WOBBLER²

Wobbler² is an advanced LFO & a drum synthesizer. This is our original Wobbler with an upgrade!

The Wobbler² still is the LFO that adds controlled chaos to your sound and has five shapes, two of which are based on physical modelling. These five shapes now have five corresponding regions of drum.
This upgrade of our Wobbler is entirely made possible by Raspberry Pi. Their RP2040 is a powerful little monster that gave us the compute to bang on. Twang and Double Pendulum already had a percussive element and a decay story to it. The jump to add a drum synth felt logical. Besides, you always need more drums.

Wobbler² still gives you direct visual feedback of your CV output.
You can see the LFO wobble and the drum hit.

ADVANCED LFO MODE
A classical music instrument always contains some natural chaos giving depth to its’ sound. In synthesized sound usually you have to make a choice between being in complete control of a flat sound or allowing randomness to run wild and give it character. We have used fresh takes on classical LFO generation and physical modelling as a modulation source so that Wobbler² can give you the best of both worlds – naturally occurring chaos that you can control.

  • With the SHAPE knob you select between five shapes
    • Basic LFO
    • Self-phased LFO
    • Twang
    • Double pendulum
    • Sample-and-hold
  • The MOD knob controls shape specific modulation
  • The big FREQUENCY knob changes the speed at which it oscillates
  • The SYNC input will change the FREQUENCY knob into a sub-divider of the incoming tempo
  • The PHASE knob controls the phase difference between the two outputs
  • SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
  • The TRIGGER button can reset the phase of the LFO or restart the algorithm depending on your SHAPE selection
  • Both outputs have a knob to alter or invert the amplitude of the signal
  • Both outputs also have their own trigger output – sending a trigger at the start of each new phase
  • The two LED arrays show you the generated CV levels of each output

DRUM SYNTHESIZER MODE
With the push of the BANG ON! button you shift the Wobbler² into drumming mode. Giving you a range of drum sounds, with five regions of recognizable drums and a lot to explore in between. There are multiple percussive sets with real and imaginary drums to bang on. Along with the drum Wobbler² provides the envelope or the negated envelope (ducking) and adds flexibility on the decay of both envelopes. Play with it, see how you feel.

  • With the REGIONS OF DRUM knob you select a region of 5 drum styles
    • Big drum
    • Block
    • Sproing
    • Snare drum
    • Hi-hat
  • The LENGTH parameter controls the sound or the silence
  • The ALTER parameter controls modulation, which means something else for every drum synthesizer
  • The big FREQUENCY knob changes the pitch
  • The ACCENT input adds an accent
  • SHAPE, FREQUENCY, PHASE and MOD all have CV inputs
  • The TRIGGER button bangs the drum
  • DRUM output parameter ranges between distortion or compression of your drum sound
  • ENVELOPE output parameter ranges between the normal and negated envelope of your drum sound
  • Both outputs also have their own trigger output
  • One LED arm will show you when the drum hits and the other LED arm shows you the associated envelope moving

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.
