The Spherical Wavetable Navigator (SWN) of 4ms is a mixture of six-part Wavetable oscillator and Synthvoice. Each voice can have its own pitch setting (with or without quantizer), volume and individual waveform. Twelve spherical wavetables are available ex works, and 108 more can be added by the user. Six internal LFOs/envelopes, which also have their own outputs, bring a lot of dynamics to the sound sequences. The six LFOs/envelopes are based on a pool of at least thirteen typical waveforms and twelve complex shapes, which can be synchronized to the clock and adjusted with their own dividers or multipliers for each voice.
Even more waveforms
The SWN internally offers the possibility to create new waveforms from input audio material. Alternatively, new waveform material can be transferred to the module via an audio cable using the free SphereEdit software, which runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.
High musicality
That the Spherical Wavetable Navigator has a lot to offer, should now be foreseeable. The tonal density generated by the six voices is remarkable. In addition, the SWN is much more than an opulent drone synth, but harmonic distances between the oscillators lead to a very musical interplay. Since each voice has its own VCA, the term Synthvoice is more than justified.
