Ramps is a 6HP Function Generator for Eurorack Modular synthesizers. Compact Function Generator Ramps is a simple yet powerful modulation source for Eurorack modular systems. In just 6HP, Ramps embodies the classic modular “Function Generator” while adding a few new tricks to experiment with. Truly a Swiss Army knife for analog modulation; Ramps can serve as an envelope generator, vcLFO/Oscillator, trigger source, slew limiter, and more. Equipped with 3 outputs and four inputs, there’s a lot packed into this small package. Panel Controls: The main switch allows users to loop the function. The switch is wired to give the following behaviors, Toggle Loop mode, standard (non-looping) mode - and momentary loop. The momentary mode is spring-loaded and will loop the function until you relieve pressure from the switch. The opposite direction loop mode is a toggle, allowing the function to oscillate until you manually toggle the switch back to center or momentary positions. Dedicated time knobs for Rise and Fall. CV control enters an attenuator and then a passive crossfader, allowing users to modulate the rise/fall times exclusively or collectively using a single control voltage. Trig [input] for triggering the the single cycle of the function.Input [input] is used for modifying different control voltages. Use this input to introduce “slew” on your source signal. when using a keyboard/sequencer, slew can be used as portamento. Slides between notes.V/OCT [Input] Patch your favorite sequencer or modulation source here for reasonably accurate pitch trackingEND [output] A short trigger will be output from this jack every time the function cycle has ended. This is a great source for manually clocking other modules, or triggering drum/eg modules.-OUT [output] the inverted output. This jack mirrors the standard “non-inverted” output and sends voltages in the range of 0v to -10v+OUT [output] the standard output with a voltage range of 0V to +10V Patch tips:There is not a dedicated shaping control for this module, however, if you’d like to ‘bend’ the curves in a logarithmic or exponential way, experiment with patching the inverted output into the CV input. Depending on the CV attenuator and position of the rise/fall crossfader, you will quickly see all of your wave-shaping wishes are readily available. That is patch programming at its finest.
