Page 4: Important Safety Information
Please ensure that all analog devices are turned off before plugging them in. This will protect you from any possible—albeit weak—electrical shocks, as well as protecting your speakers and your hearing from sudden peaks. For digital devices, be sure to at least lower the volume on your playback equipment. SINE WARP 9 (English) -

(low-pass, bandpass or notch). The dynamics of the filtered signal are then influenced by a voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA). The output features a volume control, a switchable distortion effect and a bypass switch. The modulation of the VCF is described in 2.1 and the VCA in 2.4. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 9: Getting Started
1.4 Getting started Connect the included power adapter to the 12V AC socket on the rear panel of the SINE WARP 9. Switch the device on. The programs have been preconfigured with the following values: o MIDI channel: 1 o Filter Mode: Low-pass... - Page 10 Connect a sequencer to the MIDI OUTPUT, start the sequencer in recording mode and adjust the Cutoff control, for example. The SINE WARP 9 will send controller data (channel 1) that will be recorded by the sequencer. When the sequencer sends the recorded controller data back to the WARP 9, the cutoff frequency will change to match the controller adjustment during recording.

Page 12: Envelope
Manual Manual adjustment of the cutoff frequency with the Cutoff control Envelope Modulation of the cutoff frequency by the envelope of the SINE WARP 9. The ENV MOD control adjusts the modulation depth. 2.2 Envelope The Warp 9 features an ADSR envelope with an adjustable delay. The following diagram shows the temporal progression of the envelope voltage when triggering the envelope. -
Page 13: Triggering The Envelope (Trigger Source - Env Mode)
Note Off messages or an All Note Off message. The triggering ends when all received notes (Note On messages) have been switched off (equivalent of an All Note Off message). Trigger signals are created by a connected audio signal. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 14: Env Trigger Mode
Very short delay, attack and decay times result in a very high repeat frequency, resulting in an effect similar to a ring modulator. Example: Delay, Attack at minimum, Sustain 50% SINE WARP 9 (English) - Page 15 (high LFO value) and minimum decay time (low LFO value). The closer the control is to the MAX position, the more prevalent minimal decay times will be. Example: Range 1, triangle LFO, Delay, Attack, Sustain and Release minimum SINE WARP 9 (English)
- Page 16 Unlike RPT mode, the envelope will not be triggered further. The envelope will only be triggered once if the trigger pulse is shorter than the delay time. SINE WARP 9 (English)

Page 17: Vca Modulation (Vca Mode)
127 (maximum VCA volume). Please note that the VCA is always mute in Gate or ENV mode (if no trigger signal has been applied or the envelope has not been triggered). Only an active gate signal or a triggered envelope can be influenced by the controller. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 18: Lfo (Low Frequency Oscillator)
LFO is not reset (LFO Reset control in Norm position). The triggered waveforms process the trigger signals selected with Trigger Source. The waveforms correspond to the illustrations below. S/H is a waveform in which the LFO generates random values. Triangle Sawtooth Inverted sawtooth Square wave Random SINE WARP 9 (English) - Page 19 LFO generates a normal triangle signal. With each trigger pulse, the LFO value jumps upward (in the case of an ascending triangle flank) or downward (descending flank). The height of the jump increases with the LFO rate. SINE WARP 9 (English)
- Page 20 The LFO generates a constant value that increases with each trigger pulse. This in- crease depends on the LFO rate, with a high LFO rate resulting in high jumps. The LFO once again starts at the minimum once a maximum value has been reached. SINE WARP 9 (English)
-
Page 21: Lfo Reset
If one period of the triangle signal from which the staircase voltage was generated has elapsed, the LFO will remain at its minimum value. o AT The staircase voltage as described in 2.5.1 is reset to its minimum value with each reset. SINE WARP 9 (English) - Page 22 The reset is activated at the end of the trigger (e.g. Trigger Source = MIDI: Note Off). Example: Triangle o S/H The LFO generates a new random value at each start and end of a trigger. The LFO Rate control does not have any effect in this case. SINE WARP 9 (English)
- Page 23 For example, the LFO intensity increases in the attack phase and drops to the sustain level after the decay phase. The LFO intensity will be 0 at the end of the release phase. Example; triangle LFO SINE WARP 9 (English)

Page 24: Analog Trigger
(TRIGGER INPUT socket open) can be used as an analog trigger signal to activate the envelope or generate the VCA gate voltage. The volume at which the analog trigger takes effect depends on the selected trigger level. SINE WARP 9 (English) -

Bypass Switches between the filtered and original signal. 2.8 Program selection The SINE WARP 9 features 32 program memory slots organized in 2 groups (A/B) of 16 programs each. The following data is stored in a program: Filter mode All Modulation 1 parameters... -
Page 26: Manual Program Selection
Programs can be selected via MIDI using Program Change messages containing program numbers (1-32). Please note that Programm Change messages will only be accepted if they are sent on the send and receive channel of the SINE WARP 9. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 27: Copying And Saving Programs
Program Change messages for program selection (receive) Note On/Note Off for envelope triggering (receive) Control Change messages for parameter changes (send and receive) A shared send and receive channel can be selected at the SINE WARP 9 for sending and receiving data. SINE WARP 9 (English) -

Press the Write button briefly until the Write LED is lit. The settings have now been saved. Press the Program, Channel or Mode button to exit the Write function. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 29: Filter Mode
2.11 Filter mode The Filter of the SINE WARP 9 works in the following modes: Low-pass (LP) High-pass (HP) Band-pass (BP) Notch filter (N) The frequency responses of the individual filter types are depicted below. The low-pass filter lets all frequencies below the cutoff frequency pass and suppresses higher frequen- cies. -
Page 30: Midi Control
Control Changes (sending and reception only on the active receive channel) If a parameter is modified by changing one of the controls, the SINE WARP 9 will send an appropriate control-change message to the MIDI OUT which can then be recorded by a MIDI sequencer. -
Page 31: Modulation 1
Attack value will change to the current position of the control knob. The control knobs of the 3 parameter groups have different value ranges. The values on the labels of the front panel of the Warp 9 apply to the Select 1 parameters. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 32: Appendix
To check whether the calibration has been performed correctly, choose Select 1 and set the controls to the position of the various values. The Select LED must remain lit (value recognized). The value is invalid if the LED flashes between two values. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
Page 33: Initializing Programs
When switching the device on, press and hold the Channel and Mode buttons at the same time. The 32 programs will be initialized one at a time. The process is complete when the Prog LED starts to flash. The Warp 9 will then be in normal operating mode. SINE WARP 9 (English) -
