G515 STATIC WAVEFOLDER

Classic  serial  wavefolder  topology, with  additional  gain
between each stage.  The added gain multiplies  the number of
folds from the previous stage;  the total number of folds for
each stage  is then (3^n)-1, or  2, 8, and 26  folds for each
stage, respectively.

Additionally, this topology creates formant like behaviors at
the 3rd stage output. As each stage has gain added, the slope
of the resulting  wave will not only fold  over, but increase
in  degree as  the input  voltage approaches  0. Formant-like
tones  come out  as a  result,  though these  will always  be
harmonically locked to the  input frequency. In practice, for
example, it can  make a sawtooth wave sound a  lot like a car
engine.

This module  was designed  for applying nonlinear  control to
CV  inputs,  as  well  as an  extreme  distortion  unit.  The
folding behavior creates differently  spaced deadzones in the
voltage transfer function, resulting  in a gated-fuzz at some
settings, and high-gain distortion at others.
