Ampla Versio is an ADSR-controlled VCA and resonant multimode-filter gate, with a
stereo bypassable chorus on top. The firmware offers a number of different dynamic
and tone-shaping options: the Blend control fades between a pure VCA and a VCA/filter
combo, behaving similarly to a traditional lowpass gate, but with lowpass, bandpass,
and highpass filter settings. The ADSR envelope is fully voltage controllable and also
features a dynamic curve control, creating an expressive envelope you can shape to
your liking.
Etymology
Ampla -- from Latin: "Amplify"
Versio -- from Latin: "Versatile"
"Versatile amplification"

    (receipt or invoice required). The cost of shipping to Noise Engineering is paid by the user. Modules requiring warranty repair will either be repaired or replaced at Noise Engineering's discretion. If you believe you have a product that has a defect that is out of warranty, please contact us.
  • Page 3: Input And Output Voltages

    Input and output voltages All CV inputs expect 0-5 V. All pots act as offsets and sum with the input CV. The Gate input responds to signals above +2 V. The audio inputs clip around 16 V peak to peak. Interface Presented here are the parameter names followed (in parentheses) by the names of those parameters on DV for...

    Blend parameter to give your sound an extra layer of tonal variation. Firmware updating The Ampla Versio firmware can be loaded to the Versio hardware by the user via our firmware webapp. In the unlikely event that the need arises, firmware patches will also be available on that site.
  • Page 5: Design Notes

    Design Notes The allure of being able to do alternate firmwares when we designed the Desmodus was strong. At writing, we have a firmware for almost every letter of the alphabet (we refer to things internally by their initials). The VCA/x-pass gate was something we were interested in but we didn’t know how much development we wanted to put into it as hardware.
