Doepfer

Can some kind soul with a A-137 Wave Multiplier please post some
samples? I'm thinking about buying one but I'm just not sure. I've already
heard the ones on the Doepfer site and it wasn¹t enough to make me gaga over
it. I'd especially be interested in hearing it in conjunction with Plan B
VCO's. Greatly appreciated.

    regards,
    John

I don't think samples would do it justice...the A137 is BRILLIANT!
it will make you go GAGA...TRUST ME!
...it will make your head explode once you start modulating it...it 
is PURE GAGA!

hello john,

i know, i have promised to record some examples for you,
but i'm still very busy with other things, sorry.
after all it will be difficult to show the potential
of the module with just a few recordings.
i suggest that you check out the a137 examples
on my homepage (www.selfoscillate.de), and if you can
wait a few days more i maybe can manage to record some
new snips for you soon.

best wishes

ingo

hey john,

I can offer you a some examples in context to my music. 
http://thedeepelement.com/invade/audiomine/thedeepelement-fae111106.mp3
aside from the orchestra, almost everything, including the drums are being run throught 
the 137, though there are many other things going on. the most obvious sound is the  
'guitar distortion' that comes in every 2 bars on the downbeat when the song gets started. 
in my opinion is a great module for giving sounds an edge/bite.

Good examples! I didn¹t know it could distort that much! I still would
love to hear it with some triangle/sine synth work but this was cool too.

    Thanks,
    John

Hello.

I just uploaded a very quick A-137 example as requested to
Files->JVTalbert  This was a very simple patch of a Plan B oscillator
sine wave patched directly to the A-137 with a combination of A-155
and manual modulation.  An mp3 doesn't do it justice, but hopefully
this will give a general idea of some of the sonic possibilties.

John

That sounded great. Thanks. The modulation can get quite extreme. What
were the little clicks in the beginning of the sequence? Was that from your
EG¹s?

    Regards,
    John

There were no EGs used.  Only the three modules: 1 Plan B Osc, A-155
step sequencer and A-137.  The clicks were just a side effect of the
arbitrarily selected 5 steps of voltages from the A-155 (at the 4v
range setting) modulating the A-137 Multiples input combined with the
initial low Multiples, Folding Level, Symmetry and Harmonics settings
before tweaking.  I was attempting to quickly illustrate as much of
the sonic range of the module as possible.  Hopefully this explains
the mystery clicking.  :-)

Kindest regards,
John

The sound source is a sine wave through the 137 with various
parameters being modulated by the Plan B envelope for woodwind-like
behavior. This was recorded at a time when I was using the BBD way too
much for everything, so ignore if that isn't your thing. All musical
event generation in this clip is automated, other than the live
adjustment of audio output levels for the reverb and BBD channels.

Hi John..

The A-137 is great, it can sound very electronic or
organic/electric-guitar sounding.

In fact, I based a whole piece around its sound - luxuriating in a bath
of harmonics generated by the A-137 using a Plan B Model 15 as audio
input and an additional Model 15 for modulating the A-137. Additionally,
the Wasp Filter and Plan B Model 12 filter were used.

It's track # 10, "Cicada"... no external effects and recorded direct:

not for the faint of heart. :)

cheers - Bryan K.
