About Edges

Edges provides 4 channels of voltage controlled digital

sounds.
Channels 1 to 3 are square/rectangle oscillators. Chan-

nel 4 is either a NES-style triangle wave or a digital

LFSR noise source. The 4 channels are sent to a built-in

mixer.

Installation

Edges requires a -12V / +12V / +5V power supply (2x8

pin connector). The ribbon cable connector must be

aligned so that the red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V)

is on the same side of the module’s power header as the

“Red stripe” marking on the board.
The power consumption is as follows:

-12V: 25mA; +12V: 25mA; +5V: 45mA.

A.

Channels 1 to 4 gate input (note on/off). These inputs

have 1>2>3>4 normalling - thus a gate signal connected

to the channel 1 gate input will also be applied to chan-

nels 2, 3, 4 unless a jack is connected into their inputs.

B.

Channels 1 to 4 V/Oct frequency CV. These inputs also

have 1>2>3>4 normalling.

C.

Channels 1 to 4 frequency modulation CV. These

inputs are independent.

D.

Frequency control.

E.

Cross-modulators. From top to bottom: channel 1>2

hardsync, channel 1x2 ring-modulation, channel 1x3

ring-modulation.

F.

Channels 1 to 4 individual outputs. Plugging a jack

here removes the channel from the global mix.

G. H.

Mixer input levels, and mixer global output.

I.

Waveform selection switches. The LEDs above the

switches are lit whenever the corresponding channel is

playing.

Changing waveforms

Press the waveform selection switch to cycle through

the different waveforms available on each channel.
For channel 1 to 3, the waveforms are pulses with a duty

cycle of 50%, 66%, 75%, 87%, 95% or a CV-controlled

value (channel 4’s frequency input doubles as a PWM

control). Interesting PWM effects can be obtained by

using hardsync between channels 1 and 2 too.
For channel 4, the waveforms are: sine, triangle, NES

triangle, S&H noise, NES LSFR (Linear feedback shift

register) with long cycle, NES LSFR with short cycle.
