Wogglebug comparisons

The wogglebug is a great source of random voltage. Essential for all my patches.
It was inspired by the buchla 265
These 265s are very rare. I love the name ... the source of uncertainity.

Grant Richter of Wiard Synthesizers took inspiration from the "smooth" and "stepped" fluctuating random voltage sources that you can see on the 265 and came up with the wogglebug.
He expanded on this theme expanding it to such things as Woggle CVs (stepped voltages with decaying sinusoids edges).

There are many flavours of bug.

My first was the buchla version you can see on the right:

On the left is the Erica synths version in Eurorack format.
They are all slightly different.

The most common versions are from MakeNoise:


 No comparison would be complete without the orginals:
