i'm very glad you like it and thanks for the kind words. i had never
used a wavefolder before i did this, which was basically a request,
so the feedback has been very reassuring. one customer in particular
has some extensive experience with a Serge system (which had
something similar called a "multiplier") and he said that he felt it
sounded pretty good. that was very nice to hear.
don't be afraid to run things other than sine waves into it. my
CR-8000 drum machine sounds pretty wicked through it, despite the
fact that's not the intended application. compressed sounds do better
than percussive sounds though.

shockingly enough, i don't have to be talked into it. i'm already
stuffing some boards. and there's a bunch of empty front panels
waiting to be sanded and rinsed.
it'll go up on the site soon. i just wanted to catch up with my
backlogue (all remaining european orders shipped this week, 2 orders
left in the queue which are waiting on gate delay panels which get
here on friday). my modules will probably continue to be build to
order for the most part but i'm trying to get the lead time down as
much as possible. i'm also still in a wheelchair, which is another
consideration.
Joe Grisso did a great job with this layout, but he's working on some
stuff right now that is finally his own baby, electrically speaking,
and i'm pretty stoked about it. it won't be ready until well after
the Wave Folder and Mankato are available.
the release schedule is Wave Folder, then the Mankato Filter, then
whatever's next. the Wave Folder and the Mankato _will_ be this month
though.
