The input amplifier’s gain can be set with attenuator
1
. Since the gain amount is variable from 0 up to a
factor of 2, you can attenuate as well as amplify input
signals.
2 Clipping Level
With control 2, you set the clipping threshold level
in a range from -10 V to +10 V. Any part of a
waveform which was above this threshold is clipped -
that is, held at the threshold level (see Fig.1).
3 CCV
If you want to use a CV at input " to control or
modulate the clipping threshold, set the clipping con-
trol voltage level with Attenuator 3.
4 SCV
Symmetry can likewise be controlled or modulated by
voltage control. Use attenuator 4 to control the
level of the symmetry control voltage at input §.
5 Sym.
Symmetry, that is the gain factor of the internal
symmetry VCAs, is altered by control 5. The Sym-
metry VCA is a special amplifier which operates in the
amplification range from -1 to +1, so can amplify
negative as well as positive voltages (see Fig. 2).
