A pair of modulatable knobs with adjustable, modulatable tapers.

A taper is a transfer function that defines the relationship between the position of the knob and the device’s output value.

Tapers can produce linear, J-shaped, or S-shaped tapers, as well as inverted J and S tapers.

WARNING: Modulating a LEVEL knob beyond its normal range can generate outputs far outside the knob’s normal range. This is especially true as the CURVE knob approaches either extreme.

Controls

• LEVEL: Selects a position along the transfer function defined by the TAPER panel.

• CURVE: The curvature of the transfer function applied to the LEVEL knob.

  The center position produces a linear taper. Rotation away from the center increases the the curvature of the transfer function. Counterclockwise rotation inverts the shape of the curve.

  The shape switch (S / J) selects the general shape of the transfer function.

• UNI / BI: The voltage range of the output signal. 0 to 10V (UNI) or -5 to 5V (BI).

Ports

• OUT: The output voltage, determined by applying the transfer function to the position of the LEVEL knob.

• CV: A control voltage signal to modulate the associated parameter. Each CV input has an attenuverter.
