DIY MFOS Wave Freaker KB
We always recommend visiting the MFOS website before building where the latest 'offical' information and news can be found. Here on the Soundtronics website, you will find selected information from the MFOS site plus additional information and resources to aid the building and maintaining of your MFOS synth. This is not going to happen over-night but during the course of 2014, it will start to take shape as we document our experiences in the construction of these modules. We would also like to include any experiences, hints and tips from customers as well so feel free to contact us or simply post a comment using the form at the foot of this page.
Introduction to the MFOS Wave Freaker
This circuit takes a triangle or sine wave (or other non-square wave) and allows you to turn it progressively inside out yielding a totally cool sound (peak inversion). Additionally the triangle, sine (or ramp/saw) is converted to a cool hollow harmonic-rich type of sound. The modified triangle or sine wave output is further enhanced by the addition of a mixer for pulse wave, sub octave square wave and sub-sub octave square wave for very interesting harmonic rich sounds.Finally some new waveshapes beyond sine, tri, ramp, saw and square.
Features
- Turns a Triangle or Sine Wave Into a Harmonic-Rich Waveform.

- Inverted Peaks Wave (CV modulation capable)
- Stepped Wave (CV modulation capable)
- PWM Rectangle (CV modulation capable)
- Square Sub-octave of fundamental
- Square Sub-Sub-octave of fundamental
- Voltage Controlled Wave Shape Modulation
- Voltage Controlled Step Wave Modulation
