The A-136 is a distortion and waveshaping module with extensive control possibilities.
The incoming audio or cv signal is internally divided into 3 sections: positive component of the signal with adjustable clipping level (voltage controlled input) and positive or negative amplification of this component. negative component of the signal with adjustable clipping level (voltage controlled input) and positive or negative amplification of this component original signal with positive or negative amplification.
Different settings of 5 distortion/waveshaping parameters enable a lot of very complex and extreme waveform modifications. The process can be simple soft or hard clipping to completely distorted waveforms where the original signal is no longer recognizable.
