Serge WAD Basics
Posted by hexenduction in Info: M-Class, Patch Tutorials on January 19th, 2010
The Wilson Analog Delay is a swamp monster disguised as a VC Delay. This video covers some of the basic functions and features of the WAD. No outboard effects were used for this video; all audio is direct to camera from the WAD m-odule.
To cut down on complicated patches and confusion, I tried to keep this demo simple and therefore the WAD is being used mainly for audio/cv processing. More advanced applications, traditional delays, ping-pongs, karplus strong effects and more will be covered in a future video.
Cheers!

The Smooth / Stepped Generator

Here is a brief overview of the SSG module using some of the patching techniques from the SSG Hi Jinx section on EGRES. Keep in mind this is just a handful of patches and this module is extremely robust. As always, experimentation yields the best results.

Analog Audio Destruction!
Posted by Bartlebooth in Patch Tutorials, The Daily Serge on July 15th, 2009
You think just because you’re using old-school analog gear you’ve got to leave your digital audio-mangling tricks behind? Wrong!! Because as Rex himself has said, “digital is just a sub-set of analog”. So why not use your Smooth & Stepped Generator as a sample-rate reducer/audio decimator. Here’s how:
(Note: this patch requires the Stepped section of the SSG and either a DTG, DSG or TGO)
- On the SSG, the Stepped RATE should be fully clockwise
- Plug the audio you want to decimate into SSG stepped IN.
- Run a DTG or DSG at audio rate and plug the GATE OUT into the SAMPLE in
- Take the SSG STEPPED OUT to your output module (XFAD, UAP,etc.)
Initially, you should hear your audio in its un-modified state. Now by playing with the rise and fall knobs on the DTG you can get different levels of pure analog audio destruction! Or for extra fun you can voltage control your sample-rate reduction by putting a varying CV into the blue IN jack on your DTG or TGO. Works great on drum loops and adds variety to sequenced lines from a TKB or Sequencer.
Have Fun!
