This Is Not Rocket Science - Wobbler2

The Wobbler2 is the new version of the powerful LFO from This Is Not Rocket Science which now also provides a drum mode.

The Wobbler2 offers two channels of complex LFOs known from the previous Wobbler. These are specifically designed to sound natural, adding controlled chaos to your sound. However, the use of a Raspberry Pie allowed for a drum mode. Sonically a lot is possible here and together with the two envelopes and CV inputs, complex percussions won´t be a problem.

LFO mode:

• with the SHAPE knob you select between five shapes
• Basic LFO
• Self-phased LFO
• Twang
• Double pendulum
• Sample-and-hold
• The MOD knob controls shape specific modulation
• The big FREQUENCY knob changes the speed at which it oscillates
• The SYNC input will change the FREQUENCY knob into a sub-divider of the incoming tempo
• The PHASE knob controls the phase difference between the two outputs
• SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
• The TRIGGER button can reset the phase of the LFO or restart the algorithm depending on your SHAPE selection
• Both outputs have a knob to alter or invert the amplitude of the signal
• Both outputs also have their own trigger output – sending a trigger at the start of each new phase
• The two LED arrays show you the generated CV levels of each output

Drum mode:

• With the SHAPE knob you select a region of 5 drum styles
• Bass drums and toms
• Woodblock
• Ribbing and rattling
• Snare drum
• Cymbals and claps
• The PHASE knob controls an aspect relevant to that style
• The MOD knob somewhat resembles velocity
• The big FREQUENCY knob tunes the drum
• The SYNC input adds an accent
• SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
• The TRIGGER button bangs the drum
• REGULAR output knob ranges between distortion or compression of your drum sound
• PHASED output knob ranges between the normal and negated envelope of your drum sound
• One LED arm will show you when a drum sound hits and the other shows the associated envelope moving
