SUBTRACTOR SYNTHESIZER

Connections
Flipping the Subtractor around reveals a plethora of connection possibilities,
most of which are CV/Gate related. Using CV/Gate is described in the chap-
ter “Routing Audio and CV”.
Audio Output
This is Subtractor’s main audio output. When you create a new Subtractor
device, this is auto-routed to the first available channel on the audio mixer.
Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the Subtractor
from another CV/Gate device (typically a Matrix or a Redrum). The signal to
the CV input controls the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input deliv-
ers note on/off along with velocity.
! For best results, you should use the Sequencer Control inputs with
monophonic sounds.
Modulation Inputs
! Remember that CV connections will not be stored in the Subtractor
patch, even if the connections are to/from the same Subtractor de-
vice!
These control voltage (CV) inputs (with associated voltage trim pots), can
modulate various Subtractor parameters from other devices, or from the
modulation outputs of the same Subtractor device. These inputs can control
the following parameters:
• Oscillator Pitch (both Osc 1 & 2).
• Oscillator Phase Offset (both Osc 1 & 2).
• FM Amount
• Filter 1 Cutoff
• Filter 1 Res
• Filter 2 Cutoff
• Amp Level
• Mod Wheel
Modulation Outputs
The Modulation outputs can be used to voltage control other devices, or
other parameters in the same Subtractor device. The Modulation Outputs
are:
• Mod Envelope
• Filter Envelope
• LFO 1
Gate Inputs
These inputs can receive a CV signal to trigger the following envelopes. Note
that connecting to these inputs will override the normal triggering of the en-
velopes. For example, if you connected an LFO output to the Gate Amp in-
put, you would not trigger the amp envelope by playing notes, as this is now
controlled by the LFO. In addition you would only hear the LFO triggering the
envelope for the notes that you hold down. The following Gate Inputs can be
selected:
• Amp Envelope
• Filter Envelope
• Mod Envelope
