warp3(a,b)

shapes and warps= the 16-bit values of a and b combined bit by bit

Variable Inverter: the binary values of a and b are combined bit by bit, which gives erratic, digital-looking results.

WHAT TO KNOW

INPUTS

a: the pattern, a constant or a slow source; b: the signal, best a slow LFO.

OUTPUT RANGE

-1..+1

USE IT FOR

Glitchy, stepped variants of an LFO or a key curve; pseudo-random patterns that repeat with the LFO.

WATCH OUT

Tiny changes in either input can make large jumps: the result looks random but repeats exactly whenever a and b come back to the same values.

HOW TO ON YOUR K2700 · 2046 Editor Template

The factory does not route warp3(a,b) to a sound on its own: set one up on 2046 Editor Template and hear it on the pitch.

  1. In Program mode choose 2046 Editor Template, a plain one-layer program to build on (KEYPAD, 2046, ENTER).

    Program mode with 2046 Editor Template

  2. Press EDIT, then MORE and DSP MOD. On the Pitch row set Source 1 to FUN2 and its Depth to 1200 ct: FUN2's result, −1 to +1, now bends the pitch up to an octave either way.

    The DSP MOD page of 2046 Editor Template, layer 1, the cursor on Depth (1200 ct)

  3. MORE, then LFO+. On the FUN2 row set Input a to 0.95 and Input b to LFO1.

    The LFO+ page of 2046 Editor Template, layer 1, the cursor on Input b (LFO1)

  4. Move to Function and turn the Alpha Wheel to warp3(a,b).

  5. Hold a note: LFO1's sine comes out scrambled bit by bit, the pitch jumping in a glitchy pattern that comes round again with every cycle of the LFO.

  6. Press EXIT and answer NO to leave the factory program as it was, or SAVE to keep your version on a USER ID.
