Bon je vais finaliser ma liste et j'l'envoie au père noël ...

c'est ici que ça pêche un peu for me... mon impression, c'est que ces gens veulent rester dans leur trip ...en brouillant les pistes pour les éventuels novices!ces modules uniques.
Pour moi, c'est la même volonté que celle qui m'a poussé dans le modulaire : l'exploration de territoires sonores inconnus (du moins pour ma part!)En fait pour faire + court, excuse moi Fab: Qu'est ce qui motive ces gens à vouloir ABSOLUMENT s'éloigner d'une architecture " classique" pour des résultats analogues ....à part peut-être le fait de "repenser" pour le fun ... et créer des modules TRES condensés ?
I will try to explain a little of the philosophy behind the Wiard modules. It has to do with the "East vs. West" coast synthesizer history. This is an over simplified explaination, some "East Coast" instruments support FM for example.
It really starts with the concept of a patch. In the "East Coast" instruments (basically all synthesizer manufacturers except Wiard, Buchla and Serge) you have a subtractive synthesis patch entirely oriented towards the filter. This is your classic VCO-VCF-VCA connection with ADSR type envelopes. The envelopes generators typically have only a single output. The oscillators usually have very simple waveforms such as sawtooth and square wave. This is what most people are introduced to and why many people are puzzled by more complex instruments like the Wiard. This patch makes sense for playing with a black and white type keyboard. It produce a limited but pleasing range of timbres and is easy to operate and understand.
In the "West Coast" instruments, there are 3 possible synthesis modes. Additive, non- linear waveshaping and dynamic depth FM are the primary synthesis modes. "East Coast" subtractive synthesis is typically not DIRECTLY supported. It was not in the Buchla or Serge (no 24 dB/Oct. resonant filter). Good aproximations of subtractive synthesis can be patch on the Serge with cascaded filters. These instruments are oriented towards controlling with a multiple output sequencer or multiple output complex envelope generator intead of a black and white keyboard. They produce a larger and more importantly, different set of timbres than the simpler "East Coast" instruments.
The classic patch in a "West Coast" instrument involves two blocks. The first is a complex oscillator which supports both non-linear waveshaping and dynamic depth FM (Buchla 259 and Serge NTO). The second signal processor is a Lowpass Gate or "frequency and amplitude domain processor". The primary timbre generation is done directly with the oscillator, and the Lowpass Gate just tweaks the amplitude and frequency character. These two blocks are designed to be controlled by one complex envelope generator with multiple outputs routed to all the timbre factors.
Once again this is a simplifed explaination to illustrate subtle points. Actual usage involves a combination of both techniques.
In the 1200 series we have the groundwork laid for a complex "West Coast" voice. The JAG will convert two simple ADSR envelopes into a multiple output complex envelope generator. The Boogie Filter can be used as a Lowpass Gate but also supports the "East Coast" Moog type subtractive character. The Borg 2 Filter is a classic Lowpass Gate that can also be used like the "East Coast" MS20 subtractive filter.
The icing on the cake is the complex oscillator. The Wiard Synthesizer Mini-Wave and VCO (manufactured under license by Blacet Research) is a type of complex oscillator and non- linear waveshaper already well established. A lot of good work has been done with these Wiard designs. Improving on such a solid base is no easy task.
It would be great if a complex oscillator could support as many timbre modes as possible. Simultaneous support for multiple non-linear waveshaping, dynamic depth PM and wavetable would be ideal. If each of these was independent, you could look at them like geometric axis. Modulating the timbre parameters then becomes a matter of "walking about" in a large timbre space with multiple dimensions of simultaneous control. This is true timbre morphing and not just simple crossfading between timbres (which is good too).
This is where my research is currently focused. Exactly when the complex oscillator will be finished depends upon sales of the existing 1200 series modules. If the public is not interested in the extra "West Coast" synthesis methodology, it would be foolish to waste time and money on products for that purpose.
"East Coast" designs are as common as dandelions, but I feel support for subtractive synthesis should be included in a complete instrument. That is why the Wiard designs support BOTH East and West Coast synthesis methods. For example, any Wiard complex VCO will include classic subtractive waveform outputs in addition to the complex outputs.
I think that I need to focus on education to promote the idea of the more complex synthesis "West Coast" style. I am going to try and write manuals for the Boogie and Borg 2 modules that cover the less obvious operating modes. For the short term, I will be concentrating on that.
As always, thank you to all you fine people for your continued support and all the amazing music you have sent me. Keep up the good work and thank you again.
Some more comments on "West Coast" techniques.
The main difference between the two techniques are how the filter is applied. In "East Coast" technique, you start with simple waveforms and used the filter to do your timbre control. The classic East Coast patch is VCO - VCF - VCA with ADSR envelopes for the VCF and VCA.
In one of the "West Coast" techniques, you start with complex waveforms and use the filter just to do final tone shaping. Of course crank up the resonance if you want to mix the two techniques.
How do you get complex waveforms? The Wiard-Blacet Mini-wave or 300 series Waveform City is a good source of complex waveforms when used as a wavetable playback device. These complex waveforms can be made even more complex by the use of synch and FM at the same time. The Mini-wave/Wavefrom city can also be used as a wave multiplier for non-linear synthesis.
Here are a couple of simple patches that are "West" sounding.
VCO(sine) - VCA - LINFMVCO(sine) - Borg in lowpass gate mode (VCA).
You use the first VCA to dynamically control the depth of linear FM. Envelopes are routed to the FM depth VCA and to the Borg tone shaper. The use of sine waves produces "nice" sounding FM along with the soft Borg envelope. With the first VCO set to about 7 Hz and the linear FM control of the second VCO barely open, you have dynamic and natural sounding vibrato.
VCO(sine) - LINFMVCO(sine) - VCA - Mini-wave(+/- 5v) - Borg in lowpass gate mode (VCA)
This is a fixed depth FM patch going to a dynamic depth wave multiplier. Envelopes are routed to the first VCA and to the Borg. The VCA before the Mini-Wave needs to have controls to set initial volume and control the amount of envelope (like an ARP 2600 VCA has). You want to adjust the VCA so it is about 20% on with no envelope. Then adjust the amount of envelope sweep to your taste. You can play with any bank or wave in the Mini- wave but Bank 13 is designed just for this use.
Banks 0 to 7 of the "Socket Rocket" chip are designed to process audio input. In this case the VCA is set 100% on. Bank 6 "Bit Decimation" can really make a drum track gnarly when set to 4 bits or less. One thing to look at is the "Socket Rocket" users manual. This is a 10 meg pdf file:

