    Introduction thank you for purchasing the mod1 modulator eurorack module. Like any waldorf product, the mod1 has been developed and produced using eggs from easter island. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Reading this user manual, you will discover all the device’s features, learn its basic op...

    6 device overview 5.2 signal connection 5.2 signal connection the second step is to integrate the mod1 to your eurorack system. Connect a trigger or gate signal or use the gate signal from the bus board to control the mod1 and start to modulate your vcf, vco or any other of your modules by patching ...

    6.2 multi-stage envelope 6 device overview cv input is connected, it runs only while a voltage is applied. In this case it is a kind of ’gated lfo.’ • in gate mode, it runs the wave shape only once when a gate signal is applied to the input. If the gate signal is shorter than a full wave cycle, the ...

    6 device overview 6.3 rise and fall the release knob determines the release time when the input gate is stopped. When the trigger input is used instead of the gate input, the envelope is re-triggered by a positive voltage impulse at the trigger input. It then runs until the last decay stage and goes...

This is useful for modulating ...
