What it does

Live Guitar Weird Synth

Demonstrates the use of WaveWarp's live input functionality and modular sample-by-sample architecture. Plug an electric guitar (or any other audio source!) into the "input" of your soundcard and hit "Play". Play one note repeatedly and experience the weird synthesiser effect produced by the "Controllable Spectral Shift 1" block. This is the same as the "Spectral Shift 1" block except that the frequency shift is provided as a control input rather than as a slider parameter. Since the control signals are time-varying, this enables elaborate modulated spectral enhancements to be achieved in a straightforward manner, illustrating the versatility of WaveWarp's modular architecture.

Try experimenting with all settings and with different audio sources and control signal generators.
