Amplitude Modulation

Level: 

The 

Level

 knob determines the amplitude of the stereo  

and 

Sigma (   )

 outputs.

• 

Turning the knob anticlockwise will decrease the output amplitude.

• 

Turning the knob clockwise will increase the output amplitude.

• 

To eliminate any chance of hard clipping that may occur when 
parallel sawtooth waves sum with perfect phase alignment, a soft 
clipping circuit is implemented and limits the amplitude range to 
~10Vpp. This essentially turns the built-in VCA into a voltage-
controlled saturator that can accentuate a nonlinearity of the 
sawtooth waveforms.

Level CV:

 The 

Level CV

 input is a bipolar control voltage input for the 

Level

 parameter.

• 

Control voltage is summed with the 

Level 

knob position.

Level CV Attenuator: 

The 

Level CV Attenuator

 determines the depth of 

modulation applied to the 

Level

 parameter.

• 

Turning the knob anticlockwise will decrease the depth of  
amplitude modulation if an external signal is present at the  

Level CV

 input.

• 

Turning the knob clockwise will increase the depth of  
amplitude modulation if an external signal is present at the  

Level CV 

input.
