Wave scanning

it is a pretty awesome topic… what potential ways do you believe it could be implemented?

In a way, the PW slider when using oscillator 2 is the only current way to have control over the shape of the waveform, with LFO 1 or ENV1 being the selectable mod source.

Introducing things like a third envelope etc. seem like a departure from the original architecture… and the goal here is tonal variation and adding the fun of wavetable synthesis to the super 6!

Here’s an idea for an implementation of wave scanning on the Super 6

Wave button : A static LED means that wave A is being selected, and a blinking LED means wave B is being selected.

Mod amount encoder : When two different waveforms have been selected and the wave LED is on (either static or blinking), the mod amount encoder scans between the two waveforms.

Matrix modulation assignment : In order to assign sources in the matrix to wave scanning, first hold the modulation source’s button and while holding, press the wave button. Then use the mod amount encoder to assign modulation

LFO 1 assignment to wave scanning : While shift mode is activated, the LFO1 TO FILTER fader controls the amount of modulation from LFO 1 to wave scanning.

I wonder where we are up to with this topic? The super 6 having wave scanning would be next level. Completely opens the synth up even further. I wonder how wave-scannning and super DDS works. I wonder if the wavescanning can happen in stereo? @udo-audio how far along this idea have you come?

I agree, that would be great to know. :slight_smile:
