Doepfer

Shit...he did it again.  

Dieter Dopefer has pulled a off a big winner with the A-137 Wave 
Multiplier.  One of the most unique sound modifiers to come 
around in some time, and argueably the best waveshaper ever 
released IMHO.  

If you don't have one - get real.  If you do have one, try this at 
home:

Tune to Saw VCO's to octaves, mix them, put them both thorugh 
one wave multiplier.  Settings as follows:

Mult  5.5
Fold  0
Sym 3.5
Harm 5
Level  4

Put the output through a nice, phat lowpass and use it as a gate 
- play.  You'll freak.  Play around with the level setting as well, 
you'll get multo timbral variations.  Add a little VC to the Sym 
knob, even more.  If you happen to sport Model 15s, then use the 
Morph out and use the same EG opening the filter to morph the 
waveshape.  wow.  

It sounds very wavetable-ish, without all that pesky aliasing.

Trouble in paradise:  One thing I wish for is a VC level control 
input.  Many timbral variations occur based on how hard to drive 
the clippers.  You can do it with an external VCA of course 
leading into the device, but it would have been wack had it been 
an A-137 feature.

Even taking that completely personal preference into account, 
this thing still is one of the best instruments to hit my ears in a 
long long time.

Way to go, Deet!
