Introducing The Wave Transformer Transfiguration Oscillator Eurorack Module from EarthQuaker Devices
The Wave Transformer – Transfiguration Oscillator is EQDs second Eurorack Module. An all-analog, vintage voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator device, it features a wave shaping method that it is different from other complex units that are solely based upon classic wave-folding or filtration. With over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking and 7 simultaneous wave outputs, Wave Transformer can yield countless variations of the morphed waveform, by combining its novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM.
The Wave Transformer is a complex single oscillator with 7 audio outputs. Its method of wave shaping differs from other complex oscillators in that it is not based upon classic wave folding such as is common in West Coast synthesis, or filtration such as is common in East Coast synthesis.

- Standard 10-pin Eurorack power connector with a marking to notate the negative pins
This analog, vintage-voiced, voltage-controlled oscillator features over 8 octaves of accurate pitch tracking. Its 7 simultaneous wave outputs include a unique Complex output. This strange and novel output varies between a simple waveform (triangle, unless you patch a signal into the Shape Insert jack) and a complex transformation of the harmonic structure of the original waveform. It contains a unique mixture of the fundamental frequency, odd order harmonics, even order harmonics and subharmonics.
The module’s Transform control morphs from a basic waveform through many strange iterations into a complex, gnarled mass of audio mutations at the Complex output using an asymmetrical multi-differential audio transmutation circuit. You can yield countless variations on these permutations by combining this novel circuit with Hard Sync, Soft Sync, Linear FM and Exponential FM.
Additionally, you can mute the source waveform to use the circuit as a harmonic gate/VCA, rendering the Wave Transformer a voice unto itself. If that is not enough, there is a Shape Insert that allows you to transform external oscillations and modular-level audio sources.
