Analogue Solutions Nyborg - Manual (Page 7)

Overview - contd
CIRCUITS INCLUDED
OSCILLATORS
There are two VCOs – each providing a wealth of features and modulation choices.
Controls include: TUNE, OCTAVE, MODULATION depth and destination, MOD.
SOURCE (EGs, VCO audio, External CV, LFO), manual pulse WIDTH, VCO Sync
LOW FREQUENCY OSCILLATOR
The LFO has triangle and Square wave modulation signals. The MODE switch can also
be used to route Sample And Hold or CV2 (velocity) signals to the VCF and VCOs.
FILTER
Nyborg uses a 2 pole 12bB per octave multimode filter. What does this mean? It uses
the same filter as the legendary Telemark synth, which is similar (but not the same,
having its own character) to the old Oberheim SEM. The filter is actually four types in
one. Low pass, Band pass, High pass and Notch filters.
Controls include: CUTOFF, RESONANCE, MODULATION depth (- and +), MOS.SOURCE
(EG, LFO, VCO audio, External CV), KEY voltage, CV2 voltage (velocity), NOTCH
high/low, FILTER TYPE (high, low, band, notch).
MIXER
Audio choices are the Saw or Square wave of each VCO, Noise or, for added fatness,
Sub-Oscillator.
AMPLIFIER
The VCA can be controlled from Gate or Envelope. It can be set to BYPASS so it is
always ‘open’. This allows Nyborg to be used as an effects processor. Finally there is
a CYCLE option. This sets the envelope to be constantly re-triggered by the LFO
allowing for hands-off sound effects.
ENVELOPES
There are two EGs – each having control over ATTACK, SUSTAIN, and combined
DECAY/RELEASE.
MODULATION
Great thought has been placed into modulation route choices, allowing a wide range
of sounds to be produced, including percussion and ‘modular’ style sounds.
MIDI
MIDI is intentionally kept simple – so you can concentrate on making new sounds
and making music – not getting tied up with SYSEX programming.
You get the all important control over filter cut-off using MIDI Velocity (or a MIDI
controller).
