Serge TWS+
SERGE
Waveshaper
(TWS+)
for Eurorack
The TRIPLE WAVESHAPER (TWS) is a non-
linear modifier which can transform a sawtooth
wave into a sine wave. This classic module
incorporates three independent waveshapers
for modifying synthesizer waveforms or for
processing signals from preamplified instruments.
Although originally designed as a waveshaper
for early Serge oscillators, this module has been
found to be a excellent modifier of electronic and
acoustic sounds, and is highly recommended for
subtle timbral modifications beyond the range of
simple oscillator/filter patches.
The R*S version extends the classic TWS
concept:
•
+1
:
An additional (4th) waveshaper has been added
(right after the first / bottom waveshaper) that
can be dialed in smoothly using the +1 knob. Turned down (CCW) the bottom section acts as in the
original (as if that additional waveshaper would not exist). Turned up (CW) the bottom section is actually 2
waveshapers in series.
•
Switches to link the 3 sections - bottom to top. Using these switches all sections can be set to act in
series, starting at the bottom and ending at the top, providing the combined effect of 3 to 4 waveshapers
(or anything in between) using the +1 knob.
•
Linking only the middle and top section and turning the +1 knob up (to have 2 sections in the bottom)
allows you to use the module for isntance as
two independent 2-stage waveshapers
(using bottom in
and out for one and middle in and top out for the other) - e.g. for stereo processing.
The Random*Source version is a licensed and authorized adaption of the original Serge design.
