Manual Controls: ATTEN1 and ATTEN2. Input
Output: There two inputs and two outputs
for each attenuator. Tech Specs: consider
that, with regard to impedances, the
attenuator is passive and parallel
configuration of input and output signals (i.e.
more than one signal at the input) will modify
the relative impedances as well. This is not
dangerous at all but can lead to different
results than the one you imagined!

CVGEN (CONTROLLERS): CV generators:
There are two active CV generators on the NS1nanosynth. Those voltage sources,
controlled by their relevant knobs (CTRL1 and CTRL2) simply generates at the output a
voltage from 0 to 5V. It could be used for any purpose including connected to the Arduino
analog pins to dial parameters and configurations into an alternative firmware.
Manual Controls: the two knobs CTRL1 and
CTRL2. Input/Output: The module have two
outputs C1 and C2. Tech Specs: The
CVGEN/CONTROLLERS module has buffered
outputs. This means that you can hook up the
output C1 to different inputs (using a mult)
without degradating its qualitites. General
concept: a buffered output will not suffer
from a wide range of input impedances adn
could also drive small loads like LEDs, headphones etc...

RIBBON CONTROLLER :
One of the most immediate and intriguing features of the NS1nanosynth is its Ribbon
Controller, a 100mm resistive linear potentiometer that, through a specialized circuitry
becomes a fun to use playing interface. The patch section of the Ribbon Controller (top
right, near the robot!) generates a couple of identical GATE signals when you press on the
ribbon and presents two different CV outputs (that shares the range, from 0 to 5V going
from left to right on the ribbon). The first one, CV, is the exact information about your
finger's position on the ribbon, including the return-­‐to-­‐zero when you lift your finger. The
HLD is holding the voltage with an internal S&H to allow you to use release times on the
ADSR (for example) and other techniques.
Manual Controls: the Ribbon! There is also an
LED that lights up when a GATE is detected
(finger down). Input/Output: GATE, goes high
when the finger is on the ribbon. CV outputs 0
to 5V (from left to right), HLD outputs 0 to 5V
even when the finger is lifted from the ribbon.
