4.10 Sample And Hold

The sample and hold function generates a random, stepped waveform by taking
a sample of the input signal. The sample rate is governed by the RATE control or
the SH CLOCK input. This generates a distinctive, bubbling random waveform that
can be used to modulate other synth parameters. Its random nature makes it well
suited to sci-fi effects. Try patching S&H to OSC 1&2 to modulate the oscillator's
pitch. The distinctive gurgling effect can be heard throughout sci-fi movies.
The GLIDE control limits the rate of change between samples, allowing smooth

(38)
transitions between sample values.

4.11 Slew Rate Limiter
PORTA TIME is the amount of time taken to transition between two MIDI notes.
This feature can be used to add a pleasing musical slide into your sounds.
The SLEW Limiter is used to limit the rate of change of a signal. For example, Slew
can be used to add Portamento to pitch CVs generated from an
external sequencer.

4.12 Attenuators
ATTENUATOR 1 is an additional VCA which can be used to reduce the amplitude
of the input signal based on the Att1 CV control or the attenuator 1 front panel
control (43).
ATTENUATOR 2 - Reduces the amplitude of a signal based on the attenuator
2 control (44). The BIPOLAR LFO output is routed to the attenuator 2 input
by default.
Note: The attenuator 2 output is also routed to P.WIDTH 1 and P.WIDTH 2 controls
(41) (42)
by default.

4.13 Pitch Bend Messages
The Neutron responds to pitch bend messages via USB MIDI or the MIDI IN and is
fixed to +/-2 semitones in software version 1.2.2.

5.1 Assignable Output
It is possible to select the source of the ASSIGN output jack.
To change the source press & hold the OSC SYNC button until both the RANGE
buttons are flashing. The currently selected assignable output is indicated
by the flashing LFO shape LED - the available options are (clockwise from the
sine shape):
OSC 1 CV
OSC 2 CV
"Note On" velocity
Modwheel
Aftertouch
Use the two range buttons to change the selected output. When you're done,
press and hold the OSC SYNC button until the RANGE buttons stop flashing. The
currently selected assignable output value will be stored and will persist across
power cycles.
