New Mexico Control Voltage Wavesplice Demo

This is a deeper demonstration of the wave crossfade/splice technique I showed in an earlier video, including using a wavetable oscillator near the end to get even more complex harmonics. The presentation was done live at a New Mexico Control Voltage online meetup in September 2020, with light editing at the end.
I have also covered this subject in depth for my Learning Modular Patreon subscribers:

Sine Tooth i love it

[@Banksyyt]

Thanks again. Very helpful!

[@artoftravelogue]

I love your demonstration Chris! Fantastic walk through and I like your use of other switching waveforms.

[@toiletfriend3432]

i see a couple of potential other possibilities that arise: a) the crossfading modulation wave is another crossfaded modulated wave b) potential feedback options in a i.e. the second crossfader uses a mult of the first splice output as one of its crossfaded waves c) potential fm options as crossfading modulators or crossfaded waves

very nice

[@MartinDoudoroffLLC]

Very well done, sir!

[@QuentinGaudilliere]

I was just asking myself if this technique was in your Cold Mac guide when I saw your comment :)

[@jdanielcramer]

The original Horstronic Waveslicer (cheap on used market and can be DIY’d) is a cool way to do this, and you can do twice or stereo🙀

[@TheInterGalacticFederation]

very cool - esp the vocal wavetables. great presentation.

[@navicore]

great post - I have cross-fader modules that I just use as mixers so far. will dig into audio rate modulation. thx for this!

[@robertsyrett1992]

I think the point about window transforms sounding very buzzy was well put, and the crossfading seems much more manageable.

[@LearningModular]

I was exchanging emails with Jon Sonnenberg about that, and he said he tends to follow the switch/mix with a non-resonant low pass filter to take the edge off.

[@robertsyrett1992]

@@LearningModular Another reason to keep some low pass gates at hand.

8:00 I must try to use this stuff

[@sneaks]

So goooood... Crossfade any waveform!!! What about using M32 VC mix? Thanks Chris

[@LearningModular]

Yes - you can use its waveform mixer to combine one of its own waveforms with an external oscillator (using one of the Mother's VCO waves to do the mix, or an second external VCO), or is free-agent VC Mix.

Can you do a tutorial on 4ms VCA Matrix and Mutable Instruments Marbles? Would love a solid tutorial on these two complex modules :-)

[@geerhoar]

Would love tips on using sequential switches or programmers with the 4ms Vcam.

[@LearningModular]

I'm afraid I don't have a 4ms VCA Matrix. I've talked a bit about how I use Marbles over on my Patreon channel (patreon.com/learningmodular); I'm sorry to say no dedicated videos are currently planned for it.

[@DAVIDGREGORYKERR]

Can you not Convolve the two signals together by taking the FFT of both signals and use complex multiplication to create the data for input into the IFFT to create the wanted signal.

[@AliasZone]

Yes - but not easily. That's a lot of computing power, and a lot of bands to get an accurate result.

[@TheChrognac]

this happened in New Mexico?! I'm moving back to NM very soon. hoping to meet some modular folks!

[@LearningModular]

This one happened online via Zoom, but pre- and post-Covid we have a monthly meetup in Albuquerque, plus a private group on Facebook. Message me on Facebook and I'll hook you up.

[@fatalsystemera]

@@LearningModular I live in Albuquerque. Would love to come to one of these meetups one day after it's safe again.

[@LearningModular]

@@fatalsystemera they're on Zoom right now. Contact me using the form at the bottom of the learningmodular.com page and I'll tell you how to plug in.
