As a huge fan of Make Noise, I own most of your stuff. My entire synth is based around the workflow of your modules. With that said, would you recommend this if I already have the old design? Should I upgrade? Will this work with the new cv bus thing you're coming out with?
Waz Hey thanx and glad you are enjoying the modules. I would say you should upgrade if you need some extra space or a master clock. But for random voltages, your OG MN WB is every bit as good.
I'm an absolute beginner. In the beginning of the video the stepped output makes different tones. Is there something else connected to produce these tones? When I patch mine directly to the output it doesn't produce tones but different rhythmical blips and blops. What do I do wrong...?
The stepped random output is patched to a pitch input on the VCO. One of the VCO's outputs is what is monitored and what you actually hear. The Wogglebug is used to change its pitch; the Wogglebug is not being monitored directly. Hope that makes sense!
0oCalumo0 For that functionality, look to the Malekko Noisering, also based on a Grant Richter design (two stepped random outputs, no smooth or woggle or random gates or VCO outs). The Ego/Id pot on the Wogglebug controls the range of the output, the recursiveness of the pattern, and (if there is something in the Ego jack) the amount of randomization applied to the input.
If this module is so particularly musical for a random generator, why was there such lack of examples of musicality in this demo? NOt enough examples that demonstrate order among the chaos. No examples of rhythmic or melodic application. I want to hear some woggles in time. Wild, crazy and random yes, but also in time to some degree! Surely someone could do better than this demo.
it's make noise, what are you expecting? they're about making noise and playing and experimenting. I wouldn't come to one of walker's videos looking for a pop tune
4:10 "The woggle cv output chases the smooth out and when it catches up, it woggles." I love the anthropomorphizing :)
"Raw psychology". I love you guys.
2:51 never thought I'd see the day when a machine would be able to play John Coltrane's Giant Steps
Damn I love this thing. This and my rampage are used in almost every patch I make
Such a crazy fun module and amazing take on the classic versions.
Thanks!
I’ve just taken delivery of one of these blighters… I swear I could feel it twitching inside the box, fighting to get out. I sense trouble ahead!
That's simply nuts.

Richter Oscillator 2 is awesome!
What is the strip of inputs or outputs in the middle of the shared system ?
It's the CV Bus. Find out more at www.makenoisemusic.com/cases/7u-steel-cv-bus-case-matte-black

Amazing!!!
How do i shuffle with it? Maths into speed?
Good idea!

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC That makes very much sence! Thanks for answering! Thanks for making what you make!
They say that the wogglebug's clock is extremely stable, but I have found it to be a little shuffly. Am I doing something wrong?
Nice!
Can this module stay stable or only random?
I was looking at the Turing Machine, but this also seems very interesting. Is it possible to "lock" particular sections so it loops the voltages?
Ah I fear I asked a silly question. I was hoping that the Ego/ID pot was a locking control, but I'm guessing that it's a range control for the output.

glad I waited.
How come, if I have had a Wogglebug for more than 2 years, I never realized it had a clock output...Doh!!
IDIOT

I hope this one helps a bit, but it remains an angry monster. th-cam.com/video/RaZTtWet_1Q/w-d-xo.html

@@zbsfm there is a lot of the spectrum in between chaos and a pop tune....
It is not for you.
