You've never heard oscillators do this before // Warp & Reflect *NEW* Wavefolding VCOs

Is it witchcraft, fairy dust, magic, sonic alchemy or science? Whatever it is its pretty amazing. The Pittsburgh Modular Voltage Lab 2 has 2 wavefolding oscillators - but they have beed designed from the ground up to do things differently.
Firstly, the 2 oscillators aren't the same.
VCO1 has their proprietary centre and newly developed centre clipping circuit that splits the positive and negative portions of the signal so you can attenuate them independently.
VCO2 works in a different way. It has the reflection parameter that gradually folds the negative up into the positive
Add all this together and it took over 20 minutes of tweaking a drone to demo what they could do. That;s without even patching VCO1 into VCO2 and vice versa. You can warp VCO2 with VCO1 and reflect VCO1 using VCO2. In other words there's an awful lot more than I've demo'd here.
Roll a fat one and enjoy the sonic bath. Imagine staring at the stars as this reverberates around the canons in the sea of tranquility - and I know you can't hear anything in space, but f**K it, go with the flow :)

Nice demo of the oscillators. Don't forget, the wavefolder in oscillator 1 and reflection in oscillator 2 can be patched into each other to expand the possibilities further.
I edited that bit out as the intro was getting too talky. I decided to save it for the main demo
How can a noise make you happy. In this case it just does ! 👏
Personally i have yes, because i have their standalone harmonic center-clipping module (The Flamingo). But i agree, the vast majority of folks don’t pay attention to Pittsburgh and they absolutely should… because they routinely do brand new things in analog synthesis that nobody else even knows is possible! They are so underrated!
You should have done this down an octave or so. Wavefolding almost always sounds better with low pitched oscillators in my opinion.
It sounds killer. Great demo Mr Starsky. It sounds like the tonal spectrum will fit easily into a mix without sounding like mud.
Super interesting demo from that synth laboratory !
Those Osc's oh my more Beef n Bacon than a Butcher! Love it added to my 'want' list haha nice demo as always Starsky
I've been eyeing this up to be fair !!!
Great to hear the basic sound of the oscillators themselves in such detail! Much more useful than some modulated extremes. I had a hard time to react because a banner from your sponsor blocked my RUclips response input field.
Yea, I'm watching!
😂
Fuck! Being able to get this lost in just an oscillator? Forget about it… I’m sold.
I spent a lot longer than this just enjoying the tones which is why I decided in the end to make this into a separate video - its hard to do it justice in a 5 minute run-through.
This would make for beautiful wave tables. I'd buy that
I’ve made 52 of them! On my Patreon and soon on my website.
Yes, yes we are 7:45
😂😂
Sounds very promising! I suspect the real fun begins when those oscillator parameters are modulated in time, both with envelopes and LFOs. Make the timbre dance and I think this will be a winner.
And maybe, if we ask real nice, we'll get a demo with two notes, maybe even four! 😂 imagine the possibilities 😂
There’s some I’ve put up on Instagram already that’ll be used in the final demo. You should defo check them out. Sounds great. But this was a single oscillator at a time for the specific purpose of doing just that. An appendix to the main demo.
@@StarskyCarr no worries, this was tongue-in-cheek. I appreciate this video, it's unique and helpful. And goes to show that you can listen to this oscillator droning for over 10 minutes without getting annoyed = success.
Wow
Hello, I have Sonicware Liven 8bit Warps. This thing can produce some crazy sounds. I would recommend to try it if you have a chance, it might be a pleasant surprise, for a fraction of the cost.
Very cool sounds, how much of this can the Taiga do?
I second this question.
Taiga can do wavefolding with or without warp. Everything else is new to the VL2.
Yes 😂 Even us Lady synth players.
So many techno artists will want this machine.
Sound designers dream
I had this on as background while I was working and now my brain is going oooooooooowwwwwwweeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyoooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzz
Mine still is days later 😂
At many times it sounds like a All Pass filter i find
Cheers
Crap. Crap crap crap. This thing rules.
Dude, it fkn smacks!
Why all this new synths do never sound as good and fat as a early 70´s real synth?
Some of them do. But you’re going to have to pay a premium for that, haha.
I have the analogue solutions Ample, and that is the thickest fattest beefyest synth I’ve ever heard. But it’s not cheap. If you want the king, it cost more. I’m going to make a vid on it later today.
@@InFamousProductions let me see it, cheers.
I very much disagree. I had a late 70s ARP 2600 for almost 30 years, so I know the sound very well. I sold it a couple years ago and now get my synth sounds from either a Taiga or software. I don't ever miss the ARP one bit.
@@soysos.tuffsound I had an early 2600 in the 90's and regret having sold it. Plug ins are a bad taste joke.
