Mutable Instruments Warps

The Mutable Instruments Warps Meta-Modulator is a Eurorack module that has been based on Oscillator mixing sections from Mutable Instruments desktop hybrid synths. A variety of wave-shaping and cross-modulation methods – some of them emulating classic analog circuits, some of them purely digital – are provided by the module.

Cross-Modulated sounds can be manipulated via control voltages in 4 dimensions; distortion of the input, by amplitude control, combing through the modulation algorithms and adjusting brightness/harshness with a timbre parameter.

Since many classic cross-modulation effects work best when the carrier is a simple waveform – for example, a sine wave for ring-modulation or a buzzing waveform for vocoding – Warps includes a digital oscillator offering a handful of classic waveforms. This internal oscillator, which tracks V/Oct and supports through-zero FM, will replace the carrier audio input – freeing up one oscillator in your system for other duties!
