pattern selection.
Dispersion Pat.
A Sphere is a collection of 27 waveforms arranged in a
3x3x3 shape. A Sphere can be navigated in three directions:
Channel D
Depth, Latitude, and Longitude. Navigating in a direction
"wraps" around to the beginning when it reaches the end.
Each direction has three waveforms, and navigating in any
direction morphs between whatever waveforms are passed.
Channel E
Although a Sphere contains 27 waveforms, there are
virtually infinite number of waveforms you can create just by
navigating.
The position of each channel is roughly shown by the color
Channel F
of the lights in the outer light ring. The diagram on the left
