Re: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] Heisenberg vs. Wogglebug pros and cons?

2009-03-06 by Don Kim

The Woggle is originally a Grant Richter (of Wiard) design originally,
I think the Heisenberg and the Doepfer 149-1 are closer to the SOU.
The 149-1 has 4 CV outs to pick from, but needs an external clock.
The Heisenberg has it's own quantized random output  from an internal
clock, a stepped output similar to the 149, and a smoothed output that
I think the Woggle has a similar output (the Doepfer does not).  The
Heisenberg also has a digital noise out (the source output) that
sounds kinda like the Zorlon Cannon's audio output.  I don't have a
woggle, but I would think the M24 is somewhere between the Woggle and
the 149-1.
