Electronic Music other: DIY waveshaper LFO
Store Written March 21 2009 , Tags: waveshaper, lfo, tremolo, avr
First of all, I know a couple of you PMed me (at least two). sorry about the delay, for some reason my PMs dissapeared when I came back several days later and I forgot who it was.

Anyways, my first attempt at AVR programming! (cope-pasted from my blog) Hold down the "record" pushbutton, "draw" out an LFO/envilope shape with the "shape" knob (it can be several seconds long), and release the button for it to start looping the shape and modulate the volume of whatever instrument you have plugged through it. AKA "tremolo". Push button again to design a new one. [U]Or[/U]! Or toggle "punch-in" switch to edit the existing shape with whatever you feel! "smotheness" knob makes it smooth if the waveshape sampling feels a bit too steppy/aliased. It happens if you sample at a very slow tempo and keep it very slow. "speed" accelerates or decelerates the LFO. I forget what "volume" does.

Two LEDs on either side of the bypass switch (under the decals/finish). The one on the right follows your wave "drawing" as well as when it's looping. "firmware upgradeable"

fantastic! i totally want one.
Me, too. Excellent work.
dude, totally cool
thanks guys!

to my surprise, it's gotten quite a bit of attention on a few forums. I'm gonna be making a small batch of these and then see how it goes. stuff I will add: 10-or-so overwritable presets, expression-out, random mode, master depth control, and possibly envilope trigger mode
ooh. cool. sure they will SELL OUT!! i'll take 10 ;) great work!
YEAH I WANT ONE NOW
wow. fantastic idea. very creative and useful!
very nice... seems like a very useful tool, and it looks great
wow. those additions will make it even more amazing.
any idea how many you'll make?... pre-orders?
these are not boutique, they go beyond,

museum
ooof, it's not deserving of some of your kind words ;)
it's not a super original concept.

I also cant take "preorders" at the moment because if I did (including the ones I got on other forums), I'd need to make over 20 right away, and I dont think I can do that in one go. I think I'll set up an email list when I'm closer to completion, etc
