  • Page 6: Welcome

    Welcome Congratulations to your purchase of this module. The manikk ADSR is an advanced envelope generator, capable of producing normal ADSR-envelopes but also a number of experimental envelopes. In loop-mode, it can also be used as LFO. It is a linear envelope generator with modulation capability.

  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview Manikk ADSR is a linear envelope generator. You can use it to create normal linear ADSR-style envelopes, but you can also use the parameters and modulation capabilities to create other type of envelopes. In loop-mode the module can be used as LFO. By using the jump-parameter, the module can be used as a gate delay.

  • Page 8: User Interface And Navigation

    User interface and navigation Feature-buttons All buttons except for MOD controls different features directly. When you make a short press on those buttons, you turn that feature on or off. A red led indicates if the feature is on. MOD-button The MOD-button is special.

  • Page 9: Led's

    LED’s The module can be in three different modes described here: Normal run mode The leds indicates the status of the 7 features. Use the buttons to turn on or off. MOD-led is turned off. Modulation led shows if the modulation input signal peaks. The modulation range is -5V to +5V.

  • Page 10: Parameters On The Front-Panel

    Puts the envelope generator in looping mode. As long as the gate is high, it will create a looping ADSR curve. In loop-mode the module acts like a LFO. There is a config-parameter that where you can select the sustain-mode. The sustain- mode controls how the sustain state should behave.

  • Page 11: Rev

    Modulating this parameter turns the feature on or off. Reverse the order of the phases and run “backwards”. Normally the order of the phases is ADSR. When reversed, the order is RSDA. In reverse mode, it starts with Release and goes to Sustain, stays at the sustain until the gate goes low, then it finishes with a Decay and finally Attack back to zero.
  • Page 12 In config-mode you use the MOD-button to cycle to the next config parameter and you use the LOOP-button to cycle the values for the currently selected config- parameter. The value for the currently selected config-parameter is indicated by the four A, D, S, R-leds.

  • Page 13: Config Parameters

    Config parameters See the chapter “User interface and navigation” how to enter config-mode. Use short press on MOD-button to step to the next config-parameter. Use short press on LOOP-button to change the value for the currently selected parameter. The config parameters are cycled in the following order: Alternative modulation style MOD and MODULATION leds are blinking.

  • Page 14: Retrig-Type

    Retrig-type How the retrig should behave: 1) Retrig always restarts from zero with full Attack-time (or Release-time when reversed). 2) Retrig restarts from the current level (usually not zero) with full Attack-time (or Release-time when reversed). 3) Retrig restarts from the current level and with a calculated shortened time that depends on the current level.

    2) Divided by 2 3) Divided by 4 4) Divided by 8 Range-mode The time-range of the module can be adjusted in 4 steps: 1) Normal range, each time-potentiometer has a max of about 2 seconds. 2) Times multiplied by 2 3) Times multiplied by 4 4) Times multiplied by 8 MIDI-mode...

  • Page 16: Learn-Mode

    Learn-mode When you have selected the correct baud-rate and have hooked up a midi-keyboard that sends MIDI to this module, you can press a key on the MIDI-keyboard. The module will then detect the MIDI channel, store that and then leave config-mode and go back to run-mode.

    Connections Power connector Located at the bottom on the backside. Here you connect the normal Eurorack power connector (included). Two rows with: +12V, GND, GND, GND, -12V. Make sure you orientate the connector the correct way. The negative -12V is marked on the pcb with the text “red strip”.

    The expander gives 8 additional digital outputs. Pins on the back of the ADSR module These 6 pins are located on the lower right side of the ADSR backside. Between the power connector and the microprocessor board. Pin (top to bottom)

    TX (top pin on the backside) +5V (bottom pin, near the top of the microprocessor board) The RX and GND pins should be connected to the MIDI output pins of the manikk MIDI THRU module or the manikk Otto MIDI module.

  • Page 22: Midi Implementation

    MIDI Implementation The module can receive and act upon a number of control change messages received on the base channel. The base-channel is selected with the midi-learn function in the MIDI-mode config parameter (see config-parameters). All CC’s respond to a value 0-127 and will be scaled up or down depending on the parameter range.
  • Page 23 0-127, will be divided by 32 and sets 1 of the Cfg-Ampl 4 possible settings for amplitude. 0-127, will be divided by 32 and sets 1 of the Cfg-Rang 4 possible settings for range. Cfg-Gate 0-127, will be divided by 32 and sets 1 of the 3 possible settings for gate-type.
