User Guide
Thank you for purchasing from AvonSynth
Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new AvonSynth AVS-Glide-1
Quad VC Glide Eurorack Module. We trust that it will both serve and
inspire you as you create beautiful music with it for years to come.
In order to get the most out of your module, please ensure that you read
this User Guide in its entirety so that you fully understand all of its
functionality, and that you follow all necessary safety directions during use.

Installation
Step 1: Power your system off. Place the module in your Eurorack-compatible
rack in any convenient position. Affix the module to your rails using the
included mounting screws and nylon washers. Neglecting to use these
washers may result in unnecessary marking of the unit.
Step 2: Triple check the polarity of the power connector before connecting
the power cord to your power supply. Ensure that the -12v line marked on the
back of the module connects to the same end of the flat-cable that also
connects to the -12v line on your power supply. While AvonSynth
modules use shrouded connectors that make this process safer and more
reliable, some systems do not conform to this polarity standard, so careful
checking is always necessary. Connecting the module with incorrect polarity
can result in irreversable damage done to the module which cannot be
covered by warranty.
Step 3: Power up your system and start patching!

Description of Functionality

This is where the CV that you would
like to glide is plugged in. This is
commonly a 1V/Oct signal such as
from a keyboard or MIDI to CV Module.
Input
Output
This is where the glided signal is
output. This would traditionally be
sent to control the pitch of a VCO for
a classic 'portamento' effect.
CV
Glide Knob
This CV input makes the glide time
slower or faster when a positive or
negative voltage respectively is applied.
This is averaged with to the setting of the
corresponding Glide knob.
This knob controls the glide time of
its channel. When turned anti-clockwise,
the glide time is shorter and the
portamento effect less dramatic. When
turned clockwise the glide is longer
and more obvious.
All four channels of the module
operate independently and work
in the same way.
By adding a negative CV to a channel
while the Glide knob is in the leftmost
position, it is possible to acheive a glide
that is shorter than the lowest knob value.
The same is true conversely at the top
end of the range, however when the
knob in the rightmost position, a high
level CV can cause the Glide to
'wrap around' and trend downward again.
