CV 1

Socket CV 1 is the filter’s standard 

voltage control

input

, and works on the 1V / octave rule, like the

VCOs.

If you patch a modulation source (eg LFO, ADSR) to
this input,  the cut-off frequency of the filter will be

modulated by its voltage: ie., the sound color changes
according to the voltage put out by the modulator.

If you use the VCF as a sine wave oscillator, connect
the pitch CV into this socket.  Do the same if you want
the filter’s cut-off frequency to track exactly with the
pitch of a note.

  CV 3

Sockets CV 2 and CV 3 are also 

voltage control

inputs for the filter.  

Unlike CV 1, you can control the

level of voltage - the intensity of modulation effect on
the filter - with  attenuators

 and 

3
