Attenuator
Complete manual and reference for the Attenuator module.
UPDATED MAR 9, 2026
How Does It Work?#
Attenuator scales a single incoming voltage from zero to unity, then optionally clamps the result to a bipolar ±5V or ±10V range.
Quick Overview#
- One
Injack feeds oneOutjack. Levelonly attenuates. At1.0, the module is unity gain.Clampcan stayOFFor limit the output to±5Vor±10V.
Inputs And Outputs#
| Port | Type | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
In | Multi | Accepts any voltage signal you want to scale. |
Out | Multi | Sends the attenuated result after optional clamping. |
Controls Reference#
| Control | Values | Default | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
Level | 0..1 | 1 | Sets the amount of attenuation. 1 is unchanged level, 0 is silence / 0V. |
Clamp | OFF, 5V, 10V | OFF | Applies no limit, ±5V, or ±10V limiting to the output. |
Behavior Notes#
- If
Inis unpatched, the output is0V. - Clamping happens after the level stage.
- Level changes are smoothed, so knob moves do not step abruptly.
Typical Uses#
- Tame a modulation source before it hits a sensitive destination.
- Reduce audio or CV level without changing polarity.
- Keep a signal inside
±5Vor±10Vwhen patching into downstream modules.
