3D Model
The CGS509 is a Dual Transient Generator with voltage controllable rise/fall times. It is a scaled down version of the CGS514 Universal Slope Generator and provides some of the basic functions that can be patched on the CGS514 but occupying less panel space in your system and freeing up the CGS514 for other functions.
Common uses for the CGS509 are:-
-
As a simple 'AR' type envelope generator: apply a trigger to the [TRIGGER] jack to initiate an 'AR' envelope with a variable shape from 'slope' through 'triangle' to 'ramp'. If you apply the trigger/gate to the patch [SIGNAL] input you will get an ASR envelope with the sustain phase being present for as long as the [SIGNAL] is high.
-
As a voltage-controlled low-frequency oscillator: With the [END] output patched to the [TRIGGER] input the CGS509 becomes an LFO or audio oscillator. The [END] output can also be used as a sequencer clock.
When in 'oscillator' mode the frequency range extends from a high around 2.5kHz down to a cycle-period in excess of 4 minutes.
