Frequently Asked Questions

What are the shipping rates?

We offer free shipping on orders $100+ and under 32kg to metro areas in ACT, NSW, VIC, and QLD. If you are in a regional area we will subsidise your delivery rates. You can calculate shipping in the checkout and on product pages with your postcode.
All orders under $100 are charged at minimum $10 shipping.

Basic vs Standard vs Express Shipping

Express 1-5 days.
Standard 2-10 days.
Basic 4-10 days.
Our shipping platform will automatically determine and display the Express or Standard shipping options that are available to you.
Delivery times are determined by how far you are away from our store in Canberra.
If Express is not displaying, you're either located too far away from our store in Canberra, or the Standard shipping option will get it to you just as fast for the same price.

What payment methods do you offer?

We offer secure checkout options like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Zip Pay and Bank Deposit.
American Express payments are also accepted, although most AmEx transactions will require manual authorization after payment (Someone from the team will contact you to confirm the transaction after checkout)

Can I cancel my order?

If you need to cancel your order it is best to give our online team a call on (02) 6282 3199
On weekends our online team may not be operating. Either give us a call Monday morning or reply to your order email and we will get back to you asap.

Description

The Wave Transformer is an analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator with over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. It has 7 simultaneous wave outputs, including a unique Complex output.

The Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM. Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering The Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources.

Features
 
Panel Controls
 
Sub Source: Selects either the internal oscillator or the signal patched into the Shape Insert jack for use in generating sub octaves. This control affects the Complex, Sub Pulse and Sub Square outputs. Leave this set to “INT” unless you are tracking an external source.

Sub Octave: Selects between 1 octave down, 2 octaves down or muting the sub octaves. This control affects the Complex and Sub Square outputs. The Sub Pulse output is unaffected by this control, as it is fixed to 1 octave down.

Complex Source: Selects between muting and unmuting the source wave for the Complex output. 

Tune: Course control of the pitch of the oscillator, spanning approximately 7 octaves.

Fine Tune: Fine control of the pitch of the oscillator, spanning a little more than 1 octave.

µTune (Micro Tune): Ultra fine control of the oscillator, spanning approximately 25 cents.

Pulse Width: Varies the Pulse Width of the Rectangle output between 0%–100%. At 0% or 100% Pulse Width, the Rectangle output is silent.

Transform: Morphs the Complex output from a triangle wave through multiple iterations into a strange and harmonically complex waveform, using an asymmetrical multi-differential audio transmutation circuit.
Inputs
 
Hard Sync: Accepts +/-5 volts. Uses the incoming signal to reset the phase of the oscillator to a particular phase, depending on the polarity of the incoming pulses.

Soft Sync: Accepts +/–5 volts. Positive pulses at this input will cause the upper peak of the waveform to prematurely change direction, while negative pulses will cause the lower peak to prematurely change direction.

V/Octave: Accepts traditional volt/octave CV to control pitch.

Shape Insert: Accepts +/-5 volts. Allows the insertion of another waveform or modular-level signal to be mutated by the Transform circuit. The new waveform will change the results heard at the Complex output.

Lin FM: Accepts +/-5 volts audio signals. Allows linear frequency modulation.

Expo FM: Accepts +/-10 volts. Allows exponential frequency modulation.

Pulse Width CV Input: Accepts +/-5 volts. Allows control or the pulse width of the Rectangle output from 0%–100% duty cycle.

Transform CV Input: Accepts 0-5 volts. Allows control of the Transform circuit. This CV input is added to the Transform panel control. Use the panel control to set the default Transformation from which you would like to modulate.

µTune CV Input: Accepts +/-10 volts. This is an exponential CV input that allows precise modulation of the oscillator pitch. This input can be used to sequence precise pitch bends, adding pitch instability with a random voltage source, or sequencing tiny changes in pitch for drone or microtonal music.

Outputs
 
Sine: +/-5 volts

Triangle: +/-5 volts

Saw: +/-5 volts

Complex: Up to +/-10 volts. This strange and novel output varies between a simple waveform (triangle, unless you patch a signal into the Shape Insert jack) and a complex transformation of the harmonic structure of the original waveform. It contains a unique mixture of the fundamental frequency, odd order harmonics, even order harmonics and subharmonics. The Sub Octave panel control will determine whether the sub harmonics are derived from one octave down, two octaves down, or are muted altogether. It will vary from a simple waveform to a silhouette of your cat watching you as you react to a “present” that it left for you on the counter. No, seriously.

Rectangle: +/-5 volts. The pulse width of this waveform is dependent upon the Pulse Width panel control and its associated CV input.

Sub Pulse: +/-5 volts. 25% duty cycle sub octave signal that is fixed to 1 octave lower than the source signal.

Sub Square: +/-5 volts. A sub octave square wave that is either 1 or 2 octaves down from the source signal, depending on the Sub Octave setting.
