Analogue Solutions Nyoorg Manual FILTERING EXTERNAL SOUND SOURCES External sound sources such as vocals guitars mixer sends samplers etc can be sent through the filter for extra treatment Note mic s and guitars may need presamping use if the signal is too quiet Simply plug the sound source into the front panel EXT4 socket Turn the mixer control Noise EXT4 to EXT4 and up to a suitable level You may wish to return the VCO1 and VCO2 mixer controls to their centre positions so the VCOs cannot be heard Turn the VCA mode switch to ON This will leave the VCA open so a constant signal can be heard Finally play around with the filter and modulation settings as necessary The VCO signals can also be introduced and use the various VCA modes and envelopes if you wish to contour the sound level and add additional effects Note The rear panel input sockets are wired direct to the mixer input Page 20 Analogue Solutions Nyoorg Manual Envelope Generators O O ATTAGK DEC REL SUSTAIN ATTACK DEC REL SUSTAIN EG1 ASR EG1 is an ASR attack sustain release envelope generator Use it to modulate various parameters of the synthesiser EG1 is generally assigned for use with modulating VCO1 and the filter cut off ATTACK Controls the Attack time This control sets the time the envelope signal will take to reach full level after the EG is initiated DEC REL Controls the Decay Release time the time it
