Factory calibrated to 0V DC (Please see ‘CALIBRATION’ on page 7 of this guide) POWER CONNECTOR: Doepfer-style 16-pin IDC Socket. The ADE-10 uses the Doepfer standard for power connection and cable orientation. The RED stripe on the supplied power cable connects to the NEGATIVE (-12V) rail on the ADE-10 with the RED stripe facing DOWN. This is marked on the back of the ADE-10 PCB as “-12 RED”.
: Overview Page 4 of 7 INTRODUCTION: The ADE-10 is a 3-stage analog waveshaping, wavefolding and feedback effect in a 10HP module in the Eurorack format. The 3 stages are arranged in series so any 1 stage can be operated independently or combined with either of the other 2 stages. All 3 stages can be modulated manually or via dedicated external CV inputs, which can also be attenuated and biased directly from the front panel.
: Shaping Page 5 of 7 The diagram below shows an approximation of the effect that each stage of the ADE-10 has on each of the three primary waveform types when the control for each stage is used in isolation and turned to full. n.b. The effect each stage has on the input waveform is ‘cyclical’ - i.e. as the knob for a particular stage is raised, the effect on the waveform ‘evolves’ through the input signal from dry to wet. n.b.
: CV Page 6 of 7 The external CV inputs of the ADE-10 should accept any CV, LFO or audio signal within a range of approximately +/-10V, however, CV content outside the range of 0-5V DC will be clipped and blocked internally. The diagram below shows how a single +/-5V (10V peak to peak) AC sine wave used as an external CV input can be attenuated and/or biased via the front panel controls to modulate within the internal 0-5V DC CV range with no need for PCB ‘jumpers’ or external signal conditioning. n.b.
