Inspired by Yesterday's Legends. Built for Today.
Micro Voice Alunia is a versatile polyphonic synth voice designed for powerful, immediate sound creation within Voltage Modular. With two bold oscillators plus a sub oscillator, an expressive filter, and a smooth, musical envelope and lfo, it brings rich, playable tones to everything from shimmering pads to ripping lead sounds to deep, punchy bass. A lush stereo chorus completes the package.
MANUAL

LFO
- ONSET Knob
- Set the onset time the LFO takes to reach full level
- NOTE: the LFO is linear

- SHAPE Knob
- Control the shape of the LFO continuously from triangle-ish to sine-ish to square-ish
- NOTE: the lfo is tuned to be smooth so you wont get harsh kinks or jumps
- OUTPUT CV
- Direct output of the LFO signal
VCO1

- SAW/SQUARE Toggle Buttons
- Enable or disable the respective waveshape for the VCO
- NOTE: enabling multiple waveshapes attenuates the VCO accordingly
- PW Knob
- Control the Pulse-Width of the SQUARE waveform

- OUTPUT
- Direct output of the VCO2 signal
VCO ADD
- SUB Toggle Button
- Enable the SUB VCO
- NOTE SUB VCO is in phase with VCO1 (base unison voice if enabled)
- OCTAVE KNOB
- Set sub octave relative to the base PITCH (PITCH CV + Octave Knob)
- SHAPE Knob
- Set shape of the SUB VCO from sine to smooth square
- OUTPUT
- Direct output of SUB VCO signal
MIXER
- VCO1/VCO2/SUB/EXT IN/NOISE Knobs

- Set the frequency of the main Low-Pass Filter
- FREQ ENV/LFO
- Set the amount of ENV/LFO modulation on the Low-Pass Filter Frequency
- FREQ CV
- Control the Low-Pass Filter Frequency with exponential CV (1V/Octave)
- NOTE: if resonance is turned up to self-oscillation the filter can be played in pitch with this CV input
- RES Knob
- Set the Low-Pass Filter Resonance
- NOTE: at high values the filter starts to self-oscillate producing a sine wave
- DRIVE Knob
- Set the drive for the input signal for the Low-Pass Filter to overdrive the filter into saturation
- NOTE: with high signals the filter frequency slightly deviates
- TYPE Switch
- Set the Low-Pass Filter type
- NOTE: Sets the number of filter poles
- 1 Pole: 6dB/Octave
- 2 Pole: 12dB/Octave
- 3 Pole: 18dB/Octave
