March 18, 2001Encore Electronics' Universal Event Generator ($289) can be used as an eight
stage envelope generator, an LFO, or a step sequencer. It is 100% compatible
with the Synthesis Technology MOTM system. The UEG has 8 time pots and 7
level pots used to shape the envelope. It also sports LEDs which indicate
the current stage. The LEDs are pulse width modulated to show the relative
output level of each stage. Each stage can last up to 8 seconds and multiple
units can be connected.
There are three basic modes of the UEG: LOOP ONLY(functions as an LFO),
One-Shot(moves through the 8 stages only once) and Gated mode. Gated mode
has several option: Step sequencer, Finish Loop and Release modes. Gated
mode will cycle within any stage between 2 and 7 while the gate is on.
There is a manual gate button, a gate input, a time control voltage input, a
0 to 5 volt output, and a 5 volt trigger output used to trigger other events
when the UEG completes its cycle. It also has a variable slope switch. For more information, visit their web site at www.encoreelectronics.com. |
