p-SLEW

• p-SLEW is a slew limiter module.

• p-SLEW is sold individually and as part of pICCOLO Bundle.

• Rise and Fall control knobs to control the slew up (rise) and slew down (fall) stages of incoming signal (max -5/+5V).

• Rise and Fall Shapes control knobs to shape such voltage changes in exponential, linear (when set in the middle) or logarithmic manner.

• CV inputs to affect Rise and Fall settings.

This module smoothes out an incoming signal so that the change in voltage level cannot exceed a certain number of volts per second. As a result, it is sometimes called a lag generator or processor, or more technically as an integrator. One common use of a slew limiter is to introduce portamento (a glide between notes) when you feed a pitch control voltage through it. Another common use is to smooth out the sudden on/off voltage of a gate signal into a more gradual envelope signal. You can also use a slew limiter for other functions, such as knocking the sharp edges of a triangle LFO wave to create something slightly more like a sine waveshape. It can also smooth out random or noisy signals.
