Function
Limited WARRANTY: Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards power cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.
Installation: The Make Noise FUNCTION is an electronic signal generator/ processor requiring 30mA of +12V and 30mA of -12V regulated power and properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It is designed to be used within the euro format modular synthesizer system. Go to http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100t_e.htm for the details of this format.

Use for Lag, Portamento, S&H, T&H and ASR (Attack Sustain Release type envelopes). Trigger IN: Gate or Pulse applied to this input will trigger the circuit regardless of activity at the Signal IN. The result being a 0V to 8V function, aka Envelope, whose characteristics are defined by the Rise, Fall, and Vari-Response parameters.

Contrary to the Rise and Fall CV IN, BOTH has an Exponential response and Positive control signals decrease total time while Negative control signals increase total time. Fall CV IN: Linear control signal input for Fall parameter. Positive control signals increase Fall Time.
Overview: FUNCTION is part of the MATHS family of control voltage utility modules. It is a small analog computer designed for musical purposes. Amongst other things, the Function will allow you to: 1. Generate a variety of linear, logarithmic, or exponential triggered or continuous functions 2. Generate discrete time functions 3. Integrate an incoming signal 4. Invert an incoming signal 5. Generate analog signals from digital information (Gate/ Clock) 6.
Patch Ideas Analog/ Control Voltages: Voltage Controlled Transient Generator (Attack/ Decay Envelope) A pulse or gate applied to the Trigger IN starts the transient function, which rises from 0V to 8V at a rate determined by the Rise parameter, then Falls from 8V to 0V at a rate determined by the Fall parameter. This function is re-trigger-able during the falling portion. Rise and Fall are independently voltage controllable, with response as set by the Vari-Response panel Control.
Patch Ideas Digital/ Gates/ Clocking: Typical Voltage Controlled Pulse (Clock, LFO) Same as Voltage Controlled Triangle Function, only the output is taken from EOC or EOR. Using EOR, the RISE parameter will more effectively adjust frequency, and FALL parameter will adjust pulse width. Using EOC, the opposite is true: where Rise more effectively adjusts Width and Fall adjust frequency. All adjustments to Rise and Fall parameters will affect frequency.
