MultiWAVE
8-channel dual wavetable oscillator for the New Universal Synthesizer System or any Eurorack modular synthesizer. Uses a single set of controls and macro modulation functions to generate eight unique audio waveforms at eight independent channel outputs. Each channel contains two independent wavetable oscillators (Osc A and Osc B).729
Capabilities 3
- Custom Wavetable Loadingcustom-wavetable-loading
- Connect via USB-C while holding MODE button; module appears as external drive 'MULTIWAVE'. Wavetables in WAV format, compatible with WaveEdit software by Synthesis Technology. 8 banks of 8 wavetables each.729
- MIDImidi
- USB-C MIDI host input (requires firmware 4.1.6+). Supports standard MIDI on Channel 1, per-channel on Channels 2–9, global transpose on Channel 10, MPE (Low Zone/Lower Zone), pitch bend, and CC assignments for Spread, Detune, Glide, Blend, Osc A Wave, Osc A Expo, Osc B Wave, and Multimod Time.729

| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (11) | |||
| A-Wave CV Input | cv | — | Control voltage input for Osc A Wave position. Patching this input disconnects A-Wave from Spread and uses CV input for Modulation Dissemination instead.729 |
| Accumulate Input | gate | — | When patched, all Activation messages will be held by the target Channel(s) until gate is received at Accumulate. Channels display Orange to indicate they are being held.729 |
| Activate Input | gate | — | Gate input. At rising edge, Channels Activate according to Span control as determined by current Span Mode.729 |
| B-Wave CV Input | cv | — | Control voltage input for Osc B Wave position. Patching disconnects B-Wave from Spread and uses CV input for Modulation Dissemination instead.729 |
| Blend CV Input | cv | — | 729 |
| Detune CV Input | cv | — | 729 |
| Glide CV Input | cv | — | 729 |
| Mod Time CV Input | cv | — | Control voltage input for Mod Time. Patching disconnects Mod Time from Spread and uses CV input for Modulation Dissemination instead.729 |
| Pitch Exponential Input | cv | — | Control voltage input for Osc A Pitch. Patching disconnects from Spread and uses Modulation Dissemination. Tracks 1v/oct when Follow is Off and Pitch Attenuverter is set fully clockwise.729 |
| Span CV Input | cv | — | Control Voltage input for Span parameter. Modulate with any control signal, or patch Channel Index output from other N.U.S.S. module.729 |
| Spread CV Input | cv | — | 729 |
| Outputs (9) | |||
| Channel Index Output | cv | — | Sends a Control Voltage indicating currently Activated channel. Patch to Span input on other N.U.S.S. modules.729 |
| OUT 1 | audio | — | 729 |
| OUT 2 | audio | — | 729 |
| OUT 3 | audio | — | 729 |
| OUT 4 | audio | — | 729 |
| OUT 5 | audio | — | Channel 5 individual output. When output mixing is ON: mono mix of all eight channels, Osc A only.729 |
| OUT 6 | audio | — | Channel 6 individual output. When output mixing is ON: mono mix of all eight channels, Osc B only.729 |
| OUT 7 | audio | — | Channel 7 individual output. When output mixing is ON: odd channels only.729 |
| OUT 8 | audio | — | Channel 8 individual output. When output mixing is ON: even channels only.729 |
Parameters 19
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blend | knob | — | Sets the output mix between Osc A and Osc B. Live input via Blend CV Input.729 |
| Detune | knob | — | Global detune across all eight voices. In tune at counterclockwise. Set low for beating/chorusing or high for 'harmonic oscillator' effects where voices spread out into the harmonic series.729 |
| Glide | knob | — | Sets glide amount between old and new pitch value upon reception of change in 1v/oct signal upon channel Activation. No glide occurs when a voice is Activated with the same V/Oct value as its previous activation.729 |
| Mod Time | knob | — | Sets the rate of wavetable modulation (Multi-Mod LFO). Spreadable parameter — can be different per voice via Spread or Modulation Dissemination.729 |
| Mod Time Attenuverter | knob | — | Bipolar input attenuator for Mod Time Modulation Dissemination or Spread amount.729 |
| Mode Button | button | — | Selects Span Mode (Channel Index/Round/Parallel/Shift Register), indicated by Span Activity Window color.729 |
| Osc A Follow Button | button | — | Sets Osc A Pitch Follow behavior. Free = independent pitch; Pink = Expo Detune ±1 octave; Magenta = Linear Detune (consistent Hz offset); Cyan = Octaves; Green = Integer Multiply ratios of Osc B pitch.729 |
| Osc A Mod Shape Button | button | — | Selects the shape used to read through the wavetable for Osc A timbre modulation. Options: Off, Ramp/Forward, Saw/Backward, Triangle/Ping-Pong, Sine/Wow-Flutter Ping-Pong, Staircase, Orange/Stepped Random, Yellow/Smooth Random. On Page 2 selects Mod Region.729 |
| Osc A Pitch Attenuverter | knob | — | Bipolar input attenuator for Pitch Modulation Dissemination or Spread amount. When Follow is off, set fully clockwise for 1v/oct response.729 |
| Osc A Pitch Panel Control | knob | — | Sets starting Pitch for Osc A according to the selected Follow mode. Spreadable parameter.729 |
| Osc A Wave Attenuverter | knob | — | Bipolar input attenuator for Osc A Wave Position Modulation Dissemination or Spread amount. On Page 2, selects wavetable bank.729 |
| Osc A Wave Panel Control | knob | — | Sets wave position in the currently loaded wavetable for Osc A. Spreadable parameter. On Page 2, selects wavetable table.729 |
| Osc B Mod Shape Button | button | — | On Page 2, selects Multimod Activation behavior: OFF (free running), Magenta (reset on Activation), Cyan (one-shot on Activation). In normal operation selects Osc B mod shape.729 |
| Osc B Pitch Fine Tune | knob | — | Fine control of starting Pitch for Osc B.729 |
| Osc B Wave Panel Control | knob | — | Sets wave position in the currently loaded wavetable for Osc B. Spreadable parameter. On Page 2, selects wavetable table.729 |
| Quantization Follow Button | button | — | On Page 2, enables quantization. OFF = none; YELLOW = 12-TET, affects Pitch, Transpose and V/Oct, locks oscillators to A=440 when fine tune is at noon.729 |
| Span | knob | — | Sets the Channel Span for Activation according to current Span Mode. In Channel Index mode selects the active channel; in Round mode sets step size; in Parallel mode sets clock divisions. Span at 12:00 selects no channel in Channel Index mode.729 |
| Span CV Input attenuverter | knob | — | Bipolar input attenuator for Span CV Input.729 |
| Spread Combo Pot | knob | — | Bipolar panel control for Spread. Sets direction and amount of modulation sent to unpatched Spreadable parameters. When Spread CV Input is patched, operates as bipolar attenuator.729 |
