1. Introduction

Module A-171 is a voltage controlled slew limiter,
otherwise known as a portamento controller or inte-
grator
.

Whenever there is an abrupt transition in the voltage
present at the input, the Slew Limiter works as an
integrator
, slowing down the transitions in the output
signal - so that abrupt transitions are sloped. The
speed of the transition is governed by the rate control.

As well as manual setting of this slope, the A-171 also
gives you the possibility of voltage control of the
slope’s gradient
by patching in an appropriate vol-
tage to two CV inputs, one of which has an attenuator
for level adjustment.

Two LEDs serve as status indicators to show the
relative amounts of positive and negative signals at the
output.
