Hello,everybody!

I have been quite busy for a long time, but now I have time to submit some things on the forum. My current post is Roller-Baller. Read the below instructions for details.

The "Roller-baller" (X/Y Pad) was originally designed by Angular Momentum. The Wave-morph oscillator taken from the Audiooak-module pack. The ADSR:s visual display by Tention (I think). Knobs designed by me using KnobMan.

Roller-Baller:

Features:

1 Wave-morpher section. This consists of the Roller-ball itself which controls the morphing between the Oscillators waveforms.

If the "Run" switch is off, then the balls movement will only be altered manually by clicking it and moving it with the mouse. The movement will be shown in the Oscillators display.

If the "Run" switch is on, then the balls movement will be controlled by the 2 free-running LFO:s inside the Wave-morpher.

The 2 LFO:s are controlled by the 4 sliders to the left of and beneath the Roller-ball.The 2 sliders on the left control the Y-axis speed and depth, while the bottom-most sliders controls the X-axis in the same way. In the bottom left corner you will find the Trajectory waveforms which lets the Roller-ball move in 4 various ways across its square.

1 Wave-morph Oscillator.In the large display you will see the morph action, as well as the PWM and PHZ controlled by the assigned knobs.There is also a detuner which is superfluos in the modules current state, but will be of good use in case you build a synth out of it which includes another Osc-section. The velocity-knob determines the oscillators volume according to how hard you hit your midi-keyboards keys.

1 Amp-envelope of the standard ADSR type with visual display and a vol-slider for the Oscillators overall volume.

I hope someone will find this interresting and useful. Feel free to use and/or modify it at your own leisure.

Have fun!!! NekroBat

Thanx man! Although this module might have some improvements to be done, it still works quite well I think. As you can see in the OSM, I have included LFO-inputs for the Phaze and PWM functions, which might make the oscillator act even more drastic and insanely! Another thing I thought to include is a second trajectory-wave selector to make the X- and Y- axises move independantly from eachother (very easy to do, but I just wanted to post a simple thing that looked good). You can also of course change the waveforms into anything you´d think would be interresting (I think Sawtooth- and Ramp-waves could create some wild movements here). I don´t know how CPU intense my solution is in bigger projects but guess that someone here would be able to make it work more smoothly in that respect.

This is very much an experiment at the moment...

Glad you liked it! 🙂
