• Envelope CV In
:
—
Charlotte Envelope Generator
is a great companion to
Ammo 100LA
. When it is connected to
Ammo 100LA
’s
Env CV In you can scale the envelope input using this control. Normally this can be left at maximum
• Free
button
:
—Leave enabled for a free-running oscillator when not using one-shot mode. Turn off to retrigger the waveform on a
gate event when you are not using an external envelope. This function is ignored when 1-Shot is enabled.
• 1-S (1-Shot) button
:
—With this button enabled the entire waveform will play once, holding the fi nal level (
see page 11 for more details
)
—The fi nal held level may not be consistent if the oscillator is being externally modulated
—Remember that the Phase setting determines the start and end point of waveform; use a zero degree phase (0°) to
play the waveform as you see it described in the preset waveform display
—This control is only used in
Low
and
Tempo Sync
ranges
• Lag Up/Lag Down knobs
:
—Ammo is the only Reason system that allows separate slew adjustment of the up and down slopes of the waveform.
Lag acts as a fi lter, rounding off sharp waveform edges. Because we have separate controls, you can smooth, for
example, only the up portion of a square or random wave, and leave the falling edge sharp.
Lag Up
, the left knob
smooths the rising edges of a waveform clockwise;
Lag Down
, the right knob, smooths the falling edges of the wave
form
anticlockwise
• Output
:
—This is a x2 scaler, useful if you want a really hot signal. By default it is set to x1 (no scaling)
The order in which the
Ammo
waveforms have been arranged was chosen mostly to group similar types of LFO shapes to-
gether, rather than provide a typical wavetable that might be based on one waveform but with different harmonics. This al-
lows the commonly used basic shapes at the beginning, with DC Line (fast to end and one button back) and random stepped
easily available right at the end for easy location and selection.
Random waveform
The random waveform supports several useful applications, including
noise and S&H-style output, for experimental, avant-garde and special
effect purposes.
Audio Noise
With High Range selected, the random waveform acts as noise and
you can use both
Rate
and
Phase
controls to adjust the sample rate of the noise. The Lag controls act as fi lters which can be
used to adjust the “colour” of the noise.
CV Noise
In Low Range set the
Phase
to 0° for a fast CV noise, .
S&H
Still in Low Range you can increase the
Phase
value up to 360 ° to slow down the time between samples.
