cv
asignment
sustain
sets the point on the envelope to be
held whenever a gate signal fed into
trig
input
is high. The position is indicated with a vertical
dashed line. Reversing the envelope does not af-
fect the
sustain
point position (it remains in the
same place relative to the starting point).
note:
to disable the sustain stage, simply move the sus-
tain point to the very end of the envelope until
the display reads
off
.
The
level
parameter serves as an attenuator
to the envelope amplitude, from 10V down to
10mV (and 0). The approximate value is dis-
played as a percentage of the entire voltage
range, and the exact value in volts is visible
during adjustment.
MENU: CV ASSIGNMENTS
The central, red–illuminated
menu
button
6
cycles through three menu pages: CV input as-
signments, chain/loop settings, and preset man-
agement.
note:
with the Nin expander module
installed, a secondary CV assignments page
appears that addresses the extra set of
asgn
inputs on the expander.
note:
encoders behave
differently within the first two menu pages than
in the top, default screen. Within these pages, en-
coders correspond to separate channels, and not
the default parameters indicated on the panel.
While on the CV assignment page (fig. 4), push
the corresponding channel's encoder to set its
CV destination. The list of available parameters
is browsed in a loop:
shp
— selects the envelope shape
tim
— adjusts duration
wrp
— adjusts temporal warp
rsp
— adjusts response
lvl
— adjusts amplitude level
rep
— selects the number of repeats
phs
— adjusts phase shift
rev
— reverses the shape
sus
— sets the position of the sustain point
frz
— freezes the envelope state
The degree of CV control of the selected param-
eter can be set by turning the encoder and is
indicated by bipolar percentage bars with 0V
in the middle. The interpretation of the display
is straightforward — the higher the bar is dis-
played, the stronger the influence of the CV to
the parameter value.
note:
sensitivity of -50
for the
time
parameter offers an approximate
1V/octave response. Also, the
rev
and
frz
pa-
rameters react to CV in a binary manner. Like a
comparator, the respective action is performed
when the input CV exceeds the value as indi-
cated by the bar. With
rev
, the envelope is re-
versed in relation to the current panel setting,
and with
frz
, its state is frozen, thus pausing
the envelope and holding its current value at
the instant the CV exceeds the threshold.