C'est toujours super intéressant de pouvoir mélanger 2 philososphie différentes ...Yohda a écrit :maintenant, on peut facilement mélanger le concept Moog (plutot orienté synthese soustractive) et celui de Buchla (synthese additive, FM etc...)
Ce serait plus simple a comprendre mais du coup, ne perdraient-ils pas un peu de leur charme ??: Les synths Buchla seraient énormes avec un format plus "décomposé" et n'auraient plus la même approche de la synthése.

Pour moi c'est indispensable :ADSR :
J'ai déjà un A-140 : http://www.doepfer.de/a140.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Est-ce vraiment un plus de prendre un VC-ADSR par rapport a une ADSR classique ?
Qu'en pensez-vous ??
Merci ...
La quadrature c'est sympa quand tu as un modulaire un peu conséquent, avec plusieurs modules indentiques, par ex 4 filtres bandpass avec le même signal en entrée et modulés chacun par une des sorties du quadrature (qui sont décallé de 90°)LFO :

J'ai déja un A-147 donc je me demandais si cela pouvait être intéressant de changer de LFO ?
Méfie toi : je pourrais bien débarquer un de ces 4 : je vais à Brest régulièrement, et un arrêt à Rennes, c'est pas compliqué !modular a écrit :Merci Yohda, Worker8 et HPS !!![]()
