Ebb & LFO
This is a single Tides-like oscillator with two outputs. Both inputs and outputs are configurable. The outputs are visualized on the screen.
It can function like a looping envelope generator or an audio-rate oscillator, with modulatable parameters for morphing the contour. Triggers to input 1/3 may function as tap tempo. “One Shot” mode will output a single waveform cycle and stop, much like the AD envelope mode on Tides (use Reset to retrigger).
Clocked Mode
When the mode is switched from V/Oct to Clocked, the Frequency control is replaced with a clock divider/multiplier. This mode uses the clever Mutable Instruments pattern predictor algorithm to follow incoming clock trigger patterns and match the groove.
I/O
1/3 | 2/4 | |
---|---|---|
TRIG | Clock | Reset/Retrigger |
CV INs | Assignable (Freq / Slope / Shape / Fold) | Assignable (Amp / Slope / Shape / Fold) |
OUTs | Waveform A | Waveform B |
CV Inputs & UI Parameters
These are also the corresponding on-screen parameters. Each input is assigned to one of:
- Level / Amplitude (CV2 only)
- Frequency (Hz) (CV1 only) - tracks V/Oct for audio-rate operation
- Slope - skews the waveform (much like the deprecated SkewedLFO applet)
- Shape - morphs between various curved segment combos
- Fold - wavefolder!
Lastly, there is a UI toggle for One Shot mode.
Outputs
Each output can be one of:
- Unipolar
- Bipolar
- Gate High - starts low, goes high at the end of the Attack phase
- Gate Low - starts high, goes low at the end of the Attack phase
