The
Reverse / Alternate Attack & Decay
button provides a handy
way to audition how an envelope would sound with the attack and decay
times swapped. When the led is on, the Attack controls are now assigned
to Decay, and the Decay controls are now assigned to Attack. When
alternating, Moonwalker will generate the envelope with Attack & Decay
rates as normal, and then swap them when the next trigger is received.
They are returned to normal on the next trigger, and the pattern contin-
ues to alternate between normal and swapped as long as this mode is
enabled. A short button press enables reverse, and a long press enables
the alternating mode. Button presses take effect on the next trigger so
as not to interrupt playback.
The
Not Decay
output goes to
+
5v when Moonwalker is not in the decay
segment of the Reference Output. This includes the time when Moon-
Use the
Decay
knob to set how long it takes to go from 10v to 0v. A posi-
tive voltage at the Decay cv input will increase the decay time, while a
negative voltage will decrease it. The amount of modulation can be atten-
uated or attenuated & inverted using the cv attenuverter.
Plug a trigger source into the
Trigger Input
on Moonwalker, or if you
don’t have a trigger source ready you can use the Manual button on
Moonwalker to trigger it. Once it has been triggered, Moonwalker will
ignore additional triggers until it completes it’s cycle. This can be very
handy for deriving slow moving events from a master clock and works like
a clock divider based on absolute time rather than number of clock
pulses.
If the
Retrigger
button is enabled Moonwalker will react to all incoming
triggers, resetting the envelope to the starting amplitude each time a trig-
ger is received. Enable this when you want Moonwalker to be more active,
and to cut off longer notes when a new note happens before the old one
is finished.
The
Volt Per Octave
input can be used to modulate both attack and
decay at the same time and change the overall frequency. A typical patch
would take the v/oct that drives the vco here, so that higher pitches have
shorter envelopes while lower notes are longer.
