NAMM 2013: 4ms Pingable Animation Generator

via 4ms

"We've been playing with the PAG (Pingable Animation Generator) beta version 2. Look for it at NAMM [Hall E, booth 1170].

Two channel animation (curve) generator uses LZX Visionary sync header
All outputs and CV inputs are scaled to 0-1V, for compatibility with other LZX Visionary modules (trigger threshold is 0.5V)
Each channel has two CV outputs: ENV (non-inverted, 0V to 1V) and 1-ENV (inverted, 1V to 0V)
Each channel has two gate outputs: End-of-Rise/Hold, and End-of-Fall
Trapezoidal waveforms (fade-in, hold, fade-out) can be obtained with the Hold jack and knob, which sets the ratio between the total fading time and holding time.
VCA input modulates the amplitude of the ENV and 1-ENV outputs (limited video-rate)
Link button connects Ping clock of two channels
At output frequencies less than the frame rate clock, all outputs update only at the top of each frame. This prevents ugly "chops" in the middle of frames
At frequencies greater than frame rate, the outputs are re-synced at the top of each frame
Tap/ping clock can be divided/multiplied from /64 to x64
Many similar features to the PEG:
Time length of animation curve (ping clock) is set by tap-tempo or external ping clock
Curve selection is linear, exponential, or log, or any combination, including blends (e.g. 25% log, 75% linear).
Skew sets the ratio of rise (fade-in) and fall (fade-out) times
CV inputs for all parameters (Div/Mult, Skew, Curve, Hold)
Trigger input for each channel
Cycle mode button for each channel"
