Making Sound Machines - Farbfolder

Making Sound Machines Farbfolder is an analog waveshaper for the Eurorack, ready to harmonically enrich your signals with new overtones.

As part of MSM's new color (filter) palette, a wide range of different coloring modules is available.
Farbfolder folds your signals at the zero crossings of the waveform. A sine wave becomes increasingly "squarer" with further sine edges and thus gets the desired "odd" harmonics.Fundamental waveforms can be harmonically "enriched" in this way to produce sounds that move in the direction of PWM or FM.

The color control at the top of the module is used to sweep through the harmonic spectrum of the one applied to the input jack. In doing so, Colour Fold produces the third, fifth, ninth, eleventh and thirteenth harmonics, the so-called "Odd Harmonics". Turning the Fold knob adds more harmonic content to the signal and expands the sound spectrum in "brightness". Colour and Fold are interdependent, with Colour you create a kind of "basic mood", which can then be refined with Fold.

Fold has a CV input that turns the control into an attenuator when a signal is present. If you patch an LFO or an envelope, you can change the sound in many ways. With the bias input the signal at the audio input can be "shifted" by a positive or negative voltage. CV signals such as LFO or an envelope (-10V/+10V) can be connected to this, or cool FM-like tonalities can be created using an applied audio signal.

Features:

• Analog wavefolder
• Creates odd harmonics
• Controls for color and fold
• CV input turns fold control into an attenuator
• Bias input for control signals or audio signals (to create FM-like sounds)
