Overview

The Mini PEG is a "pingable" envelope generator with the envelope time set by the duration between

pulses ("pings"). The tempo can be set by tapping the Ping button, or by patching an external clock into

the Ping jack. The ping clock is then multiplied or divided by the amount set by the Div/Mult knob and

CV, from /32 to x16. The envelope will be as long as the period of the divided/multiplied clock. Various

waveshapes can be selected using the Shape knob and CV. The envelope can also be scaled, inverted

and offset using the Scale and Offset knobs.

Sending a trigger into the Trigger jack will produce an envelope. The Mini PEG can also function as an

LFO by producing envelopes constantly when the Cycle button is engaged, or when a gate is held high

on the Cycle jack.

Beginning Patch

Step 1: Prepare the Mini PEG

Unplug all cables, turn Div/Mult, and Shape to center, turn Scale and Offset all the

way up. Make sure Cycle is off (not lit up).

Plug the ENV OUT jack into something you want to modulate — perhaps a filter, or the

pitch of an oscillator.

Step 2: Set the ping clock

Before the Mini PEG can generate an envelope, you need to supply a ping clock. The

ping clock is the basic reference that determines the timing of the envelope.

Tap the Ping button two or three times, about a second between taps. It's easier to see

what's going on with a slow envelope. The Ping button should be flashing white at the

tempo you tapped. If you give a third tap, the time between taps will be averaged.

You could also run an external clock into the Ping jack (when a trigger is received on

the Ping jack, the internal tap tempo clock is stopped).

Step 3: Provide a trigger source

Cycle

Like any envelope module, the Mini PEG will produce an envelope when it receives a

trigger. Also like many envelope modules, it can be set to self-trigger so that it'll cycle

without any external trigger.

Cycle

Press the Cycle button (it will light up orange). Notice the red/blue light above the ENV

OUT jack starts flashing. The envelope is now running freely, in time with the ping clock.

Adjust the other module(s) you are running the Mini PEG into so you can hear the

Trigger

modulation.

You could also turn Cycle off and run a manual trigger into the Trigger jack (e.g. try the

gate output from a sequencer, or a slow LFO, or perhaps a slow clock output from a

QCD, RCD, or other clock module.)

Step 4: Adjust the output level

Scale

Adjust the Scale and Offset knobs to get a voltage range that works well with whatever

you're modulating.

Offset

Step 5: Set the Division/Multiplication amount

Turn the Div/Mult knob to various settings and watch the Ping button flash faster or

slower. Notice how the tempo doesn't change gradually, but instead jumps from speed

to speed. This is because each speed is an integer multiple or division of the original

tempo (e.g. three times as fast, or half as slow). You also can modulate this parameter
