Noise Engineering Pons Asinorum

Four-channel voltage-controlled envelope generator and LFO

Pons Asinorum is a compact four-channel multimode envelope generator and LFO with voltage control, three different envelope shapes, CV over cycle length, and a unique single encoder control scheme that makes mid-performance adjustments on single or multiple channels easy. Channels can be set separately to envelope or to LFO mode, giving Pons Asinorum maximal flexibility in a minimal footprint.

Size and power:

• 6 HP

• +12v: 60ma

• -12v: 50ma

• +5v: 0ma

Pons — from latin: “Bridge”
