  • Page 17: Oscillators

    Sawtooth Square/Pulse Your Proton has two analog VCOs, whose pitch can be controlled by MIDI (5-pin DIN or USB) or from a suitable CV source in the range -5 V to +5 V. The VCOs are capable of producing frequencies between 0.7 Hz to 50 kHz.
  • Page 18: Sub-Oscillators

    CV mixer in the utilities section. 3.6 Paraphonic Mode Pressing the para button puts the Proton into paraphonic mode, where playing two notes will assign one to each oscillator. The note priority can be set differently for normal mode and paraphonic mode.
  • Page 19: Wavefolder

    19 PROTON User Manual Wavefolder The wavefolder works by ‘folding’ a waveform back onto itself to create complex harmonics. The Proton wavefolder has two controls and four modes. 4.6.1 Folds The folds control sets the level of folding that the wavefolder performs, turning it CW increases the number of folds. Turning it fully CCW has the effect of cancelling the input altogether.
  • Page 20: Bypass

    Filters The Proton has two, independent, 12 dB/octave VCFs, which can also have some of their functions linked together. 5.1 Mode Each of the filters can be switched into either low pass, band pass or high pass mode. The current mode is indicated by an LED next to the appropriate panel graphic.

    ADSR Envelope Generators The Proton has two entirely independent ADSR envelope generators, which are individually triggered via the In patchbay. ADSR 1 is normally used to modulate the filters, while ADSR 2 is connected to the VCAs, although this connection can be broken using the In patchbay;...
  • Page 23: Low Frequency Oscillators

    23 PROTON User Manual Low Frequency Oscillators The Proton has two independent LFOs. Owing to space considerations some controls are shared between the two, which is achieved by use of the shift button. 9.1 Rate Each LFO has its own rate control, with a range from 0.01 Hz at full CCW to 200 Hz at full CW.

  • Page 25: Asr Envelope Generators

    The Proton has two ASR envelope generators, which can be individually triggered from the In patchbay. Because the buttons are shared between the two the shift button in the LFO section should be used to toggle between the two.
