Patch Ideas Analog/Control Voltages:
Voltage Controlled Transient Generator (Attack/ Decay Envelope)
A pulse or gate applied to the Trigger IN starts the transient function, which rises from 0V to 8V at a rate
determined by the Rise parameter, then Falls from 8V to 0V at a rate determined by the Fall parameter. This
function is re-trigger-able during the falling portion. Rise and Fall are independently voltage controllable, with
response as set by the Vari-Response panel Control.
Voltage Controlled Sustained Function Generator (A/S/R Envelope)
A gate applied to the Signal IN starts the function which rises from 0V to the level of the applied Gate at a rate deter-
mined by the Rise parameter. The function Sustains at that level until the Gate signal ends, then Falls from that level to
0V at a rate determined by the Fall parameter. Rise and Fall are independently voltage controllable, with variable
response as set by the Vari-Response panel Control.
Typical Voltage Controlled Triangle Function (LFO)
Push Cycle Button. Cycle LED lights. Set Rise and Fall Panel Control to NOON. Apply desired modulation to BOTH CV
input. Setting Rise and Fall parameters further CW will provide longer cycles. Setting these parameters further CCW will
provide short cycles, up to audio rate. The shape of the resulting function may be varied from LOG to LINEAR to EXPO
using the Vari-Response panel control.
Typical Voltage Controlled Ramp Function (LFO)
As above, only the Rise parameter is set FULL CCW, Fall parameter is set to at least NOON. Fall parameter as well as
the BOTH control voltage IN determines the rate.
VC LAG/ Slew Processor/ Portamento
A signal applied to the Signal IN is slewed according to the RISE and FALL parameters. Variable response from Log
through Linear to Exponential, as set by the Vari-Response panel Control. Portamento is traditionally LOG response. The
inverse of the resulting function is available at the Inverted Signal OUT. Independent Contours (Expo Rise w/ Log Fall
and vice versa) Set Vari-Response to Full CCW for Log response. Patch Inverted OUT to Rise CV IN. This yields Expo
Rise with Log Fall for most any function. If Inverted out is patched to Fall CV IN, Log Rise w/ Expo Fall is achieved. By
setting Vari-Response to Linear, combinations of Linear and Expo or Log are possible.
Envelope Follower
Apply Signal to be followed to Signal INSet Rise to NOON. Set and or modulate FALL Time to achieve different amounts of
Smoothing. Take output from Non-Inverted Signal OUT. Increasing the Fall Time to beyond 70% will result in the Peaks
being held for long periods of time. EOR and EOC will also indicate activity at the Signal IN. A variation on this patch has
EOR patched to the HANG IN. The Peak is detected and held until user resets (by removing patch cable from HANG IN).
Multiplication (VCA)
Apply positive going Control Signal to be multiplied to Signal IN. Set Rise and Fall to full CCW. Apply positive going
Control Signal (multiplier) to BOTH Control IN. Take output from Signal OUT.
