Tips on sine-width modulation

Thanks for the waves Veets!

Very generous of you.

Veets delivers again Thank you

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.

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!

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.)

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

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!

Veets · 2024-03-03T03:01:14.487Z

I just searched my hard drive for all kinds of things and was about to give up but… voila! Glad I kept at it.
@jw here you go on my website for all eternity

Back in 2013 I was thinking about the synthesizer concept of pulse-width modulation. Synth lovers know this makes a unique pleasant sound out of the brash square wave. I thought about applying this idea to sine waves because I didn't know what it...

Awesome thanks! these are so cool.

How about some new waveforms ?
I came across this great thread by chance while looking for info on requirements for DigiPRO waveforms. Got excited and wanted to apply the same principle to a triangle wave. Only while making these did I remember that doing this for a tri wave makes this go from sawtooth to tri and back to sawtooth! See this screenshot:

Having some good fun with this rn. I ended up making these in Pure Data, I just hate using spreadsheets… The zip contains 21 files, going smoothly from falling saw to tri and then to a rising saw. Named in alphanumerical order so no re-arranging of files is necessary. Just send them to your MnM in their original order and you’re good to go.
The numbering is based on the patch I made them in, they’re essentially an interpolation index / position of the peak in the space of the waveform… I only put 3 waves in the screenshot for illustration purposes as showing all 21 of them is just too messy. Download the waves and look at them for yourself, you’ll get the picture. Have fun guys! And thanks @Veets for this fantastic idea!
