the plucked response. Turn the [DYN CV KNOB] to the right to blend the pluck response with the incoming CV or gate
signal. The [RESPONSE KNOB] controls the decay time of the incoming [DYNAMICS CV JACK] signal.
Dynamics Controller A/B Mixer
Each dynamics controller has a two input mixer. The [INPUT KNOB] sets the balance between the A & B signals, and can
work as an attenuator or mixer depending on how many signals are patched in.
Dynamics Controller Input Jacks :
[IN A JACK] Dynamics controller mixer input jack A.
[IN B JACK] Dynamics controller mixer input jack B.
[DYN JACK] Dynamics cv input. Attenuated using the [DYN CV ATTENUATOR].
[RESP JACK] Response CV input. Attenuated using the [RESP CV ATTENUATOR].
[BOTH DYN] Dynamics cv input to dynamics controllers 1 and 2. Attenuated using each [DYN CV ATTENUATOR].
Dynamics Controller Output Jacks :
[OUT JACK] Dynamics controller output jack.
[MIX OUT JACK] Mixed output of dynamics controllers 1 and 2.
Dynamics VCA Mode
In VCA Mode the Dynamics controllers act as transparent voltage con-
trolled amplifiers, only controlling the level of the input signal. In VCA mode,
the [RESPONSE KNOB] has little effect on the incoming signal and the [LOW
PASS GATE RESONANCE KNOB] has no effect on the incoming signal.
Dynamics Low Pass Gate Mode
The response of the low pass gate mode sits somewhere between a VCA
and a filter and works well as a stand alone filter. The traditional description
of a low pass gate is that it combines a VCA and filter together to allow the
circuit to manage both amplitude and harmonic content. Turning down
the [DYNAMICS KNOB] will lower the amplitude AND remove harmonics
from the input signal. In Low Pass Gate mode, the [RESPONSE KNOB] will
control gate response times, adding a decay to incoming signals. [LOW
PASS GATE RESONANCE KNOB] will introduce a soft resonance response
tuned to add weight to sounds without becoming overwhelming.
Dynamics Pluck Mode
Pluck response mode also functions as Low Pass gate; the dynamics
controller is controlling amplitude AND harmonics, but the response to
control signals into the [DYNAMICS CV JACK] is different to the standard
low pass gate mode, and well suited to percussive sounds. In the pluck
response mode, a sharp gate or envelope signal to the [DYNAMICS CV
JACK] will create a percussive effect. Turn the [DYN CV KNOB] full left to
