Olivella Modular Foldist: Serge-Style Wavefolding with a Spicy Twist
Foldist brings the iconic sound of West Coast synthesis into a modern 8HP footprint. At its core is a Serge-style wavefolder, but Olivella has added multiple layers of sonic aggression and versatility.The module features a switchable JFET input stage for warm saturation, which remarkably allows for the folding of square waves—a feat typically impossible for standard folders.The unique "SPICE" function routes feedback through a full-wave rectifier for untamed, metallic textures.Best of all, a built-in VC decay envelope is normalled to the Fold input, allowing you to generate organic, percussive "pings" instantly without additional external modules.
Key Features:
Serge-Type Wavefolder: Delivers rich, complex harmonic folding for any analogue signal.
Integrated VC Decay Envelope: Internally wired to the Fold parameter; perfect for percussive textures.
SPICE Feedback Circuit: Routes feedback through a rectifier for harsh, non-linear harmonic distortion.
JFET Saturation Stage: Adds analogue warmth and enables unique square-wave folding.
DC-Coupled Architecture: Suitable for processing both audio and control voltages (when JFET is off).
