Questions on A136 Distortion Module

2005-11-29 by ilanode

Hello list, the A136 is on my mind for long time. Recently I had the 
chance to toy with it for a while and was wondering on the results:
1) On *any* of the VCO's waveforms it had rather minor impact. 
2)Dramtic and great results could be obtained by feeding a more 
complex signal (= Jomox drum machine) into the module. However, some 
settings boost the bass which I didn't expect.
3) There was no neutral setting. Eg feeding white noise into the 
module while all pots set to 0 lead to an obvious loss of high freq.
4) I expected the -L pot being an attentuator for external CV on -A 
(some for L and A) but they seem to be independent from one another.
I've to admit that I have no experience with Distortion devices (let 
alone Waveshaper) so probably my expectations were mislead. Anyhow, I 
wonder wether all A136 behave as decribed: almost no effect even on a 
square wave; possible bass boost; lack of neutral setting; no 
connection btn. -L/-A and L/A? And, your application for the A136?
TIA, Ingo
