A CV processor is an easy to overlook utility - the Verbos Control Voltage Processor is a great one, a bit like a cross between the buchla 257 and a Serge SSG or Make Noise Function, allowing you to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and integrate any control voltage!
The Bottom section contains two processors that mix an offset with two bipolar inputs with attenuverters and also mixed with a voltage controlled crossfader (and leave one side of the crossfader unpatched and it becomes a VCA.) The top section is a slew based function generator, allowing use as a slew or portamento circuit with a separate speed for rising and falling voltages and variable curve. There is also a trigger input with manual control that feeds a gate the length of the rise time into the slew, allowing use as a variable curve envelope! This kind of slew also works great as an envelope follower and features a gate output that goes high when the voltage hits zero, which can be used for delayed triggers or fed to the trigger input to create LFOs and other cycling functions! The slew also features a bounce control that allows voltages to overshoot their original value, great for adding a "bounce" to modulation. A truly handy west coast voltage control processor!
Per Verbos:
"The Control Voltage Processor from Verbos Electronics GmbH is a suite of control voltage processing possibilities divided into 3 sections in a slim 18HP package. The lower 2 sections are DC coupled mixers that allow mixing, inverting, offsetting, scaling, multiplying, dividing, crossfading or a combination of these functions. The top section is a voltage controlled slewing processor with independent control of Positive and Negative slew rate, with some unique tricks. The Positive and Negative slew, or Rise and Fall rates if you like, have reversing attenuators. The slopes can be blended from linear to RC curves (starting all slides fast and ending slow, like a proper “East Coast” Portamento) without a change in speed. It can be triggered like a AD envelope and has a Gate out that goes high when the CV out is below 100mV. Of course it can loop by patching the Gate out to the Trigger in. The Bounce control adds a unique flare of overshoot to CV changes, a bit like the effect of stopping a tape reel from turning and then letting it go. The combination of multiple voltage processors offers the user the functions of analog computer."
