WAVE PACKETS

PANEL OVERVIEW

The toggle switch position is used to determine the excitation mode (in conjuction
with the presence of a cable in the TRIGGER
This input is used to excite a wave packet. The presence of a cable in this
input is also used in conjunction with the EXCITATION MODE SWITCH
to set the excitation mode. Refer to MODES on p.4.
The 3 sliders draw out a contour function (linear segments from each T stage to
the next), also referred to as the 'minimal contour line'.
The glide control determines the fluidity of change in the 3
glide at the counterclockwise position, turning the knob clockwise will progressively
increase the width of the transition time about the T1/T2 and T3/T4 stage
boundaries, with a linear-sounding glide always ensured.
CV Input with attenuverter for D (depth) parameter. Adds or subtracts to each of
CV input (1V per octave) modulation of oscillator frequency - a global frequency
shift to the entire wave packet. If in AUDIO frequency mode, plugging a cable in
to V/OCT will semitone-quantise the frequency selection on the 3
If F-SYNC is also used, V/OCT will modulate at 1V per octave from the
frequency (plus the pitch offsets added to this from the 3
5 main outputs (3 unipolar and 2 bipolar). Output 1 (leftmost) provides a direct
feed from the contour function, output 5 (rightmost) provides a direct feed from
the oscillator, and the remaining 3 outputs use the contour function to sculpt the
oscillator output in to various wave packet forms. Refer to the outputs
Wave Packets is a multi-talented complex modulation and audio source. The module allows you to craft 'wave packets', with each of
the 5 main outputs deploying a different recipe from the contour function (linear segments between each time stage) and frequency-
dynamic oscillator (LFO or audio-rate oscillation which transitions through 3 target frequencies) to produce a unique modulation shape,
burst of energy, or fragment of audio.
Times for the 4 T stages. Max time is 10s, and min time
is 0s (completely skipping the stage). If in CYCLE-PING
excitation mode or LINKED LFO mode, the T knobs have a
different functionality (refer to MODES on p.4/ p.5).

Tapping the button will toggle between LFO and AUDIO frequency modes, with the respective LED lighting to indicate the chosen mode.

The module's oscillator traverses through 3 target frequencies during the course of
a wave packet, represented on the module panel from left to right with 3 colours:
green (T1), blue (T2, SUS, T3) and purple (T4).
- In LFO frequency mode, the 3
each centred at 4 Hz and spanning 5 octaves either side. Each LED above the 3
F knobs flashes a sine wave pattern at the corresponding rate.
- In AUDIO frequency mode, the middle (blue)
centred on note C3 and spanning ±5 octaves, and the left and right
starting/ ending ± pitch offsets to the middle base frequency. Therefore a
frequency transition profile similar to a pitch envelope can be constructed,
trackable in pitch using V/OCT. The 3 LEDs represent frequency using a colour
spectrum, and show the relationship between the 3

A tempo/ clock signal, LFO or audio oscillator output (primitive waveform shapes
only) can be plugged in to this input to clock in the oscillator frequency. In LFO

frequency of the wave packet will be set by F-SYNC plus a pitch offset to the
F-SYNC frequency set by the middle

EXCITATION MODE SWITCH to the up (CYCLE) position will activate CYCLE-PING excitation mode.
