MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 INSTALLATION Remove module from packaging. Power down your modular synthesizer and disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Attach the included power cable to the module’s power connector and connect the other end to the power distribution bus in your EuroRack synthesizer case.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 DESCRIPTION MANTHER GROWL is a full featured, Eurorack monophonic synth voice with an analog signal path, and like the Manther Tabletop, it includes a coveted CEM3340 VCO IC chip. The analog filter is based on an SSM2044 chip. Square, Saw and Triangle waveforms have their own individual level controls (manual control as well as CV jack inputs), as well as their own individual outputs.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 GETTING STARTED To get right into your first patch, patch from the VCA OUT which is at the end of the signal flow (post VCA audio output). Make sure your VCA LEVEL is up as well as CUTOFF if you’re going from the VCA OUT.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 OSCILLATOR INDIVIDUAL VCO WAVEFORM DIRECT OUTPUTS: Square, Saw, Tri-Shape output. WAVEFORM CV INPUTS: Patch to external mixers or Patch from external CV sources to control the modulate other modules. levels of the Square, Saw and Tri-Shape waveforms.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 The LFO (low frequency oscillator) can be assigned to modulate the oscillator pitch, pulse width and the filter cutoff. LFO ASSIGNMENT CONTROLS: Assign LFO amount to VCO Pitch, VCO Pulsewidth and VCF Cutoff. LFO SPEED: Control the LFO speed from 60 mHz (16 seconds) to 20hz.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 The VCA is a voltage controlled attenuator envelope and includes manual controls for attack, decay, sustain, release of the envelope and VCA output level. VCA ENVELOPE OUTPUT: Patch the VCA Envelope out to attenuate other modules or gear or patch it to other Growl input jacks.
MANTHER GROWL MANUAL V.1 FILTER The VCF is a voltage controlled filter envelope with manual control over attack, decay, sustain, release and envelope level. FILTER CUTOFF CONTROL: Manual filter frequency control. FILTER RESONANCE CONTROL: Manual filter resonance control FILTER GATE INPUT: Insert gate to trigger Filter Envelope.
