VILFO Control Descriptions

 

Rate:

Frequency Knob: Controls the rate of the VILFO
S/F Switch:  Controls the range of the Frequency Knob
 

Influence Controls:

The two controls for the Influence circuit are the ICV (Influence Control Voltage) 
Input and the ICV Knob:  The ICV Input is wired directly to this attenuator.  Turn 
the knob left to reduce the amount of ICV to 0 and right to increase the amount of 
ICV fed to the VILFO.  A VCA can be used before the ICV Input to automate the 
amount of CV sent to the Influence circuit.
 
 

Variable Waveform Controls:

The two controls for the Variable Waveform are the VCV (Variable Control 
Voltage) Input and the VCV Knob.  The shape of the Variable Output can be 
modified using the VCV Input and the VCV Knob.  

Turned all the way left, the VCV Knob sets the Variable Output to a triangle wave.  
As the knob is turned clockwise, the Variable Output shifts towards a square.
 
The VCV Knob also acts as an attenuator for the VCV Input.  Turning the knob to 
the right will increase the amount of control the VCV Input has over shifting the 
waveform. 

Not to make things too confusing, but the VCV Input can also be used as an 
output.  The output is a Triangle wave heavy mix of the Variable Output.
