General

Warps Parasites

Warps is a multi-function cross-modulator by Mutable Instruments.

Warps Parasites is an alternate firmware by Matthias Puech, extending the original modes and adding completely new modes.

To change modes, hold the "Int Osc" Button and turn the Algorithm knob

Warps icons are extracted from Warps panel design, available on Github under CC-BY-SA-3.0 license.

Meta mode

Warps now acts like the stock firmware, with Algorithm smoothly morphing between modes.

Meta Mode


Equal-power crossfade from input 1 to 2.

Controls

Timbre Crossfade position


Input signals are summed and sent to a wavefolder.

Controls

Timbre Wavefolder amount


Input signals are "crudely multiplied" in a diode ring-modulator simulation.

Controls

Timbre Gain/clipping amount


Ring modulator.

Controls

Timbre Gain/soft clipping amount
