SERGE Slopes (DTG) 
2“ DSG 

mk2

Slopes is a 2” wide version of the Dual 
Universal Slope Generator mk2 that is 
designed to cover both oscillator / audio as 
well as clock generator and envelope duties. 

All Random*Source Serge modules are 
brought to you under license and in coop-
eration with Serge Tcherepnin. 

The power of the DSG mk2 

This 2” version of the Dual Universal Slopes 
Generator features a cycle switch and an 
1V/Octave input for the left side for easy 
use as an oscillator (that tracks over a bass 
range of up to 4 octaves or more). Best 
tracking is achieved with the Rise set to 
max and Fall controlling the pitch. The right 
side is essentially identical except for those 
extras.

Outputs are the normal (unipolar / DC) 
output (white) and a gate output underneath 
the pulse width of which depends on the 
ratio of the rise and fall of the normal output.

Patch the red (GATE) out into TRIG IN on either side for cycle mode - of course the left side can also 
achieve this with the switch. Both rise and fall can be manually set to create anything from a sawtooth 
wave to triangle to a reverse sawtooth (or anything in between). By using the lower switch, a control 
voltage can be set to affect RISE, FALL or BOTH slopes. Both sides feature (black) audio INs for filter-
ing effects etc.

The 4U pcb kit consists of a panel pcb serving as an interface to the front panel as well as a main pcb 
which 

already contains most of the parts in surface-mount technology (SMT).
