Sag-Dīd Ritual Wavefolder

Terrarium + Daisy Seed · Mono

The west-coast wavefolder on Terrarium hardware: sub-octave generation, tilt EQ, an envelope filter, and a sweepable phaser, all controlled by four simple two-position switches. Fold the waveform back on itself for bright, bell-like, vowel-y harmonics, then freeze or octave-jump on the footswitch.

Signal Chain

Input → optional sub-octave (SW1) → wavefolder (Fold) → tilt-shift EQ (Tilt) → optional envelope filter (SW4, Sensitivity) → phaser (Depth/Rate, targeted by SW2) → Volume → output.

Knobs

Knob	Function
KNOB 1	Volume
KNOB 2	Fold (wavefold amount — reflects the waveform on itself, stacking harmonics)
KNOB 3	Tilt (tilt-shift EQ — CCW dark, noon flat, CW bright)
KNOB 4	Sensitivity (envelope filter responsiveness; active only when SW4 is on)
KNOB 5	Phaser Depth
KNOB 6	Phaser Rate

Wavefolding: unlike a clipper that flattens peaks, the folder reflects the signal back when it exceeds a threshold, adding new harmonics each time it folds. More Fold = more reflections = denser, more ring-mod-like, octave-rich timbres. It's the heart of the pedal.

Switches

Switch	Function
SW1	Sub-octave on/off (adds a sub-octave voice under the folded signal)
SW2	Phaser target — full / lows only
SW3	FSW2 mode — freeze / octave-up
SW4	Envelope filter on/off (enables the Sensitivity-controlled auto-wah)

Footswitches

Switch	Action
FS1	Bypass
FS2	FSW2 — freeze the buffer or jump an octave per SW3.

Usage tip: SW1 on (sub) with Fold around 1–2 o'clock and Tilt just past noon gives a fat, harmonically rich lead. Flip SW4 on and add a little Sensitivity so the filter opens on hard picking. Set SW3 to freeze and hold FS2 to sustain a folded chord into a pad.

WOOF v3 + Daisy Seed · Stereo · MIDI · Expression

A west-coast wavefolder: instead of clipping the signal flat, it reflects the waveform back on itself, multiplying harmonics into bright, bell-like, vowel-y timbres. Stack a sub or octave-up underneath, sweep the tilt EQ, open an envelope filter, and run the whole thing through a sweepable phaser. The FSW2 footswitch freezes the buffer or jumps an octave, and MIDI notes can drive the fold, phaser, and a glitch stutter.

Signal Chain

Input → octave/sub generation (SW1) → wavefolder (Fold) → tilt-shift EQ (Tilt) → envelope filter (Sensitivity) → phaser (Depth/Rate, targeted by SW2) → Volume → output. Folding happens before the filters so the EQ and envelope shape the harmonics the folder generates rather than feeding them in.

Knobs

Knob	Function	Behavior
KNOB 1	Volume	Output level. Folding adds substantial harmonic energy, so expect to pull this back from the clean unity point.
KNOB 2	Fold	Wavefold amount. Low = a touch of edge on peaks. As you turn up, the waveform reflects more times per cycle, stacking octaves and odd harmonics into clangorous, ring-mod-like territory. The single most important knob.
KNOB 3	Tilt	Tilt-shift EQ. A single control that pivots the spectrum around a center frequency — counter-clockwise tilts toward dark/bassy (cuts highs, boosts lows), clockwise tilts toward bright/thin (boosts highs, cuts lows). Noon is flat. Tames or accentuates the fizz the folder produces.
KNOB 4	Sensitivity	Envelope filter responsiveness — how far and how hard the dynamic filter sweeps in response to your picking. Low = subtle wah on hard hits; high = quacky, vowel-y auto-wah on everything. Inert when the filter is bypassed (see DIP/switch notes).
KNOB 5	Phaser Depth	Depth of the phaser sweep — how much the all-pass notches move. At zero the phaser is effectively off; at max you get deep, hollow whooshing.
KNOB 6	Phaser Rate	LFO speed of the phaser sweep, slow swells through fast warble.

3-Position Toggles

SW1 — Octave

CenterRaw only. The folder works on the dry input pitch alone. LeftSub + raw. Adds a sub-octave underneath the folded voice for weight and a fuller fundamental to fold against. RightSub + octave up. Sub-octave plus an octave-up voice — the widest harmonic spread, brightest and most synth-like.

SW2 — Phaser Target

CenterFull. The phaser processes the entire folded signal. LeftLows only. Phaser is band-limited to the low end — adds motion to the body while highs stay static. RightHighs only. Phaser sweeps just the top end — shimmer and sparkle motion over a solid low end.

