Different Waveshapes for Rise and Fall
Log Rise With Expo Fall
In this patch we’ll take advantage of the
EOR
jack to create separate waveshapes during the rise and
fall portions of an envelope. It’s common to use logarithmic rises with exponential falls in order to create
snappy envelopes.
On Channel A, patch the
EOR
jack to the
Shape
CV Jack. Turn the
Shape
CV knob fully counter-
clockwise and set the
Shape
slider all the way to the right. Patch
ENV A
to a modulation input on
another module. You also could patch a sound source into
Audio In A
and patch
Audio Out A
to a
mixer.
During the rise phase, the
EOR
jack is low, so there is no
Shape
CV. The shape is set by the slider
position, which is logarithmic. During the fall phase, the
EOR
jack sends a high voltage into the
Shape
CV jack. The
Shape
CV knob inverts this voltage, causing the shape to be exponential.
Any Combination of Shapes
Any combination of waveshapes can be set for rise and fall by first using Channel A’s
Shape
slider to
set the rise shape, and then using Channel A’s
Shape
knob to set the fall shape. For instance, to create
an exponential rise and logarithmic fall, simply reverse the settings by turning the
Shape
CV knob fully
clockwise and moving the slider all the way left.
Channel B can also generate different waveshapes on the rise and fall by patching the
EOF
jack into
Channel B’s
Shape
CV jack. In this case, Channel B’s
Shape
slider sets the fall shape, and Channel
B’s
Shape
knob sets the rise shape.
See the Table of Envelope Shapes on page 22 for an illustration of various waveshapes.
