CONTROL VOLTAGE or EXPRESSION SECTION:
Using the EXP knob and an external control voltage or EXPression pedal
with your ADG-1 will greatly increase the dynamic playing and tonal
possibilities as well as expand the control range beyond the extent of the
knobs. Use a standard 10-50K linear expression pedal that takes the +5V
voltage supplied on the ring jack and outputs the control voltage on the tip,
or use a 0-5V external CV voltage from a Eurorack module, Synthesizer,
DAW or similar source.
CAUTION:
Voltages over +5V or below 0V may damage your ADG-1.
Use only standard 0-5V control voltages. If your expression pedal has a
trim knob you may find it helpful to use this feature to reduce the range of
the expression pedal to less than a full knob sweep to make it easier to dial
in the exact sound you seek.
Please note in order to give a wider playing capability with expression
inputs, the control setting selected by the EXPression switch will reduce
the minimum knob setting slightly. The FEEDBACK, RATE & AMOUNT
control voltages are additive (CV is offset from knob position). This means
that the knob position is added to the expression position. For full control
voltage range set the knob to the most Counter Clock-Wise (CCW) setting.
TIME behaves differently as it is bi-polar.
This means that, as the TIME
level is decreased around a 2.5V midpoint the pitch will not shift, resulting
in not having to re-adjust the center delay time based on the modulation
amount.
This means that for full expression range the TIME knob must
be set near the center position when using an expression pedal.
Use only your fingers, a plastic screwdriver, guitar pick or similar plastic
device to turn the 4-position EXP rotary switch. Never use a metal object
that could damage the shaft. If you use this feature frequently we have
included a knob, C&K part number 297F02000. Note this knob will turn
the shaft but there is not enough shaft length through the enclosure to
permanently secure the knob to the shaft and it may fall off. Do not glue
the knob to the shaft or your ADG-1 will not be serviceable.
