MUTABLE INSTRUMENTS WARPS
Warps is a complex Meta-Modulator used to mingle, mangle, modulate, interpolate, and fuse two oscillators in basically every possible way. It contains seven different algorithms for modulation, with voltage control over the algorithm scan. Some algorithms are models of analog circuits while others are completely digital. The full list of algorithms are: Crossfade, cross-folding, digital model of analog diode ring-modulation, digital ring-modulation, bitwise XOR modulation, octaver/comparator, and a 20-band vocoder. There is also a Timbre knob, which provides a wide range of timbral effects per each algorithm, usually ranging from subdued to dense from low to high. The Timbre knob is also voltage controllable. There are two audio inputs for the carrier and modulator waveforms, both with built in VCAs. If one only has a single oscillator, Warps contains a built-in digital VCO with Thru-Zero FM. It can morph between Sine, Tri, Saw, Pulse and Filtered noise waveshapes.
Keep an eye out for Warps easter egg, a complex frequency shifter, as well as Warps Parasite, which adds a whole collection of new features.
WARPS FEATURES
Modulation Algorithm: selects which signal processing operation is performed on the carrier and modulator
Modulation Timbre: controls the intensity of the high harmonics created by cross-modulation
Internal Oscillator State: enables the int. oscillator and selects its waveform. The color of the LED depends on the oscillator waveform When the IOS LED is off, the int. oscillator is disabled and an ext. signal is used as a carrier
When an ext. carrier is used, this knob controls the amplitude of the carrier.
When the int. oscillator is active, this knob controls its frequency
The modulator amplitude knob controls the amplitude of the modulator. Note that gains above 1.0 can be applied, for a warm overdrive effect
When the int. oscillator is switched off, this CV input controls the gain of the carrier input
When the int. oscillator is enabled, it acts instead as a V/Oct control for the oscillator frequency
Modulator amplitude CV input controls the gain of the modulator input. When a signal is patched into this input, the amount of CV modulation is controlled by the Modulator amplitude knob
Algorithm CV input is added to the position of the Modulation algorithm knob
Timbre CV input is added to the position of the Modulation timbre knob
