VCO B Timbre Controls and MOD Bus

1A. SHAPE Panel Control: unipolar control that determines the shape of the waveform feeding the

           FOLDing circuit. Morphs from Sine to Spike to Glitched Triangle.

2A. SHAPE CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for SHAPE CV IN.

3A. SHAPE CV IN: unipolar control signal input. Normalled into the MOD BUS. Range 0V to +5V.

1B. ANGLE Panel Control: tilts the added harmonics to either end of the wave-cycle. 2B. ANGLE CV     

           Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for ANGLE CV IN.

2B: Angle CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for ANGLE CV IN. 

3B. ANGLE CV IN: bi-polar control signal input. Normalled into the MOD BUS. 

 

Range 8V.

1C. FOLD Panel Control: unipolar control that continuously varies the low-order   harmonics of the  

           signal by folding the waveform into itself.

2C. FOLD CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for FOLD CV IN.

3C. FOLD CV IN: unipolar control signal input. Normalled into the MOD BUS. Range 0V to +8V. 

4C. STRIKE IN: briefly opens the FOLD circuit to 100%, 8 to 10V Gate or clock.

1D. MOD BUS INDEX Panel Control: unipolar panel control that sets the index (depth) of the MOD Bus. 

2D. MOD BUS INDEX CV Attenuator: bipolar attenuator for MOD BUS INDEX CV IN

3D. EXTernal SouRCe IN: interrupts internal routing of VCO A SINE as modulation source.  +/-8V range.

4D. MOD BUS INDEX CV IN: bipolar control signal input. Range +/- 4V

5D. MOD BUS INDEX LED: indicates the currently programmed MOD Index Value.
