WF-1 is a Eurorack format wavefolder with some extra functions. It can be used for audio signal manipulation or as a utility module for control voltages.
It has an IN signal that can be affected by the two control voltages P and N. The main output volume is controlled by the orange OUT knob.
The lines on the front panel are not just decoration. They are there to help understand the function of the module.
White lines shows the clean signal path from IN that can be blended in to the main mix ont on OUT. The level of clean signal is set on Clean.
Yellow lines shows the modulation signal path. P is the folding of the positive side of the IN signal and N is the folding of the negative side.
Both sides has the same controls.

Both sides has the same controls.
OffP is the offset signal, or threshold where the positive folding starts. Turned fully clockwise it will be above +5V and not affect an audio signal on the input. In the middle position it will start folding from 0V. Turning it further anticlockwise will make the positive folding start on the negative side, can be set all the way down to -5V.
OffN has the same function but is of cause polarity switched compared ti OffP. This means that turning both OffP and OffN max clockwise there will be no folding.
Knob P and N are attenuverters for adding CV control on top of the offsets OffP and OffN. Green/red LEDs show what are being added be the attenuverters.
The over all control of the amount of modulation is controlled by Mod. A green/red LED after the Mod control is showing the total combined modulation from the P and N side.
The switch Sym can change asymmetrical to symmetrical modulation. That is when Sym is on all modulation on P will be copied over to N and vice versa. In Sym mode OffN is disconnected, it would otherwise be in conflict with OffP.
FoP and FoN are logical signals that goes high when folder P respective N is active. Indicated by green/red LEDs. These signals are +/-5V so they can be used as audio signals. This is not a clean square wave, it has been shaped a bit to sound better.
The red knobs FoP and FoN are attenuverters. The output from them are normalised to the main mix OUT. This means that you could add or subtract a square waves that coincides with the folding.
With all the folding and adding of signals the output can easily end up with more than +/-5V so a limiter/distortion switch is added to limit the maximum volume out and to add some extra sonic possibilities. This affects the signal going out to the SUM output.
Function of the Lim/0/Dist switch is:
Middle position 0, bypassed. The output volume control has a range of 0 to 1 times amplification.
Lim position, a soft stepped limiter that adds a lot of harmonics. Not made to be transparent. The volume control has a range of 0 to 5 times amplification to be able to drive signals harder in to the limiter.
Dist position, almost Fuzz type of distortion, frequency dependent. The highs are rolled off a bit. The volume control has a range of 0 to 20 times amplification so it can be driven really hard in to the distortion.
Both the limiter and distortion are DC coupled and of cause works with control signals.
When something is connected to FoP or FoN that signal is disconnected from the main mix at SUM. This makes it possible to patch the three outputs from the module in many creative ways. As an example OUT can be a mono signal and FoP and FoN be treated as a stereo out for very big sounds.
The unit is 12hp wide and 27 mm deep including power connector.
How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK it's normally around £4 for order values under £150, and free above that. Shipping to mainland EU is typically between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of Parcelforce, DPD, Royal Mail and UPS for the UK, and for international orders it's either Royal Mail, UPS, DHL or FedEx depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we normally dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 15:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes FedEx or UPS may come a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Shipping times
Since April 2020 the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer.
There is absolutely nothing we can do about this unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Saturday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 15:30 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday delivery (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). The success rate with DPD is about 95% so it's worth a punt most of the time. Please note that if you select Saturday shipping on an order placed earlier in the week, we'll wait until Friday to ship it.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
