Function

Make Noise

Single-channel analog function generator in the MATHS family. Generates triggered or continuous voltage functions with VC rise and fall times, variable response curve, cycle mode for LFO use, plus End-of-Rise and End-of-Cycle gate outputs and a Hang input.687

Capabilities 5

Envelope Generatorenvelope-generator
Single-channel VC envelope with independent rise and fall times, variable response curve, and re-triggering capability.687
Function Generatorfunction-generator
Single-channel analog function generator from the MATHS family - voltage-controlled rise/fall, triggered or cycling.687
LFOlfo
Cycle button enables self-cycling for LFO, clock, or VCO use; rate set by Rise, Fall, and BOTH CV input.687
Sample and Holdsample-and-hold
Hang input freezes the output voltage when gate is high, enabling S&H and track-and-hold patching.687
Slew Limiter / Portamentoslew-limiter
Signal input is direct-coupled; Rise and Fall times determine slew rate for lag, portamento, and envelope following.687

NameSignalVoltageDescription
Inputs (6)
Both CV InputcvBi-polar exponential CV input controlling the entire function (both rise and fall). Positive signals decrease total cycle time; negative signals increase it.687
Fall CV InputcvLinear CV input for the Fall parameter. Positive voltages increase fall time; negative voltages decrease it relative to the Fall panel control setting.687
Hang InputgateGate high at this input freezes the function at its current voltage. Used for S&H, track-and-hold, stepped LFOs, and synchronized functions.687
Rise CV InputcvLinear CV input for the Rise parameter. Positive voltages increase rise time; negative voltages decrease it relative to the Rise panel control setting.687
Signal InputmixedDirect coupled input to the circuit. Accepts audio or CV signals for use as lag/slew processor, portamento, S&H, T&H, or ASR envelope source.687
Trigger InputgateGate or pulse input that triggers the circuit independently of the Signal Input, producing a 0V–8V envelope function shaped by Rise, Fall, and Vari-Response.687
Outputs (4)
EOC Outputgate0V to 10VGoes high (10V) at the end of the Cycle (falling) portion of the function. Useful as a clock or for chaining functions.687
EOR Outputgate0V to 10VGoes high (10V) at the end of the Rise portion of the function. Useful as a clock, pulse delay output, or for chaining multiple functions.687
Inverted Signal Outputcv0V to 8VBuffered inverted output of the function circuit. 0–8V when cycling; otherwise mirrors the input amplitude inverted. Capable of driving a passive 4-way mult.687
Non-Inverted Signal Outputcv0V to 8VBuffered non-inverted output of the function circuit. 0–8V when cycling; otherwise follows the amplitude of the signal input. Capable of driving a passive 4-way mult.687

Parameters 4

NameTypeRangeBehavior
Cycle ButtonbuttonWhen engaged, causes the circuit to self-cycle continuously, generating a repeating voltage function (LFO, clock, or VCO). The Cycle LED illuminates when active.687
FallknobSets the time for the voltage function to ramp down. CW rotation increases fall time. Affected by the Fall CV Input and the Vari-Response curve setting.687
RiseknobSets the time for the voltage function to ramp up. CW rotation increases rise time. Affected by the Rise CV Input and the Vari-Response curve setting.687
Vari-ResponseknobContinuously adjusts the shape of the voltage function from Logarithmic through Linear to Exponential to Hyper-Exponential. The tick mark on the panel indicates the Linear (center) setting.687
