Octostages has eight analog envelopes made from the 3310 chips that were used in the iconic OBX synth from 1979. Unlike modern recreations of the OBX and OBXa family which are all made with digital emulation of the envelopes, Octosatges is the all analog real deal.
The module is equipped with polyphonic jacks. The Polyphonic jacks are patched with Polytip patch cables. In addition a mono jack allow to globally modulate the envelope incoming-poly CV.
The VELOCITY CV INs are positive Velocity, meaning the higher the CV voltage coming into this jack, the higher the envelope CV out goes. The ATTACK CV INS is a voltage control of the Attack segment. When using a keyboard, patch the Velocity out from your ART Polyphonic oscillator and feel how the envelope responds to incoming velocity changes of the Attack. Make sure the Attack fader is set low to hear the maximum sweep of the attack.
The ATTENUATOR knob and CV IN jack can modulate the output level, with the attenuator knob determining the degree of modulation. Experiment by patching an LFO from ATX1 and listen to the Tremolo effect. This modulation input can also operate at audio rate harmonizing the target module up to complete harsh noise.
Voice matching on this module is considered somewhere between medium and high, maintaining a natural variation between the voices of polyphonic analog synths.
A note about the polyphonic jacks: these jacks are designed to patch using Polytip cables between polyphonic modules only. Do not plug any USB device into the polyphonic jacks as in some cases damage may occur if the USB device is not properly designed.
