CS-8 Series DTG Rev1.3, July 2020
PREFACE
First of all, congratulations on the purchase of this 3U Eurorack synthesizer
module. This manual contains a condensed description of the functionality
and addresses users with a certain level of elementary technical knowledge.
The present DTG of the CS-8 series is a very flexible and precise fully analogue
dual-transientgenerator, with two time bases, each. One of it generates the
analog transient waveform, the other provides either a Gate signal (0 V - +5 V)
of definite length, independently of the input gate length or outputs
(externally switchable) the incoming Gate transition by a definite delay time
(Delay).
All times, Gate length/delay, Attack, Decay, Release as well as the Sustain level
are externally voltage controllable. The Transient generator and also the
Gate can be reset to 0 V output voltage, separately, via a jack. A Hold input
allows to "freeze" immediately the current voltage output state of the transient
output until enabling again. A Decay-Active output becomes "high" active (+5
V) during the Decay phase. Moreover, it is possible by a jack to set the Sustain
level between -10 V and +10 V, meaning after achieving the regular final
value of the attack phase (+5V) the transient output will further rise to the
higher Sustain level above (>+5 V) asymptotically with the Decay time (second
attack phase).
Conclusively, the concept is well-rounded by a high-end-VCA for
continuously negative/positive output of the transient waveform from -5 V
(inverse) crossing the exact zero to +10 V final attack value.
Design and implementation meet highest technical standards. The front panel
is made from powdered and printed piece of aluminium sheet metal of 2 mm
gauge. The entire design and production work was done in Germany.
