Serge WAD Basics

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!

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!

Without some Pomona cables, your Serge will be sad and hungry. The best deal on the web right now for Pomona cables is www.testpath.com
Feed your system...yum!
The Pomona PVC Stacking cords are the ones your Serge wants and they range in price from $4.40-$4.80 per cord depending on length.
Sound Transform Systems, Cynthia and Modcan all provide package sets of Pomona Cables for your system as well, but then you’re stuck with whatever colors/sizes they have in stock. Testpath provides a resource for you to assemble your cords a la carte based on your specific needs and color choices.
They also carry the very sexy Pomona 1508 Test Lead Holder and believe me, it’s been a real necessity for keeping the music room nice and tidy. The last thing you need to worry about is slipping on a banana…cable. Bah dum dum
And while you’re there make sure to pick up a Pomona Adapter with the spade head for all your grounding needs. They’re only $1.57 and allow you to interface your Serge with other systems. That my friends, is priceless! Stay tuned for an in-depth grounding tutorial coming soon!
