Set the preamp gain. At far

clockwise settings the input

amplifier will start to clip the

audio signal and therefore

overdrive effect occurs

Set the threshold of the Gate extractor

circuit. It is a voltage above which the

audio signal will trigger the gate – see

the diagram below! Please note, that,

depending on the threshold setting, a same

waveform can output various gates

Select the attack time of the

envelope. Options are Fast, Slow and

Medium. Select the Slow option, if

you are controlling the VCF cutoff

frequency to design an acid bassline

in beat with a kick drum.

This is the audio input. Depending on the

gain setting, you can use various input

signals – modular, guitar, dynamic

microphone, various sensors, etc.

This is the envelope output. The

envelope is boosted to +10V level, so

you can use it to open VCAs without need

to amplify it. The green LED indicates the

envelope status

This is the gate output. The red LED

indicates that the gate is on. By

adjusting the threshold potentiometer,

you can achieve distinct, rhythmic gates

to control other modules in your rack
