MOD Controls – The MOD controls consist of a MOD switch, a DEPTH Knob,
and a RATE knob. Use the MOD controls to apply an LFO modulation waveform
to the SSD’s frequency sweep for an extra layer of analog fun.
MOD Switch – Set to ON to engage modulation. OFF disables
modulation.
DEPTH Knob – Controls modulation depth or amount. This knob is
center-detented. At 12 o’clock, the modulation depth is zero. Set the
knob fully counterclockwise for the largest negative depth. Set fully
clockwise for the maximum positive depth. Vary the positive or negative
depth setting to taste. The positive waveform has a rising sawtooth
waveshape that produces a reverse type of modulation at lower RATE
settings. Negative depth consists of a falling sawtooth that produces
sharper sounding modulation at lower RATE settings.
RATE Knob – Controls the rate of modulation. Turn this knob
clockwise to increase the modulation rate from 10 Hz to 1.5 kHz. Higher
RATE settings can produce ring modulated sounds.
LED – Lights up when the SSD is powered up. The LED blinks briefly upon
receiving an external trigger pulse or when you press the SSD’s white
pushbutton. If you power the SSD from a battery, the LED’s brightness
diminishes as the battery’s life nears its end.
Pushbutton Trigger – Push the white pushbutton at the center of the logo to
trigger the SSD and create amazing sounds.
