Loose Cannon

A Wobble Filter Locked to Your Project.

Hold Engage and one bass note starts to talk.

Hold Engage and a low frequency oscillator opens and closes a resonant filter in time with your project, so one held bass note turns into a wub, a half-time growl or a talking bass. Let go and the dry signal is back, with a 10 ms crossfade either way. The oscillator keeps running while you're not holding the button, so the wobble always comes back in time.

With Sync on, the wobble takes its phase from the host's own position, so every loop, bounce and replay wobbles exactly the same and lines up with the bar. Rate runs from a 1/2 note down to a 1/32 including triplets, or 0.1 to 20 Hz when it's free. Five shapes, Sine, Triangle, Saw Up, Saw Down and Square, and the saw and square edges are slewed so they never click.

Cutoff is where the filter sits closed and Depth is how far it opens above that, up to six octaves, and the movement is exponential so it sounds even across the range. Spread offsets the right channel's wobble from the left, up to 180 degrees, so the growl moves across the stereo field.

Color and Presets

Pick a Color. Start From a Preset.

The Color knob changes the whole faceplate to any hue, fluorescent green by default, and it's a preference saved on your machine, not part of a preset or a session. Power Off turns the faceplate dark and passes the audio through untouched.

Ten factory presets plus Default are starting points, Classic Wub, Triplet Skip, Half Time Growl, Talking Bass, Fast Flutter, Wide Wobble, Slow Rise, Square Chop, Pump Filter and Rubber Band, and A/B, Save, Save As, Copy, Delete, Import and Export handle your own. The window resizes and remembers its size.
