Percall

Befaco

A percussive quad decay envelope and VCA module with four channels, choke control, a strength input affecting all envelopes, and a normalised submix output.933

Capabilities 4

Decay Envelopedecay-envelope
Each channel has its own decay envelope triggered by a TRIG input; decay time is controllable manually or via CV.933
Mixermixer
Channels 1–3 are summed at the channel 4 output, which acts as a master mix out; individual outputs remove their channel from the mix when patched.933
Percussionpercussion
Shapes external audio sources into percussive hits via gated decay envelopes; includes choke control for hi-hat style muting.933
Voltage-Controlled Amplifiervca
Four independent VCA circuits, one per channel, internally controlled by a dedicated decay envelope.933

Jacks 21 (13 in / 8 out)

NameSignalVoltageDescription
Inputs (13)
CH1 Decay CVcvCV input for controlling the decay time of channel 1's envelope; summed with the manual decay knob.933
CH1 INaudioAudio input for channel 1; normalled to CH2 IN when CH2 IN is unpatched.933
CH1 TRIGtriggerTrigger input that fires the decay envelope for channel 1; also drives choke muting of channel 2 when choke is enabled.933
CH2 Decay CVcvCV input for controlling the decay time of channel 2's envelope; summed with the manual decay knob.933
CH2 INaudioAudio input for channel 2; receives CH1 IN signal when unpatched (normalled from CH1 IN).933
CH2 TRIGtriggerTrigger input that fires the decay envelope for channel 2.933
CH3 Decay CVcvCV input for controlling the decay time of channel 3's envelope; summed with the manual decay knob.933
CH3 INaudioAudio input for channel 3; normalled to CH4 IN when CH4 IN is unpatched.933
CH3 TRIGtriggerTrigger input that fires the decay envelope for channel 3; also drives choke muting of channel 4 when choke is enabled.933
CH4 Decay CVcvCV input for controlling the decay time of channel 4's envelope; summed with the manual decay knob.933
CH4 INaudioAudio input for channel 4; receives CH3 IN signal when unpatched (normalled from CH3 IN).933
CH4 TRIGtriggerTrigger input that fires the decay envelope for channel 4.933
Strength INcv≤10VMacro CV input affecting all four envelopes simultaneously; controls both amplitude and decay time. Normalled to 10V so all envelopes run at maximum strength when unpatched.933
Outputs (8)
CH1 ENV OUTcv0V to 10V933
CH1 OUTaudioAudio output for channel 1; when patched, this channel is removed from the master mix at CH4 OUT.933
CH2 ENV OUTcv0V to 10V933
CH2 OUTaudioAudio output for channel 2; when patched, this channel is removed from the master mix at CH4 OUT.933
CH3 ENV OUTcv0V to 10V933
CH3 OUTaudioAudio output for channel 3; when patched, this channel is removed from the master mix at CH4 OUT.933
CH4 ENV OUTcv0V to 10V933
CH4 OUTaudioAudio output for channel 4; also serves as the master mix output summing channels 1–3 (when those channels are unpatched at their own outputs).933

Parameters 6

NameTypeRangeBehavior
CH1 Decaymenu_settingControls the tail length of the decay envelope; combined with the CV decay input (both are summed together).933
CH1-2 ChokeswitchWhen set to the up (active) position, a trigger on channel 1 mutes channel 2's envelope, enabling open/closed hi-hat style behavior.933
CH2 Decaymenu_settingControls the tail length of the decay envelope; combined with the CV decay input (both are summed together).933
CH3 Decaymenu_settingControls the tail length of the decay envelope; combined with the CV decay input (both are summed together).933
CH3-4 ChokeswitchWhen set to the up (active) position, a trigger on channel 3 mutes channel 4's envelope, enabling open/closed hi-hat style behavior.933
CH4 Decaymenu_settingControls the tail length of the decay envelope; combined with the CV decay input (both are summed together).933
