What kind of signals work with StarLab’s CV inputs?
The following inputs are designed to receive continuous CV input of +/-5V:
- SHIMMER – Sets shimmer gain.
- SHIMMER knob position acts as an offset.
- INTERVAL – Sets pitch interval for shimmer.
- Quantized to 1/2 steps over +/- 1 octave range.
- HIGH DAMP – Affects the wet signal high end filtering.
- Positive voltage opens filter.
- HIGH DAMP knob position acts as an offset.
- GLIMMER – Sets glimmer gain.
- GLIMMER knob position acts as offset.
- SPEED – Sets LFO speed.
- SPEED knob position acts as offset.
- DEPTH – Sets LFO depth.
- DEPTH knob position acts as offset.
- EXT LFO IN – External LFO input.
- DEPTH knob acts as attenuverter.
- FEEDBACK – Affects delay feedback or Karplus-Strong string decay/resonance.
- FEEDBACK knob position acts as offset.
- DECAY – Affects reverb decay length.
- DECAY knob position acts as offset.
- WET – Affects wet output signal level.
- WET knob position acts as offset.
The following inputs are designed to receive 0-5V CV input.
- INFINITE – Engages the infinite effect to hold the input signal going into the reverb.
- Rising edge trigger will toggle the state.
- Can be set to momentary response by pressing and holding REGEN button at power-up.
- Set to latching response by default.
- IN GATE – Gates the input to the reverb when CV is high.
- BLUE INPUT GAIN LED indicates audio input is gated and not sent to the reverb.
- Can be set to latching response by pressing and holding HIGH BAND button at power-up. Set to momentary response by default.
- Karplus-Strong mode – Continuously excites or ‘bows’ the string in latching or momentary operation.
- FAVORITE – Toggles between the physical knob/switch settings of the module and the selected Favorite preset setting.
- ECHO ON – Busses the delay output to the WET output to mix with the reverb signal.
- Can be set to momentary response by pressing and holding ECHO ON button at power-up. Set to latching response by default.
The following inputs are designed to receive 0-5V rising edge trigger CV input.
- LFO CLOCK IN – Sets the LFO speed to sync with phase-alignment to the clock input.
- SPEED knob acts as clock divider/multiplier.
- TAP/TRIG – Sets the delay time with clock CV input. DELAY/TUNE knob acts as clock multiplier/divider.
- Clock min 25ms, clock max 3s.
- Karplus-Strong mode – Triggers or ‘plucks’ the string on rising edge transition.
- CLEAR – Clears audio data from reverb buffer when rising edge detected.
Additional CV Voltage Ranges
- SIZE/PITCH +/-2V
- Provides 1V/octave pitch tracking of the SIZE/PITCH knob.
- -2V = 2 octaves down
- 0V = No size/pitch change
- +2V = 2 octaves up. Knob position acts as offset.
- Provides 1V/octave pitch tracking of the SIZE/PITCH knob.
- SIZE/PITCH (Karplus-Strong mode) 0-4V
- Tunes string to a range of 4 octaves over 4V at 1V/octave.
- DELAY/TUNE knob acts as fine tune control over 1 octave range.
