What it does

Robotic Dance with Phaser

Same as "RoboticDance.dwb" but with a phaser added to enhance the stereo impression.

Illustrates the use of the amplitude & frequency controlled oscillator (the orange block). This generates a tone at an amplitude and frequency determined by the control inputs "A" and "F", respectively.

The Combo Control Generator (A) generates a modulated "A" signal, and the Combo Control Generator (F) generates a modulated "F" signal. For added effect, the amplitude control signal is used to modulate the frequency control signal (via the red "multiply" block). Highly elaborate nested modulated oscillators can be built this way.

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

The default settings sound like a robotic dance. Experiment with all settings to explore the wide range of interesting tones which can be generated by the WaveWarp oscillators. Experiment also with different effects (instead of the phaser) and with combinations of effects !
