Frequently Asked Questions

The attenuator lets you scale the incoming CV signal, allowing you to subtly tweak envelope parameters or create more extreme responses – think gentle fades versus sharp attacks.
It's excellent for creating rhythmic patterns and sequenced modulation, effectively resetting the envelope's cycle with each trigger signal, adding a nice stutter effect.
The Vintage Edition aims to recapture the original spec and aesthetic of early Doepfer modules; build quality is generally solid, though component tolerances might be slightly wider than some modern, premium-priced modules.
