Controls Overview - Mutable Instruments Blades User Manual

C. Amount of gain and distortion or wavefolding applied to the input signal. A gain of 0dB is achieved
with the knob at 11 o'clock. This knob also acts as an offset control for the DRIVE CV input (3).
D. Response of the drive circuit, continuously variable between round soft-clipping, and a two-stage
wavefolder.
E. Filter input level indicator LED.
F. Filter response. Continuously variable between low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. When the filter is
self-oscillating, with no input signal, this adjusts the phase of the sine-wave produced by the filter.
G. Filter routing. This knob controls the signal routing (single, parallel or series) between the two filters.
H. Attenuverters for the two filters' frequency and resonance CV inputs, and for the ROUTING CV input.
I. Filter cutoff coupling. When this button is pressed and illuminated, filter 2's cutoff frequency is set
relatively to filter 1's cutoff frequency. For example, when filter 2's FREQUENCY knob is at 12 o'clock,
both filters share the same cutoff frequency. With the knob past (or before) 12 o'clock, filter 2's cutoff
frequency will follow filter 1's, but transposed up (or down).
1. CV inputs for filter mode, cutoff frequency, resonance and filter routing.
2. V/OCT input. Controls the cutoff frequency according to the 1 V/octave scale.
3. Drive CV input. If no patch cable is inserted in this input, a 2V voltage is applied to the drive circuit.
This is why a moderate, but non-null, gain is obtained when the DRIVE knob [C] is fully turned counter-
clockwise.
4. DC-coupled signal input.
5. Individual filter output.
6. Main output. Carries a blend of filter 1 and filter 2's outputs, depending on the ROUTING knob and CV.
