The UEG can be used as an envelope generator, a complex LFO, or as a step sequencer.<\/p>\n<p>Eight stages are provided with adjustable time and level for each stage, and they each have an LED which indicates the relative voltage output for that stage.<\/p>\n<p>The top switch controls the major modes of the UEG. <em><strong>LOOPONLY<\/strong><\/em> mode will force the UEGto cycle between the loop points. This is essentially an LFO.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>ONESHOT<\/strong> <\/em>mode will cycle through all eight stages once, regardless of the duration of the gate input.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>GATED<\/strong><\/em> allows a new set of options controlled by the second switch. In this mode, the module will start the envelope when it receives a gate, but it will also loop as long as the gate is held. Once the gate is released, there are two ways for the envelope to end. In <em><strong>RELEASE<\/strong><\/em> mode, the UEG will complete the current stage, then jump immediately to stage 8. In <em><strong>FINISHLOOP<\/strong><\/em> mode, it will simply complete all the stages before stopping.<\/p>\n<p>The top position of the second switch is the <em><strong>STEP<\/strong><\/em> mode. In this mode, the UEGtakes on a whole different personality: it becomes a step sequencer! It will advance through the 8 stages for each positive pulse on the <em><strong>GATE<\/strong><\/em> input.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><strong>START<\/strong><\/em> and <em><strong>END<\/strong><\/em> loop switches allow the UEG to start a &#8220;loop&#8221; anywhere from stages 2 through 4, and end the loop between stages 5 and 7. These are used in <em><strong>LOOPONLY<\/strong><\/em>mode and in <em><strong>GATED<\/strong><\/em> mode.<\/p>\n<p>The output waveform can have one of three slopes: linear, log, and step. These are shown graphically on the front panel.<\/p>\n<p>The UEG also has a <em><strong>MANUALGATE<\/strong><\/em> button, useful to trigger the UEGwhile setting it up.<\/p>\n<p>The four 1\/4&#8243; jacks along the bottom are the two inputs and two outputs. The leftmost jack is the <em><strong>GATE<\/strong><\/em> input and it requires a fairly clean pulse or squarewave input. (A Triangle wave will also work, but it needs to be fairly fast.)<\/p>\n<p>The next jack is the <em><strong>TCV<\/strong><\/em>, or Time Control Voltage input. A 0 to 5 volt input will modulate all the time values to greater values.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><strong>OUT<\/strong><\/em> jack is the main output waveform. It is a 0 to 5 volt analog voltage that corresponds to the front panel settings.<\/p>\n<p>The <em><strong>TRIGOUT<\/strong><\/em> jack is the rightmost output and will fire off a short pulse at the conclusion of stage 8. It it also a 0 to 5 volt signal. This is useful to trigger other events in a MOTM system. For example, it could be used to trigger a second UEG to behave as a 16 stage sequence or envelope. In LFO mode the TRIGOUT can output a pulse for each stage of the LFO or at the end of the LFOcycle. All current users can have this update at no charge if they send us their UEG postage page both ways.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Modifications: Jack panel hardware changed to match the Switchcraft washers and nuts used on other MOTM modules. Added panel nuts to the switches, being very careful not to overtighten and stress the board. (They just didn&#8217;t look right without them.)
