Ammo 100LA
is the cut-down, oscillator-only edition of the
Ammo
Rack Extension series. Eschewing the complex internal
routing matrix and internal envelope, the 100LA is an effi cient, rack-space saving device providing 128 preset waveforms,
with the same a huge rate of fi re, from 0.001 Hz to 8.4 kHz at both audio and CV rate.
Ammo
’s high quality oscillator has
built-in oversampling providing non-aliased audio up to a massive 18 kHz of harmonic content, even using a 44.1 kHz sam-
ple rate.
The device functions as a monophonic synthesizer as well as an LFO device. External modulations for oscillator rate and
depth can be at standard Reason cv rate (1/64th of audio rate), or audio rate for true FM (frequency modulation) and AM
(amplitude modulation).
While the number of preset waveforms is slightly reduced from 136 in the 1200BR/400R to 128 in the 100LA, we’ve simply
removed a few of the pre-inverted copies; these are still available by simply inverting the output with the Depth control. Us-
ing 128 waves allows 1-to-1 mapping in the Combinator TS8450 programmer.
For extra convenience and space-saving, the primary controls are available in this

U “Light Artillery” mode for a genuinely
little LFO.
It might be smaller and leaner, but pound-for-pound it can still unleash more shock and awe in your Reason rack than
competing devices twice its size.
Oscillator controls
The following functions are available in both Full and Light Artillery mode:
• Oscillator
Off/On
:
—Turn the oscillator off or on as required. To prevent clicks during patch browsing, by default the Oscillator is Off
• Waveform
selector
:
—Use either the up/down buttons to step through the waveforms, or drag up/down on the display to rapidly move
through
them
—Waveforms W001–005 are basic analogue waves, sine, triangle, saw up and down, and square
—Waveform W128 is square random (noise); “soft” random can be made by adding
Up/Lag Down
—Waveform W127 is a DC line. Use this to output a single fi xed CV value.
• Rate
knob
:
—Adjust the oscillator frequency within selected Range,
Low
,
High
,
Tempo Synced
,
Semitone
, and
Cents
—You can switch between ranges as required and the
Rate
knob remembers the setting each
Range
• Rate
display
:
—This window shows the current rate of the oscillator according to the
Range
and
Rate
settings
—The display is Read Only. Please use the Rate knob to adjust the value
