  • Page 3: Limited Warranty

    Limited WARRANTY: Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards or reversed eurorack bus board cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.

    Eurorack style bus board, minding the polarity so that the RED stripe on the cable is oriented to the NEGATIVE 12 Volt line on both the module and the bus board. On the Make Noise 6U or 3U Busboard, the negative 12 Volt line is indicated by the white stripe.

    Vari-Response. This parameter allows for shaping the resulting envelope from Linear to Exponential. Since the MiniMoog utilized an exponential VCA, the Loudness Contour circuit creates a Linear envelope control signal, thus allowing the VCA to shape it to the desired exponential response. Within the Modular synthesizer system, we are not certain what you will patch this Contour module...

    Contour function. Response is continuously variable from Linear to Exponential. End of Onset (EON) / End of Contour (EOC) LED: Indicates the states of the EON and EOC outputs. When <Red>, EON is High and EOC is Low. When <Green>, EON is Low and EOC is High.

  • Page 7: Getting Started

    Getting Started To initiate the Contour function, patch a Gate to the Gate Input. Any signal 1.5V or greater Figure 1: Typical Gate Signal in amplitude works to start the event. Note: that the width of the Gate is also very Gate High important as it determines the Sustain Time.

If you do not have VCAs to spare, try patching the two outputs from the CONTOUR to di erent modulation destinations on the same voice so that as one parameter is intensi ed, the other is diminished. For example, patch the CONTOUR Output to the Fold CV Input on the DPO and the Mirrored Out to the Shape CV Input.

    EON and EOC EON (End of Onset): This Gate Output goes High after the Onset portion of the CONTOUR is nished, and goes low after the Decay portion is nished (Figure 6, 2). It could be Figure 6: EON and EOC...

    Patch Ideas Analog/Control Voltages: Voltage Controlled Transient Generator (Attack/ Decay Envelope) Set Sustain Panel Control Full CCW. A gate applied to the Gate Input starts the transient function, which rises from 0V to 8V at a rate determined by the Onset parameter, then falls from 8V to 0V at a rate determined by the Decay parameter. This function is re-trigger-able during the falling portion.
  • Page 11 Patch Ideas (con’t) Typical Voltage Controlled Triangle Function (LFO) Patch the EOC to the Gate Input. Set Onset and Decay Panel Controls to 12:00. Apply the desired modulation to both CV inputs. Setting Onset and Decay parameters further clockwise lengthens the cycle. Setting these parameters further counter clockwise shortens the cycle, up to audio rate.
  • Page 12 Patch Ideas Analog/Control Voltages: Typical Voltage Controlled Pulse (Clock, LFO) Same as Voltage-Controlled Triangle Function, only the output is taken from EOC or EON. Using EON, the Onset parameter adjusts the frequency and Decay parameter adjusts pulse width and frequency. Using EOC, the opposite is true. Voltage Controlled Clock Divider Clock signal applied to the Gate Input is processed by a divisor as set by Onset parameter.
  • Page 13 Gate Controlled Crossfader Use this patch to fade between any two audio or CV sources, ying at the speed of an envelope. Variation: Gate controlled switch Set Onset and Decay full CCW, use EON and EOC instead of Contour and Mirrored Output.
