The main output volume is controlled by the orange OUT knob.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lines on the front panel are not just decoration. They are there to help understand the function of the module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite lines shows the clean signal path from IN that can be blenden in to the main mix ont on OUT. The level of clean signal is set on Clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow lines shows the modulation signal path. P is the folding of the positive side of the IN signal and N is the folding of the negative side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sides has the same controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffP is the offset signal, or threshold where the positive folding starts. Turned fully clockwise it will be above +5V and not affect an audio signal on the input. In the middle possition it will start foldig from 0V. Turning it further anticlockwise will make the possitive folding start on the negative side, can be set all the way down to -5V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffN has the same function but is of cause polarity switched compared ti OffP. This means that turning both OffP and OffN max clockwise there will be no folding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnob P and N are attenuverters for adding CV control on top of the offsets OffP and OffN. Green\/red LEDs show what are being added be the attenuverters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe over all control of the ammount of modulation is controlled by Mod. A gree\/red LED after the Mod control is showing the total combined modulation from the P and N side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch Sym can change asymerical to symerical modulation. That is when Sym is on all modulation on P will be copied over to N and vice versa. In Sym mode OffN is disconnected, it would otherwise be in conflict with OffP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoP and FoN are logical signals that goes high when folder P respective N is active. Indicated by gree\/red LEDs. These signals are +\/-5V so they can be used as audio signals. This is not a clean square wave, it has been shaped a bit to sound better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe red knobs FoP and FoN are attenuverters. The output from them are normalized to the main mix OUT. This means that you could add or subtract a square waves that coinsides with the folding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith all the folding and adding of signals the output can easily end up with more than +\/-5V so a limiter\/distortion switch is added to limit the maximum volume out and to add some extra sonic possibilities. This affects the signal going out to the SUM output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mceTemp\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWavefolder WF-1Function of the Lim\/0\/Dist switch is:Middle possition 0, bypassed. The output volume control has a range of 0 to 1 times amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLim possition, a soft stepped limiter that adds a lot of harmonics. Not made to be transparent. The volume control has a range of 0 to 5 times amplification to be able to drive signals harder in to the limiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDist possition, almost Fuzz type of distortion, frequency dependent. The highs are rolled off a bit. The volume control has a range of 0 to 20 times amplification so it can be drived really hard in to the distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth the limiter and distortion are DC coupled and of cause works with control signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen something is connected to FoP or FoN that signal is disconected from the main mix at SUM. This makes it possible to patch the three outputs from the module in many creative ways. As an example OUT can be a mono signal and FoP and FoN be treated as a stereo out for very big sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eE2 Expander\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7246 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dpw.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/E2_1000-22x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"22\" height=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wavefolder expander E-1 allows you to CV control on and off of the Lim and Dist functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne way to use this is as two types of CV controlled accent to the main output of the WF-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can actually turn it on an off at up to about 1,5 kHz speed giving a sort of frequency modulation effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe unit is 12hp wide and 27 mm deep including power connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hmAPt9bdvuU?si=4LkrEby_8QJVfCq6\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore info \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dpw.se\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Noir Synthétique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67665923440914,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/5145\/1922\/files\/WF2_shop.jpg?v=1793850940","url":"https:\/\/noirsynthetique.com\/products\/dpw-design-wavefolder-expander","provider":"Noir Synthétique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
