Module power cable orientation is correct at both the rack and module side. Use the IDC ribbon cable supplied with the module. • Ensure the rack earth / grounding is correct. • Take care to avoid patch cables falling into the rack or touching module PCB’s Ana2 Official Manual...

Page 9 Mag Output: Difference between both channels, output is always positive. Step Output: Track and hold, clocked from the two inputs. Swap Output: Switched output from either of the two inputs or no input. Box Output: Bipolar comparator, generates a 3-level square wave. Ana2 Official Manual...

When a signal is also patched into either the main or multiply inputs any signal patched into the sum input will be added to the results of the attenuverter voltage processor. No Offset Shifted Down Shifted Up Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 12: Output Section
Switch output: an output where both channels are dynamically switched on or SWAP off, output is either channel 1, channel 2 or 0. Bipolar comparator: outputs a 3 level square wave that allows us to pulse- width modulate the positive and negative portions of a wave. Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 13 VCAs are notoriously difficult to "zero out". This means that even with no signal plugged into the multiply input for either channel there will probably be some input bleeding into the output Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 14 Keep in mind that like with a normal XOR gate, two positive voltage inputs will result in a negative voltage output. Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 15 For you feedback freaks out there MAG is quite useful for introducing chaotic behavior to a feedback loop, try using it with a filter to recreate some classic strange-attractor chaos circuits. Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 16 BOX output. Just like XOR, this output likes to modulate parameters that mostly want to be at a specific value but can wander off in either direction. This output's simplicity betrays its utility, something interesting is always going on at the SWAP output. SWAP Ana2 Official Manual...
Page 17 Another nifty feature of this output is that since it also generates a negative gate stream you can invert the voltage of the signal to get an extra gate pattern. Try using the multiply inputs for some pseudo-phase modulation on this output. Ana2 Official Manual...

I decided to add the MIX output to Ana v2. It's an incredibly simple patch but when you need it you will be glad that Ana can do this. Analog Logic Attenuverter Control. Offset Control. Input. Output. STEP STEP SWAP SWAP MYSTIC Ana2 Official Manual...
