Drive 

The ​drive​ knob adjusts the amount of amplification on the input signal. 
Paragraphs is designed to work with instrument to line-level signals. 
The 3-color LED can be used to make sure you are operating in the 
desired range. Red indicates clipping. Orange flashes indicate the 
start of overload. Green indicates the presence of signal at or below 
the nominal level. 
 

CV (Control Voltage) 

The ​CV​ connection is a voltage trigger that can be used to activate 
the ​TRIG​ switch when the Paragraphs is in ​hold​ or ​once​ mode. A voltage 
pulse at or above 5 Volts will cause a ​TRIG​ start, if the Paragraphs is 
in ​hold​, the ​TRIG ​will remain as long as the voltage pulse is present.
