Getting Started

1. While your rack is powered down,
mount Warp and eventually the WarpEx expander
and then power the rack back on.
2. Patch Warp's OUT1 and OUT2 jacks to your speakers.
3. Send a gate CV to Warp's TRIG input and a pitch voltage to its V/Oct input.
4. Experiment with the presets available on the SD-card and adjust the potentiometers to
explore different sounds.
NOTE: Presets contain all internal parameters, but not the position of the potentiometers.
5. If you wish to use Warp as an oscillator rather than a synth voice, navigate to
Settings > Global and activate oscillator mode. This ensures that Envelope 1 (volume)
maintains a consistent minimum output level whenever a new preset is loaded, allowing
Warp to produce output even without a TRIG signal.

Shape the overtone spectrum
with a variable filter response.
Warp's GalaXY comprises a 32 by 16 grid of overtone spectra. Each voice begins by selecting
one spectrum, which forms the base for the subsequent signal path and defines the voice's timbre.
The resulting overtone
spectrum.
The overtone spectrum is
translated into a one-cycle
waveform. The Warp section
applies up to four effects
on the waveform.

Stretches the waveform

Osc & Mix
Each of the 4 voices has a pair
of wavetable oscillators. They
can be individually adjusted for
pitch and volume and interact
through a range of effects.
