THREE FLAVORS OF DISTORTION
š /GAIN: digital input gain (3) capable of up to 10x digital signal ampliļ¬cation
with light saturation, adjusted with ROUTING + TONE/gain*
š DISTORTION: 8x oversampled distortion algorithm with a single (8) knob
control
š /DRIVE: ļ¬nal output saturator when VOLUME (34) is pushed to the end of its
range after 3 oāclock as indicated around the knob on the panel
THREE FLAVORS OF FILTER
VCF
š Bipolar LOW-PASS / HIGH-PASS ļ¬lter aka isolator opens LP from
silence at CCW to clean unprocessed sound at noon and closes smoothly in HP
silence at CW
š BAND-PASS ļ¬lter (BPF) with the resonance setting the width of the band
š COMB ļ¬lter with resonator at high resonance settings.
To switch the ļ¬lter type you simply press the BPF /comb* button (25). A single press
will switch the ļ¬lter type to a band-pass, and a combination of ROUTING +
BPF /comb* buttons will change the ļ¬lter type to Comb, which is also capable of
self-oscillation at full CW or CCW RESONANCE settings. Resonance knob (26)
behavior in Comb ļ¬lter is special: it is bipolar, so from noon (zero resonance) it
either adds negative (CCW) or positive combs (CW).
LO-FI
FW V3.0
Two new rectifying eļ¬ects added in the ļ¬rmware update V3: bitrate and sample rate
reducers. By lowering audio ļ¬delity, they radically bring aliasing to the audio path
the more we turn them up ā use on your own discretion creatively to add lo-fi ļ¬avor.
Those both eļ¬ects always stand after the VCF block in the routing chain and are
great to be enriched with the resonance.
š BITRATE REDUCER
FW V3.0
a.k.a. BITCRUSHER: set by holding
ROUTING while turning DISTORTION knob ā lowers the BITRATE amount output of
the FILTER chain: full 24 bits at CCW and crushing to a certain moment until the
audio falls apart to noisy clicks and buzzes. Default value at CCW (clean signal).
NOTE: bitrate reduction may cause audio dropouts if the audio level is too low (e.g. line
level). You can adjust that by holding ROUTING + TONE/gain* more to 50-100%.
