What it does

Illustrates the use of the frequency controlled oscillator (the orange block). This generates a tone at the frequency controlled by the input "F" control. The Combo Control Generator generates a modulated "F" signal.

Throughout WaveWarp there is a consistent system: any block which requires a red "F" input must generally take its input from a block which generates a red "F" (frequency) control output. (You may deviate from this system but the results may be unexpected !)

Experiment with all settings to explore the wide range of interesting tones which can be generated by the WaveWarp oscillators.
