Wavetable VCO with morph from A to B. Does it exist?

Plugins & Modules

hello, i played with polysevenseas2 and it worked good. but i do not understand some knobs:

  • what does the swirl knobs do? i hear something different if i move the knobs, but there is no description.

thanks Karl

22

another question: i found out, that Harmonic Convergence from frequency domain Frequency-Domain-Manual/README.md at master ¡ almostEric/Frequency-Domain-Manual ¡ GitHub could also morph spectrum from two wavetables. as far as i read and understood the manual, it works with fft and resynthesize with up to 36 osc. does anyone knows, how to use it or if it is working good? thanks Karl

23

if you discover, let me know !

(there is no swirl but swarm)

(swarm mode is MULTIPLE VCO MODE)

from 4 to 24 swarmers (that are extraoscillators running, per voice)

swarm pots are: the first, to set the main value, the second one as VCA for the VC input

swarm freq is how much the frequency will spread in the swarm swarm pw is the spreading of the pulse width swarm wave how the swarm is distributed on the single wavetable swarm bank how much the swarm is morphed with other banks

24

sorry, you are right. i meam swarm😉

swarm pw means, that if i’m in the middle of one wavetable, how much swarm goes to the start and end of the wavetable. correct?

swarm bank controlls how much swarm goes to other banks. in my case the other one. correct?

how could i control the count of the swarm osc?

thank you for the info. Karl

uups, ok found it. another question: why does the resulting sound differ, if i switch swarm on /off? if i push it several times, the sound is always different.

27

My guess is the phase of the generated number of VCO change each time you push the on/off button.

thank you, yes that’s possible. but because i do not understand what swarmers do exactly, it is a little bit nebulous.

29

they are around the main Oscillator

to understand, connect just the SevenSeas to audio
set all modulation to ZERO (pots)
set the number of swarmer
activate “swarming”

now move the main pot of “swarm freq” and you’ll get the chorusing effect:
the swarmer are deviating from the main frequency of the main VCO

now add modulation to swarm freq
use an LFOmultiphase, set to sine mode, set a freq of 0.03Hz and decrease SCALE to 0

increase slowly and you notice the movement of chorusing

and so on

Sorry Antonio I did not see you were posting, but this was my take on it :

It’s like detune on f.i. the wavetable VCO. When you add detune to the wavetable (with uni 4) the wave starts beating, and when you turn the detune knob back to zero the wave will remain at that waveform.(no beating) but the waveform depends on when you turn the detune back to zero. Same with the swarm on off the waveform (start) depends on when you click the on/of button. When you turn it of it’s like turning the detune knob to zero, and when you turn it on it’s like (suddenly) turning the detune knob up. (Does this make sense to you ?)

Here is the selection to experiment with. (Turn the detune and the swarm freq knobs) Detune Swarm.vcvs (95.7 KB)

ok i see. my first thought was a kind of fm, but know i understand the swarm as kind of phase difference to the main osc. the example from @Yeager shows the swarm wave a bit after or before in time the main wave. as far as i know time means phase here. is this correct? thank you both for the clear explanation.

Yes.
