CV TYPE = CV Value
If
CV TYPE = ‘CV Value’
(as set by pressing the
ALT
+
TYPE
(Stage 8) buttons and selecting
‘CV Value’ from the CV TYPE screen), then the CV LANE screen (accessed by pressing the
EDIT
+
CV
buttons) will display the stage voltages and the ramps that connect them:
●
VOLTAGE
: Turn the encoder to set a stage’s CV value to a voltage between ±5V.
●
RAMP TYPE
: Push the encoder to toggle between three different ways that the previous stage’s
VOLTAGE
can transition into this stage’s
VOLTAGE
. Specifically:
‘Step’ :
VOLTAGE
changes instantly — jumping from the previous stage’s value into this
stage’s value at the beginning of the stage.
‘sRamp’ :
VOLTAGE
glides smoothly from the previous stage’s value into this stage’s over
the length of the entire stage — reaching the full voltage at the end of the stage.
With ‘sRamp,’ the ramp time changes with the number of pulses in a stage. For
example, if a stage has 4 pulses, then the voltage will take a full 4 pulses to
reach the assigned Voltage.
‘pRamp’ :
VOLTAGE
glides smoothly from the previous stage’s value to this stage’s value
over the length of a single pulse. It doesn’t matter how many pulses a Stage has
— the ramp time always occupies one pulse length.
For example, if a stage has 4 pulses, the voltage will take one full pulse to reach
the assigned Voltage, and it will remain at that voltage for the next 3 pulses.
Note that, if a Stage is only one pulse in length, then ‘pRmp’ and ‘sRmp’ have the
same effect.
NOTE: To assign all 8 stages to the same ramp setting, hold down the EDIT button while
pressing the encoder — this assigns all 8 stages at once, rather than just the current stage.
