OUT Jack (right side) General Info Synthrotek’s FOLD is a combination Wavefolder and Ring Modulator. The FOLD changes the shape of a waveform in order to create harmonics and find new timbres and sonic palettes. The Ring Modulator circuit mixes two waves together to make metallic, bell-like tones, big bass lines and Dalek sci-fi robotic sounds.

Bill of Materials Powering Up your Module Turn off your modular system before plugging in your FOLD module. Plugging in your module while the power is on (“hot swapping”) can damage a module. Plug a 10 to 16 pin power cable into the module and then into your power supply, aligning the stripe of the cable with the STRIPE indicator on the power supply.

Front Panel Controls and Jacks Ring Modulator The ring mod circuit only uses the three bottom left jacks; none of the other jacks or controls apply to it. ● Patch two audio signals into IN 1 and IN 2. ● Patch the output into a mixer; the two signals should combine together. Some frequency combinations will sound better than others, so mess around with it a bit! Wave Folder ...

● You can use the OFST to clip the wave. Moving it to extremes can result in clipping, which can be used to create a distorted effect. MIX ● The MIX pot is a true wet/dry blend of the dry input signal and the wet wavefolded signal. ●...

WAVE FOLD Jack ● The input waveform to be folded. Sine and triangle waves are a great place to start. CV over LVL Jack ● The CV input responds to both positive and negative voltage. When the LVL pot is at 0%, 0V to +5V will emulate the full travel of the pot.
