Limited WARRANTY: 3 Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards or reversed eurorack bus board cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.
Electrocution hazard! bus board connection cable. Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any Eurorack bus board cable. The Make Noise Richter Wogglebug is an electronic music module requiring 50mA of +12VDC and 40 mA of -12VDC regulated voltages and a properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It must be properly installed into a Eurorack format modular synthesizer system case. Go to http://www.makenoisemusic.com/ for examples of Eurorack Systems and Cases.
Panel Controls: 1 2 3 Audio: 1. Smooth VCO Output: Shark’s Fin wave audio rate signal controlled by the Ego Input, Ego/Id panel setting, Influence CV Input, and Speed/Chaos controls; 10Vpp. 2. Ring-Mod Output: Pulse Wave Audio rate signal, ring modulated product of Smooth VCO, Woggle VCO and audio rate signal at the Influence Input (if present). It gets messy, real fast.
Panel Controls (cont’d) 4 5 6 8 9 10 7 11 CV: 4. Ego/Id Balance Control: with nothing inserted at the Ego Input, sets the range of probable values. Turning this control CCW, the random values generated by the system tend to “cluster.” With a signal applied to the Ego Input, it allows that external signal to be balanced with the internal signal source to generate random voltages. 5.
12 13 14 15 18 19 20 16 21 17 Panel Controls: (cont’d) CLK: 12. Speed/Chaos CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for Speed CV Input. Normalled to 8V (see below). 13. Speed/Chaos CV Input: unipolar control signal input for Speed parameter. Normalled to +8V so that with nothing patched, the associated Speed CV attenuator will extend the internal clock generator range up to around 200hz; Range: 0V to +8V. 14.
Overview: 8 Amongst other things, the Make Noise Wogglebug contains the following: 1 Voltage-Controlled Clock, 1 Sample & Hold, 2 Lag Processors, 1 Random Gate Burst Generator, and 2 VCO Digital Ring Mod: most of which are patchable via the instrument's panel in a system that is capable of CV and Audio Signal generation and processing. While we have broken the Panel Controls & I/O description into Sections for explanation, please understand that ALL portions of the Wogglebug interact with each other.
What’s New: 9 The new Richter Wogglebug has yet a few more tricks up its sleeve... - A much more stable clock output with the widest frequency range yet seen on a Wogglebug. The clock now goes up to about 200Hz, allowing the Control Voltage and Gate Outputs to be heard directly as different flavors of analog and digital noise. - In previous Wogglebugs, the clock had been locked to the internal Sample and Hold Circuit.
Patch Example: Sample and Hold Uncertainty Control Sample Rate Variation: Try patching the Slewed version of the signal using the Wogglebug’s Smooth CV Out, using MATHS EOR Gate to control the Sample Rate externally. Now the Clock Rate will set the Slew Rate independently of the Sample Rate. Patch Example: Pitch-to-Voltage ( P.L.L.
Patch Example: Basic Random Sequencing Burst Rate Degree of Effect Clock Rate Patch Concept: Patch Exciter (Sound Source Not Depicted) To Any Parameter That is Not Exciting Patch Concept: Dirty CV (Sound Source Not Depicted) “Filth” Reduction
Patch Example: Jittery Clock Concept (Sound Source Not Depicted) 12 Patch Example: Make Noise Jitter Amount Rate/Frequency Jittery Clock Out Variation: For a Chaotic Clock, turn Speed Attenuator to about noon.
Patch Concept: Tame the Bug (Sound Source Not Depicted) Patch Concept: Kick the Bug (Sound Source Not Depicted) Attenuate at Destination(s) 13 DUMMY CABLE Attenuate at Destination(s) [PRESS] Variation: Turn the Speed Panel Control to 3 o’clock or greater. [PRESS] and [HOLD] the Disturb Button to “Kill” the Bug and the random voltages last generated will hang until release.
