Skew
The Phase Offset Output is half-normalled to the cv input of the phase
offset and the feedback will change the waveshape, so nulling the attenu-
verter is important for normal operation. Patching a cable into the cv jack
will break the normalization and allow normal operation of the cv input.
For LFO’s, this normailzation is designed to offer a skew control that can
move the peak of the waveform so that it smoothly transforms from a
downward ramp to a triangle to an upward ramp without changing the
frequency:
A reference can also be established using a rhythmic pattern or singular
event at the beginning of each cycle.
Establishing a reference with external cues
Play a drum pattern that triggers a slow moonwalker envelope that
modulates a filter on the drums.
Set Attack so the modulation peaks at beat 2 of bar 2 and decays
until the end of bar 2.
Adjusting the phase offset allows the user to time align the peak
and trough of the envelope to any point in the loop, emphasizing
different elements of the drum loop while de-emphasizing oth-
ers…without changing the rate or overall time of the envelope.
The envelope is varied while maintaining a constant amount of
change. Other methods of variation typically adjust the overall
amplitude resulting in more or less change in the same amount of
time, or the length of an envelope segment resulting in a longer
event.
Since the Not Decay output goes high at the end of a Moonwalker
envelope / cycle, it can be used to trigger an event and establish a
reference in this manner.
Set the Phase Offset to 180º, Phase Offset Output to unipolar mode,
and tune the attack and decay times to be equal
