Ammo 100 “Light Artillery” Ammo 100LA is the cut-down, oscillator-only edition of the Ammo Rack Extension series. Eschewing the complex internal routing matrix and internal envelope, the 100LA is an effi cient, rack-space saving device providing 128 preset waveforms, with the same a huge rate of fi re, from 0.001 Hz to 8.4 kHz at both audio and CV rate. Ammo’s high quality oscillator has built-in oversampling providing non-aliased audio up to a massive 18 kHz of harmonic content, even using a 44.1 kHz sam-...

In High Range the scaling is set equal temperament based on master tuning of A=440 Hz. Change the default High Range value to alter the master tuning, however for most purposes use Semitone and Cents to fi ne tune the oscillator pitch Ammo 100LA “Light Artillery” www.jiggery-pokery.com...

• Envelope CV In: —Charlotte Envelope Generator is a great companion to Ammo 100LA. When it is connected to Ammo 100LA’s Env CV In you can scale the envelope input using this control. Normally this can be left at maximum •...

For S&H random oscillator pitch effects route a Low Range random Ammo 100LA to a High Range Ammo 100LA. Set the master pitch on the latter and use the CV In trims on the audio oscillator to control the amount the pitch changes, although note the resulting pitch itself won’t be tuned as the random voltage can result in pitch frequencies between notes.
Back panel connectivity By including both CV and audio input and output, Ammo 100LA punches above its weight with the ability to create a truly modular system in conjunction with other Reason devices, but especially products in the Jiggery-Pokery Super-Spider range.

The oscillator signal is sent to all CV and audio outputs regardless of which Range you have selected; the internal signal path is entirely at audio rate. The CV outputs downsample the audio signal to Reason’s standard 1/64 CV rate. Ammo 100LA “Light Artillery” www.jiggery-pokery.com...

Audio rate FM effects are easily achievable by modulating an oscillator with another oscillator. Simply connect the audio output of one Ammo 100LA, the modulator, to the Audio Rate CV In of a second, the carrier, which is then used to cre- ate the sound output to the mix channel.

“Receive Notes” for the two new oscillators in the TS840 programmer! Now play your keyboard and you have a four voice mono- synth. But we have a Charlotte connected, so we can make this polyphonic with just one more knob twist! Ammo 100LA “Light Artillery” www.jiggery-pokery.com...

A selection of instrument and insert effect Combinators featuring the Ammo 100LA are available from your patch browser. As befi ts the sonic heart of a modular system, note that most of the patches which are using one or more Ammo 100LA devices as the instrument sound source require Charlotte Envelope Generator.

Envelope/Gate/Oneshot behaviour types The following table is a list of the behaviours available in Ammo 100LA depending on how you use the device, either stan- dalone with no external input, via a keyboard or the sequencer (MIDI Trig.), or in conjunction with the Charlotte VEGN or alternatively Thor’s gate/cv output and global envelope using the three Ammo 100LA Sequencer inputs Env, Gate and CV.
