5. ADSR style envelopes: use channel 2 in trigger mode and 

channel 3 in gate mode, then send the same gate signal in both 

inputs. Set channel 3 amplitude to a lower level than channel 2. 

Channel 2 settings will define the attack and decay, set channel 3 

symmetry in order to have a longer attack time than channel 2. 

Channel 3 decay defines the release time of the envelope. Do not 

insert anything on channel 2 output, channel 3 output will deliver 

the maximum amplitude of both envelopes providing an ADSR like 

envelope.

6. Ratcheting envelope: set channel 1 in trigger mode and channel 

2 in gated loop mode with a shorter time parameter. Send a trigger 

into the first input, with nothing inserted into the second input and 

listen to the second output. While the first channel is decaying the 

second one will repeat its envelope. Controlling channel 2 amplitude 

with channel 1 envelope leads to interesting results too!

.

7. Triple peak envelope: set channel 1 symmetry fully counterclo-

ckwise and time to 11 o'clock, channel 2 symmetry at noon and 

time at noon, and channel 3 symmetry at 2 o'clock and time at 2 

o'clock. With every channel in trigger mode, send a trigger into the 

first input while using the third output. Result is an original 

modulation source shaped as a multi peak envelope. Setting 

different levels on each channel will also give more dynamic and 

original results.

8. Pseudo random LFOs: Set the two first channels in loop mode 

and insert a patch cable into the channel 2 input to break the 

normalization. Send channel 1 output into channel 2 time CV input 

and channel 2 output into channel 1 time CV input while multing 

the two outputs. Use both outputs as modulation sources. 

Attenuating the signal sent to the time CV inputs will lead to more 

subtle results.
