Tips on sine-width modulation

Veets · 2013-10-21T15:39:57.000Z

@sicjik, That’s it - you have it perfect! I think I went up to 800 hz and then did some intermediate values. That’s an interesting idea about lowering the output volume a bit. There might be some clipping in the Mono. I didn’t really notice it but you never know. Mine are all normalized like yours.

@Freefall, sorry if I overexplained. You could cut them up in a DAW too. In fact that is an interesting idea. Take a sine wave, trim off the end gradually in small amounts. Hmm… gonna have to try that one someday, I imagine it will sound interesting. Anyway, maybe Sicjik’s picture is more helpful for a visual representation? If you do his wave, and then cross fade with a sine wave, you will have the same idea. Once you do two, you can do more if you like.

Actually, you probably don’t really need the formulas…you could do them all by eye. I just used the formulas to make them have a certain spacing. But if you do it your way, you will have a custom version. There’s no right way, just fun ways

@phading Sure, I will work on uploading the files in the next couple of days. I’m kind of slammed this month so it might be a bit.

@Veets

Excellent. I’m gonna give it a go in a DAW then.

I actually spent several hours yesterday (Sunday) batch renaming the wave files from the Adventure Kid web site, and uploading them into my MnM. I even made a few banks that contain an assortment of wave types for “wavetable” sweeping fun!

Thanks again for your help Veets.

Sure thing guys. And here are those waveforms. Send 'em in alphabetical order starting with S202.wav going up to s245.wav and then lastly s200.wav. I guess I didn’t alphabetize the last one for some reason. You can also look at them in Wavosaur. Pretty simple once you take a look.

Thanks for the waves Veets!

Very generous of you.

Veets delivers again Thank you

Veets · 2015-11-05T05:18:57.000Z

Hey does anyone still have these files? Someone PM’d me about them and I have searched two computers to no avail. If you have them, could you re-up them? Thx!

Dub comes through - here they are, for the moment anyway.

Thanks for re-posting!

Happy to. And big thanks to Dubathonic for the save!

Hi guys, great tip and awesome sound! Any chance some of you could share the waves again? The links are dead. Thanks!

dubathonic · 2016-08-07T12:54:38.587Z

i’m on travel right now, but remind me in a few days if you don’t find them elsewhere, i can send them to you.

(as soon as elektron reinstates the files section i’ll upload them there as well.)

Veets · 2016-08-07T19:26:46.831Z

Thanks Dub - I hooked him up.

Safe travels D.

So one of my fave patches from that set is the lead sound around 3:05. In case anyone is wondering, here is how to do this (from memory). Pretty sure I set the LFO to begin with one of the “sine-ier” waves and then LFO over to one of the more “sine-widthy” waves and then LFO back. So you get a smooth attack sound which then gets some more bite and then mellows out. Add a little reverb/delay to taste.

Any chance to up the files again? I can host them in my Box account. That way they’ll be up forever (at least as long as I live ;-))

Veets · 2016-08-07T19:40:57.475Z

PM sent.

Thanks Veets for the files here they are again: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14949737/Elektron/s220.zip

funqpatrol · 2016-08-08T13:40:30.704Z

Thanks for that Veets, I was wondering does the LFO depth parameter value matches the target parameter value? as in if I set the target I want to modulate to 1 and the lfo depth to 3 with a tri wave will it modulate the target parameter from 1 to 3 and then back? does that make sense? Thanks!

That sounds about right to me.

@Veets could you repost these somewhere? That dropbox link doesn’t work anymore & I can’t find the sine width mouldation files on your website. Thanks!
