Wiardgroup

the new wiard socket rocket has on bank 12 a waveset called `marf 
discriminator´. i was reading about the 248 buchla marf also on doepfer 
list.

can anyone describe it? in details, what this module can do?

and i´m interested in opinions also about the marf discriminator... anyone 
heard it?


thx in advance

The Buchla 248 is a module that has 16 stages of 2 sliders and 8 bits of 
switched data on each step. then you have a series of output channels 
that can independantly address the stages. Among the 8 bits of data are 
sloped/stepped, 2 trigger outs, voltage and time ranges, 
quantzed/continuous voltage, external inputs select, 
sustain/start/end/enable. In the end, you can use any section of the 
stages as any kind of envelope or  sequencer imaginable.

in Grant's "MARF MODE" he makes it possible to make a sloped sequence, 
or multistage envelope out of any sequencer. That's a function that was 
unique to the 248, envelopes of up to 16 stages in length with any stage 
being the sustain stage and all slope times and peak voltages controllable.

it's the coolest analog module around I think.

Could you please describe a patch to accomplish this?
I'm itching to learn about this functionality as well.

Easier,

-Mike

look at the manual for that miniwave chip on the wiardgroup page. It is 
kinda complicated

Ah, thanks. I have only read the manual on Grant's site and wasn't 
aware that there was an updated version. 

Easier,
