UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR YOUR ANIMAL PIT VIPER EURORACK MODULE USER MANUAL
Congratulations! You are now a proud human to a Pit Viper Eurorack Module.
In this edition, we retained all the venom of the original... and added a little more, in the form of a nasty filter with individual output levels!

UPPER KNOBS
LPF: The knob controls the amount of the filtered low-pass signal post drive.
BPF: The knob controls the amount of the filtered band-pass signal post drive.
HPF: The knob controls the amount of the filtered high-pass signal post drive.

GAIN: Controls the amount the clipping circuit is engaged.
VOLUME: Controls the overall volume of the distortion circuit.
BLEND: Controls the balance between the dry and wet signal on the mix out.

FREQUENCY CV: Controls the amount of CV modulating the frequency. If no input is connected to FREQUENCY IN, this knob can be used to sweep the frequency.

LOWER KNOBS
Q CV: Controls the amount of CV that modulates the Q amount for each filter band. The knob is normalized to control the Q amount if nothing is connected to Q IN.
FM CV: Controls the amount of CV signal that affects the self-FM circuit. The knob is normalized to control the amount of FM if nothing is connected to FM IN.

SOFT SWITCH: The middle position applies no clipping, the top and bottom positions give two different flavors of "soft" clipping. Soft doesn't mean nice and fluffy though.

HARD SWITCH: The middle position applies no clipping, the top and bottom positions give two different flavors of "hard" clipping (a bit like limiting).

SWITCHES
MIDS SWITCH: Sets the amount of bass cut prior to the drive circuit.

AUDIO I/O
INPUT: Input connector that takes in signal to be processed.
DRY OUT: Sends out the unprocessed signal as is.
WET OUT: The output of the distorted circuit pre-filter.
MIX OUT: The output of the distorted signal with the filtered output.

CV I/O
DYNAMICS IN: CV signal applied to the input controls the dynamics of the distortion circuit. IMPORTANT: This effect is best heard if GAIN is turned all the way down, and becomes less useful at higher settings.
FREQUENCY IN: CV signal applied to the input controls the cutoff point of each filter band.

Q IN: CV signal applied to the input controls the Q amount of each filter band.
FM IN: CV signal to the input controls the bias applied to the FM circuitry of the band-pass filter.
