In the case of CV-A and CV-B, this adjustment is added after the voltage

table lookup (i.e. after converting the voltage index to an actual voltage).

To access the slope parameters for a particular modulation channel (i.e.

a row of the matrix K

g

):

1. Toggle the GROUP MODIFIER HIGH/SLOPE/LOW switch to SLOPE.

2. Toggle the GROUP MODIFIER XYZ switch to the desired channel.

3. Press the GROUP MODIFIER focus button.

[diagram: show SLOPE screen]

Now the GROUP display LED and the GROUP MODIFIER display LED

will be lit. This means that the LEFT knob on the ER-101 will alter the

focused group and the RIGHT knob will alter the slope value associated with

the focused step parameter (i.e. CV-A, CV-B, DURATION and GATE).

When altering the slope, please notice that the size of the encoder incre-

ments depends on the slope's magnitude:

This logarithmic scheme allows for ne control when dialing in small

gains while also making very large gains easy to reach.

3.3.2 The High vs Low Transforms
The GATE inputs on the 3 modulation channels (X, Y, and Z) control which

of each group's (non-destructive) transforms are active. Each group has 6 of

these transforms because there are high and low transforms for each of the

3 channels which is 6 transforms per group. A high voltage (>1.5V) on the

X channel GATE input will activate all of the X-high transforms, while a

low voltage (<1.5V) will activate all of the X-low transforms and so on. If

there is no plug in the GATE input jack then the low transforms are active

by default.

The usual interface for transforms is used to edit a group's high/low

transforms. See the section on Math Transforms.

These high/low transforms have many uses:
