Frequency Modulation

Linear FM Input:

 The 

Linear FM Inputs

 are bipolar control voltage 

inputs for the frequency parameter of the corresponding oscillator. 

• 

A signal present at the 

Linear FM Input

 will affect the corresponding 

oscillator’s frequency.

• 

Control voltage is summed with the values set by the 

Coarse

 and 

Fine

 knobs and scaled by the

 Linear FM Attenuator

.

• 

Audio rate signals will add non-harmonic side bands to the  
original waveform.

Linear FM Attenuator: 

The

 Linear FM Attenuator 

determines the depth 

of frequency modulation applied to the corresponding oscillator.

• 

Turning the knob clockwise will increase the depth of  
frequency modulation. 

• 

Turning the knob anticlockwise will decrease the depth of  
frequency modulation.

Oscillator Synchronisation

Sync Input: 

The 

Sync Inputs

 are hard synchronisation inputs.

• 

The corresponding oscillator’s cycle will reset with rising  
edge signals.

• 

Hard edged signals such as sawtooth/ramp and square waveforms 
work best for the 

Sync Input

.

• 

Voltage threshold: 2.5V.
