H When an external control voltage is patched
to the normalled socket " (or § respectively)
control +L (or -L respectively) has no
function. In this case the clipping level is
determined only by the external control
voltage. This feature enables the dynamic
change of clipping levels by external control
voltage sources.
4 + A • 5 - A
With controls 4 and 5 respectively, the amplification
factors of the positive (+A) and negative (-A) parts of
the signal past the corresponding clipping level
thresholds are adjusted. The assignment of control
positions to amplification factors is the same as for the
original amplification control A (refer to tab. 1).
4. In / Outputs
! Input
Socket ! is the signal input of the A-136.
" Ext. Level • § Ext. Level
If you want to control one or both of the clipping levels
from external control voltage sources (e.g. LFO,
ADSR, Random, Theremin, Sequencer, MIDI, and so
on) the normalled sockets " and § are used.
The clipping control +L (or -L respectively) sets the
clipping level unless an external control voltage is
patched into the Ext.Level "
" " " socket (or §
respectively). Please note that the positive (+A) section
of the A-136 takes effect only if the incoming signal
voltage is temporarily higher than the positive clipping
voltage. For the negative section the same applies: the
negative (-A) section of the A-136 takes effect only if
the incoming signal voltage is temporarily less than the
negative clipping voltage. If unsuitable external control
voltages are applied the A-136 may not work properly.
