General Usage
‘Boss Bow Tie’ is an 8 way bidirectional voltage controlled switch. The switch
connects the left ‘I/O‘ to one of the right “I/O’s allowing a signal to then flow in either
direction. Which of the I/O’s are ‘connected’ is dependent on a control voltage applied
to the control input together with the offset and attenuverter setting.
The offset adds a voltage to the incoming control voltage. This, for example, is
useful for moving a negative going LFO ‘up’ to cover the full switch range. The
attenuverter both scales the incoming voltage and inverts (turning CCW).
The Gate input disables the switch. When patched, a low signal disables the switch
whilst a high enables. It is normalized so the switch is always enabled when not
patched.
