Patching Maths Variable OUT back to RISE or FALL CV independently controls each slope's response curve

On Maths, the Variable OUT of CH.1 or 4, scaled by the Attenuvertor, can be fed back into the same channel’s RISE or FALL CV IN. Positive feedback makes the slope more exponential/aggressive; negative feedback makes it more logarithmic/gentle. Each slope is addressable independently. Setting VariResponse to noon and using self-feedback is more flexible than the fixed VariResponse knob — it creates continuously variable and dynamically controllable slope shapes. This generalizes to using any voltage (LFO, envelope) to modulate slope character.

Examples

Gate → CH.1 Trig IN. CH.1 Variable OUT → CH.1 RISE CV IN. Adjust Attenuvertor from full CCW to full CW to move from log to exp attack shape.

Assessment

Given a standard AD patch on Maths, describe how to make the attack exponential and the decay logarithmic simultaneously using only internal patching.

“By changing the level and polarity of the Variable OUT of CH. 1, 4 with the Attenuvertor, and feeding that signal back into CH.1, 4 at RISE or FALL Control IN, independent control of the corresponding slope is achieved.”