SW3 — FSW2 Mode

CenterMomentary octave-up. Hold FS2 to jump the output an octave; releases when you let go. LeftMomentary freeze. Hold FS2 to freeze the buffer into a sustained pad; releases on let-go. RightLatching freeze. Tap FS2 to latch an infinite freeze on/off, hands-free.

DIP Switches — MIDI Note Routing

Each DIP routes incoming MIDI note pitch (and/or velocity) to a destination, so a sequencer or keyboard can play the folder dynamically. Multiple DIPs can be on at once.

DIP	Mapping
DIP 1	MIDI note → Fold amount. Higher notes fold harder.
DIP 2	MIDI note → Phaser depth.
DIP 3	MIDI note → Phaser rate.
DIP 4	MIDI note → Glitch stutter. Notes trigger buffer-stutter glitches for rhythmic, sequenced chaos.

Footswitches

Switch	Action
FS1	Bypass (fires on release).
FS2	FSW2 — freeze or octave-up per SW3 (momentary or latching per the chosen mode).
FS1+FS2	0.5 s hold — Expression Set Mode.
FS1+FS2	2 s hold — clear expression mappings.
FS1+FS2	at power-up — DFU bootloader.

MIDI

Message	Mapping
CC 14–19	Knobs 1–6 (with takeover).
CC 20	Bypass (≥ 64 = bypassed).
CC 21	FSW2 (≥ 64 = active).
Note On	Routed to fold / phaser depth / phaser rate / glitch stutter per the enabled DIP switches.

Expression Jack

Defaults unmapped — suggested target: KNOB 2 (Fold) for foot-swept harmonic intensity, or KNOB 6 (Phaser Rate). Assign via FS1+FS2 0.5 s Set Mode.

Usage tip: for a classic west-coast lead, set SW1 to Sub+raw, Fold around 1–2 o'clock, Tilt just past noon, and a slow Phaser on Full. Pick dynamics with a touch of Sensitivity make the folder "speak." For sequenced synth lines, enable DIP 1 (note→fold) and DIP 4 (note→stutter) and drive it from a MIDI keyboard.

Hothouse + Daisy Seed · Mono · 3-position toggles

The west-coast wavefolder on Hothouse hardware: sub/octave generation, tilt EQ, envelope filter, and a sweepable phaser, with the Terrarium's switches compressed into three 3-position toggles. No DIPs or MIDI. Footswitches are reversed from Terrarium per Hothouse convention — FS1 is FSW2, FS2 bypasses.

Signal Chain

Input → octave/sub generation (TOGGLE 1) → wavefolder (Fold) → tilt-shift EQ (Tilt) → envelope filter (Sensitivity) → phaser (Depth/Rate, targeted by TOGGLE 2) → Volume → output.

Knobs

Knob	Function	Behavior
KNOB 1	Volume	Output level. Pull back from unity — folding adds a lot of harmonic energy.
KNOB 2	Fold	Wavefold amount. Reflects the waveform on itself, stacking octaves and odd harmonics into clangorous, bell-like timbres. The core control.
KNOB 3	Tilt	Tilt-shift EQ. CCW = dark/bassy, CW = bright/thin, noon = flat. Tames or accentuates the folder's fizz.
KNOB 4	Sensitivity	Envelope filter responsiveness to picking dynamics. Low = subtle, high = quacky auto-wah.
KNOB 5	Phaser Depth	Depth of the all-pass sweep. Zero ≈ phaser off; max = deep hollow whoosh.
KNOB 6	Phaser Rate	Phaser LFO speed, slow swell to fast warble.

3-Position Toggles

TOGGLE 1 — Octave

UpSub + raw. Sub-octave underneath the folded voice. MiddleRaw only. Folder works on the dry input alone. DownSub + octave up. Widest harmonic spread, brightest and most synth-like.

TOGGLE 2 — Phaser Target

UpLows only. Phaser band-limited to the low end. MiddleFull. Phaser processes the whole folded signal. DownHighs only. Phaser sweeps just the top end.

TOGGLE 3 — FSW2 Mode

UpMomentary freeze. Hold FS1 to freeze the buffer; releases on let-go. MiddleMomentary octave-up. Hold FS1 to jump an octave; releases on let-go. DownLatching freeze. Tap FS1 to latch an infinite freeze on/off.

Footswitches (note: reversed from Terrarium)

Switch	Action
FS1 (left)	FSW2 — freeze or octave-up per TOGGLE 3.
FS2 (right)	Bypass.

Usage tip: TOGGLE 1 down (sub + octave up) with Fold past noon and TOGGLE 2 on Highs gives a bright, sparkling synth-fold; latch a freeze (TOGGLE 3 down) to hold a chord as a drone and play a folded lead over it.

LED 1 (left): FSW2 active (freeze/octave-up).
