Envelope/Gate/Oneshot behaviour types
The following table is a list of the behaviours available in
Ammo 100LA
depending on how you use the device, either stan-
dalone with no external input, via a keyboard or the sequencer (MIDI Trig.), or in conjunction with the
Charlotte
VEGN or
alternatively Thor’s gate/cv output and global envelope using the three
Ammo 100LA
Sequencer inputs Env, Gate and CV.
Remember that
1-Shot
mode is only available in Low or Tempo sync ranges. “Env In” assumes
Env CV In
control is greater
than zero (thus active until it reaches zero), while “MIDI Trig.” assumes
KBD/Porta
is On, otherwise Rate is not keyboard scaled.

You can see that the “Env In” is basically an alternative “Gate In”; technically you don’t need to use “Gate In” on
Ammo
100LA
if using
Charlotte
, but we provide the option for compatibility purposes, and it doesn’t break anything to connect
both. Using the Env In instead of the Gate In allows the Release stages of your envelope to function correctly to fade out the
waveform level after you release the gate. With
1-Shot
turned off, note that the oscillator is free-running and will retrigger
from its current internal wave playback position.
