5. User Examples

Different settings of the 5 parameters enable a lot of
very complex and extreme waveform
modifications
. The range of modifications varies from
simple soft or hard clipping to completely altered
waveforms where the original signal is no longer
recognizable. The sketch below shows a few examples
when a triangle signal is used as input.

An oscilloscope would be a good tool to see and
understand the waveform modifications resulting from
different parameter settings.

Typical applications of module A-136 are:

• Audio distortion (especially interesting in

combination with filters), whereby the features of
the A-136 far exceed those of conventional
distortion or fuzz boxes

• Waveform modifications for control signals (e.g.

new control waveforms derived from LFO, ADSR,
Random and so on)
