Olivella Foldist – Spicy Wavefolder.
A Serge-inspired wavefolder that pushes far beyond the classic design, combining aggressive JFET distortion, voltage-controlled feedback, and a built-in envelope for highly dynamic timbral shaping.
Key Features
- Serge-Style Wavefolding Core: Classic wavefolding with extended control over symmetry and harmonic complexity
- JFET Input Stage: Switchable distortion adds grit and enables folding of square wavesuncommon for traditional wavefolders
- Feedback (FDBK) Circuit: Voltage-controllable feedback with CV input and attenuator for evolving textures
- SYM Control (Bipolar): Shapes waveform symmetry with CV control for precise harmonic manipulation
- SPICE Mode: Routes feedback through a full-wave rectifier for more aggressive, chaotic tones
- Built-in VC Decay Envelope: Normalized to the fold CV input for immediate dynamic shaping
- PING Input: Converts incoming signals into triggers for the internal envelope generator
- Audio-Rate CV Capable: All CV inputs support high-speed modulation for complex, animated sounds
- ENV Output: Dedicated envelope output for integration with the rest of your system
Whats Included
- Olivella Modular Foldist module
- Power ribbon cable
Foldist stands out by integrating modulation, distortion, and wavefolding into a single compact module. It excels at everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to chaotic, saturated texturesmaking it a versatile tool for both tonal shaping and experimental sound design.
