Metabolic Devices Moonwalker Скачать руководство пользователя страница 5

Just as in envelope mode, a trigger in the 

Trigger input

 with 

Retrigger 

enabled will reset Moonwalker to the beginning amplitude. This allows 
Moonwalker to be synchronized with an external clock regardless of the 
frequency it’s running at. A slower clock that syncs Moonwalker every 
bar or two can be a cool way to give some form to an LFO that is at a 
different tempo than the clock. Synchronizing it every bar or two creates 
a recognizable pattern out of what would otherwise be an unrelated free 
running LFO.

Without Retrigger enabled, the 

Trigger Input

 now pays attention to how 

long the input is held high. A gate in the trigger input will 

Inhibit

 the LFO 

as long as the pulse is high. Inhibit drives the waveform in a direction 
and at a rate determined by the attack / decay rates.

walker is inactive, so it goes high after decay is finished and stays high 
during steady state and until attack is finished. It is at 0v during decay. It 
can be used as a logic source to enable effects or routing during only a 
portion of the event. It can also be used to chain multiple Moonwalkers 
to create very complex envelopes.

Moonwalker as an LFO:

Tap the 

Cycle 

button to use Moonwalker as a low frequency oscillator.

Use the 

Attack 

knob to set how long it takes to go from 0v to 10v. A pos-

itive voltage at the Attack cv input will increase the attack time, while a 
negative voltage will decrease it. The amount of modulation can be 
attenuated or attenuated & inverted using the cv attenuverter. 

Use the 

Decay 

knob to set how long it takes to go from 10v to 0v. A posi-

tive voltage at the Decay cv input will increase the decay time, while a 
negative voltage will decrease it. The amount of modulation can be 
attenuated or attenuated & inverted using the cv attenuverter.

The 

Volt Per Octave input

 can be used to modulate both attack and 

decay at the same time and change the overall frequency. The response 
here is inverted to that of the attack and decay inputs, meaning that a 
positive voltage will increase the frequency while a negative voltage will 
decrease it.
