Color code
On boot, the EV’s LEDs will shine with this color pattern to
indicate that it is running the current EV firmware:
Input and output
voltages
All CV inputs expect 0-5 V. All pots act as offsets and sum
with the input CV. The FSU gate input responds to signals
above +2 V. The audio inputs clip around 16 V peak to
peak.
A note about EV’s
parameters
EV’s parameters are very similar to the original Desmodus.
In fact, the only parameters that perform a different function
are Tap (formerly FSU) and L/C/R (formerly BND/LRP/
JMP). Additionally, in clocked mode, Size acts as a clock
multiplier/divider.
Interface
Blend
: Dry/wet balance control. When turned fully left, the unmodified input signal is
passed through. Fully right, only the processed signal is heard. Points in the middle give
you a mix of both.
Tone
: A filter in the feedback loop. This is a bipolar control: turning the knob to the left
controls a lowpass filter, and to the right controls a highpass filter. In the center, the filter
is disabled.
Regen
: Amount of feedback. Regen controls a wide range of tones and behaviors.
All the way to the left, feedback is minimized. As you turn up to about 12:00, EV
generates shorter, tamer tails and delays. Past this point, the atmosphere reaches
100% feedback, creating infinite and evolving tails. Past 3:00, the tails are ducked by
new sounds at the input, creating sidechain-type effects.
Speed
: The speed of the internal LFO.
