Let’s explore the WTF and bathe in its unique tones

A wide range of both sub audio and audio sources will help you get the most out of the WTF

01 >

To start we suggest taking the output of WTF straight into your mixer/speakers and exploring morphing the front and rear waves by hand as well as turning the width control by hand. This allows you to get familiar with the raw tones before adding modulation.

02 >

Animate your waves by adding a slow and simple triangle wave to the width control. The smooth transition, splitting open the front wave and letting through the rear wave reveals a wide range of morphing tones. Push it further with LFOs to wave select inputs.

Here at FM we’re fans of sample-and-hold. Take three different S&H signals clocked in time with a musical sequence and patch those into the front, width and rear controls. With each clock pulse you’ll now have a different random waveform.

You can switch in a DC voltage rather than a rear waveform, which will allow you to use the width control like a PWM that you can add to any waveform. Try using the dual window, DC rear wave and using an envelope to control the width.

WTF takes audio rate modulation really well. Try a triangle wave VCO into width CV input and tune the WTF and the modulator to a musical interval (or unison) to keep things harmonious. Try sequencing one or both oscillators for a bit of liveliness.

This may seem simple but it’s very useful for tuning and performance, and easy to overlook. Change the jumper setting on the back of the module so the pitch knob moves in octaves. Try jamming live with a sequence shifting octaves in a performance setting.
