Preamp Section
Preamp/Gain Control
The Preamp section controls the gain of the audio signal(s) from the track in which the TimewARP 2600 is running.
A rotary knob labeled Gain adjusts the signal level. If the TimewARP 2600 is running in full stereo configuration–as
a plug-in to a stereo track–the preamp will display two output jacks, one for each stereo channel.
Envelope Follower
The primary use of the Envelope Follower is with external instruments. Essentially, it extracts a control signal representing
the amplitude-envelope of any audio input; this signal may control the VCF, VCA, or any of the VCOs.
This means any
analog input signal, such as from a guitar, can be used to drive the synthesizer. The Envelope Follower output is an
envelope and can be used in the same fashion as the output from either of the envelope generators.
VCO Fine-Tuning
For convenience in fine-tuning control depth, the three attenuator-governed FM control inputs at each oscillator provide three different sensitivity
ranges. The leftmost slider is full-range; wide open, it passes its signal unchanged. The second slider is 50%; wide open, it passes its signal at half
strength. The third slider, wide open, passes its signal at 25% of its original amplitude.
