CV Time Gen Osc [TGO]
2008-06-23 by Harold Tique
The [VC TimeGen Osc] function block has two cells:
The one on the left is free running with an overall "Freq" pot which
goes from 25 sec. to 8.5 KHz in full rotation. The VC range extends
this for >2 min to 11.5 Khz.
There are two CV (Exp) inputs: one approx 1v/oct and the other +/-
scalable that affects the overall frequency, but leaves the two
waveforms (see below) constant through the sweep.
The output waveforms are: "Blue jack" = inverted SAW Wave with the
extremely fast rise time of 25 microseconds making it very "alive"
(hence voiced as the Creature's main male call)
and the "Red Jack" = 50% duty cycle square waveform with the rising
edge voiced differently than the falling edge as is the sound of
single reed instruments (i.e. - bass clarinet). These were both
specifically voiced to provide the filter with much to "chew" on.
The right cell of this function block is that of the DTG, but has a
smoother voicing while remaining sonically focused. This is the
feminine voice calling.
The two together really make it happen ...
Have fun playing ya all!
