3. Controls
1 Orig.
This attenuator controls the amount of the original
input signal present in the mix output.
2 F / 2 ... 5 F / 16
These attenuators 2 to 5 control the amount of the
respective sub-octaves present in the mix output.
Say your production needs a stronger bass-line: you
can add a square wave an octave below the original
signal simply by setting attenuators 1 and 2 to maxi-
mum, and attenuators 3 to 5 to 0.
4. In / Outputs
! Audio In
Socket ! is the divider’s input. Connect up the signal
whose frequency you wish to divide.
H The divider is basically set up to divide rectangle
waveforms. If you put another waveform into the
input (for instance a sawtooth) the A-115 will
change it into a square wave before dividing it.
" Audio Out
At output " the total mix of the original signal and four
sub-octaves (depending on the position of attenuators
1
to 5) is available.
5. User examples
A-115 as a "frequency generator"
With the A-115, you can start out with a VCO’s basic
square wave and produce more complex waveforms.
Fig. 1 shows how the A-115 can take a simple square
wave and create a new wave form. Turn attenuators
1
to 4 up to maximum, and set attenuator 5 to 0.

Experiment with different level settings for each at-
tenuator, and also with other waveforms (for instance,
a square wave modulated by a slow LFO).
