The Manhattan Analog Control Voltage
Processor or ʻCVPʼ is a 4hp 38mm
deep control voltage processor. it
features a +/-5v offset, glide (slew) and
a bipolar attenuator. There is a two-
color led present to provide a visual
display of the output signal (+ = red/ -
= green).
The multiple output ('-->') provides a
buffered copy of the input signal. it is
configured to drive multiple inputs with
no signal drop. The twin outputs are
configured in the same way.
The total gain is trimmed to exactly 1.00, making the module suitable for use
with pitch cvs.

This document gives detailed instructions that assume you have purchased a
complete kit from www.thonk.co.uk. It also assumes no previous knowledge of
electronics. To learn to solder try
Watch and understand that whole YouTube video! If youʼre not achieving the
results shown in the video then you need to buy new tools or seek advice.
You will not end up with a working module otherwise.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Soldering iron, pliers, wire strippers, small flat head screwdriver and
