that's something i've noticed about my boogie too, just how quiet it is, and how "hi-fi" it sounds, for want of a better adjective. it exudes quality and scientific precision! it's certainly the cleanest sounding filter in my collection as regards noiselessness. the 6dB mode is g

Now that my Omni has returned from Wisconsin, let me say that I continue to love this guy, inspite of the competition from its vactrol brethren. Just using it in allpass mode to impose a bit of animation in a patch really shows off how amazingly quiet it is! Woohoo!!! Gary

I just started a page for my studio/production stuff the other day: www.myspace.com/gnosotrosstudio Alas, no Wiard content yet as most people don't want to take the time to patch up modular stuff. But hopefully in the near future... BTW, are there any plans for a 1200 series VCA

Well Norman, Myspace *is* very convenient. I put up my Wiard-related track (called "I, Norton excerpt") in just a few minutes last week. The track features irrational rhythms created by the Noise Ring as it controls, among other things, Blacet and Plan B oscillators, etc. http://

I added these links to the Links section of this group. Any other Wiard users with Myspace pages are invited to do the same. Might as well take advantage of the Links page for the group. I used "Myspace page" as a description. You can have 7000 new friends like Dimitri Martin. --

And if you think all the interesting waveforms are gone, and you can't do anything original. Here is the math. A 256 x 8 bit waveform has 2^2048th possible variations. That is 10^654th. The known universe is approx. 10^29 NANOSECONDS old. So there are still a lot of original wave

Actually, the more I think about it, it is so obvious as to be hard to see. Most physical instruments have more dimensions than are recorded. A drum is a 4 dimensional instrument, which is reduced to a two dimensional projection by the recording process. This could suggest why th
