Z-PLANE Instruction Manual
V1.0
CV inputs and controls
ZPlane has a total of 7 CV inputs, with corresponding trim knobs (to scale CV input signals). The CV
input sockets are unipolar by design but can allow bi-polar signal. Each of the 7 CV sockets connect
to the 7 knob controls on the front of ZPlane, giving more creative use of the equalizer where the
user sees best fit.
Each CV input has a corresponding label to the parameter the CV may control.
To use the CV inputs, simply connect a CV output from another device. Default settings for CV trim
knobs are at maximum, so be aware of possible loud signals if using CV inputs whist in 18 or 24dB
modes.
In relation to the way CV works, polarities and inversions please see the illustration below
From the example above, we can see the effect of changing the polarity and bi-polar / uni-polar
modes has on CV input signals.
NOTE. CV signal patching will remain only within Mixer / Audio Channel effect chains, or within a
Combinator, and of course your template rack setups.
