Paperface 50 | Serge Origins | Episode 06 | Waveshaping

This episode is about the original Serge Triple Waveshaper, that can be used both in series as in parallel. They are three identical rectifiers, capable of turning basic waveforms into many different complex shapes, or turning complex shapes into more basic waveforms. Since the Helios panel doesn't have a dedicated VCA, I found a way to use a waveshaper to turn the filter into a convincing low pass gate. I don't think I've heard this trick before since most Helios videos are 'legato'. But maybe everybody knows this already :).
When I started this video I had a 'problem' with working with raw sounds and scopes. I don't want to be such a channel because it also gives the impression that I have a technical background. I don't. So I turned it into a Symphony for Orchestra and Waveshapers. In C minor. It's actually quite fun to 'score' a noisy VCO.
