Z4000 - Voltage Controlled Envelope Generator
User Manual
Introduction
The Z4000 is a four-segment envelope generator with an additional CV processor that can be
used to scale, invert, mirror or clip the generated envelope. With its snappy envelopes, the
Z4000 can generate complex CV signals for controlling any CV input in your modular.
Lets get started.
To start using the Z4000, plug in a gate signal into the gate input, set ATTACK to minimum,
DECAY to 50%, SUSTAIN to 50%, and RELEASE to 50%. Set the ATTENUVERTER all the way to the
right and set the DEVIATER to 50%. Connect the OUT jack to the CV of a VCA or the FM of a lter
like the Z2040, or the FM input of the Z3000. When the gate goes high, the led should turn red
indicating an envelope. You should also hear the eect of the envelope over the VCA or lter.
Playing with segment knobs will let you set dierent envelopes, and playing with the
Attenuverter will let you scale down the envelope and invert it if set left of the 50%
position.
With the Deviater you can oset the envelopes position, pushing it into the negative voltage
range (CCW, yellow light) or positive voltage range (CW, red light) by applying CV into the
Deviaters CV input. The same eect can be done using external CV control from sequencers,
LFO’s, or another Z4000. You can even feedback the signal from the Z4000 into itself for further
manipulation of the curve shapes and time.
Segment Control Knobs Range up to 50%
You might have noticed that the segments control knobs start being responsive from about
50%. Although that might seems odd at rst, there is a good reason.
Creating snappy envelopes requires fast transients, but fast transients can also add artifacts to
the sound the envelope is applied to: This is known as pop or click.
In some sound design, this click is a welcomed part of the sound but in other designs, there is
a desire to reduce the click yet keep a snappy response.
Those two qualities are in opposite relation to each other. The Z4000’s rst 50% of the
segments knob range is dedicated to that initial area of sound design, providing you high
resolution for ne tuning of the envelope segments in the millisecond range. This large
millisecond range makes up for a great kitchen to cook up
transient sounds and percussive elements.

Segment Control Knobs Range from 50% and up
From 50% and up, the segments set envelopes in the range of a second and up to minutes,
and innity with the release set to maximum.
Attack Curve Switch
The attack curve switch (ATK) switches the attack segment slope from exponential to
logarithmic. This has a subtle eect and can be heard best with envelopes having long attack
segments. Below are two scope shots of the same envelope with the switch set in the two
modes:
Voltage Controlled Segments
Each of the four segments in the Z4000 are voltage controlled. The effective
voltage input range for each input is 0 to 5V. Higher voltage levels or negative
levels will not damage the Z4000. For example, the Z8000 Matrix Sequencer has
a voltage range of 0 to 10V so the effective range for the Z8000 to control the
Z4000 segments is up to 50% of the knob rotation. Please note that the incoming
CV is summed up with the internal voltage provided by the segment control knob,
i.e. if your Decay knob is set all the way to max, a CV in will do nothing as it
has no headroom left.
The CV inputs are what makes the envelope live, use them.
Attenuverter and Deviater Explained
The Attenuverter is a voltage attenuating and inverter; this means that in the 50% position, the
Z4000 will output no signal, turning the knob clockwise the envelope will become a positive
voltage and counter-clockwise will turn it into a negative voltage. The LED will indicate those
states with either an unlit, red, or yellow state, respectfully.
In addition, the envelope signal passes through yet another cv processor circuit called the
Deviater. What this does is add a static voltage to the signal, this is a mathematical analog
function of summing. The static voltage can be set to negative (counter-clockwise) or positive
(clockwise). So when summing the static voltage with the envelope voltage, a lot of interesting
things can happen such as osetting, mirroring and clipping. But voltage manipulation doesn't
end there, the Deviater includes a VC input allowing you to inject even more static signals or
dynamic signals into the analog “calculator. Go wild with the Deviater—plug in audio or
another envelope.
