Control Elements

quadroPOL offers four identical channels, each with two inputs, one control and one output.

INPUT

A signal applied to this input can be modified by 

LEVEL

 

w

 and a control voltage, being applied to 

CV 

IN

 

r

.

LEVEL

LEVEL

 

w

 adjusts the level for the signal applied to 

INPUT

 

q

. It works bipolar, meaning, that in its center 

position, the applied input signal is suppressed and 
the channel is closed. Turning this control to the right 
will increase the level. The level also increases when 
turning this control to the left, but in this case with 
reversed polarity. This function is called polarizer.

LEVEL

 

w

 has a dead-zone around its center position to 

make it easier finding and hitting zero.

In most cases there will be no audible differences 
between positive and negative amplitudes when using 
complex audio signals. When using sub-audio signals, 
i.e. LFO waveforms, the difference will be audible 
immediately at its modulation destination:
