Karacter

On top of everything the 500 series module has to offer, the amazing special feature of the rack version is its CV capability: By feeding external control voltages into the karacter it is possible to modulate or recall its Drive and Mix parameter settings. Analog synth, MIDI-to-CV interfaces and many other kinds of sources can be used to feed the karacter with oscillators, value sweeps and setup changes.
