That is actually not the proper behavior of these inputs. The CV inputs
are the equivalent of turning the 'up, down, up/down' pots themselves.
there's a probability (paul?) that the LFO going into negative would
have a negative (heh) effect, that is, the CV inputs may only be
designed to accept positive control voltages, and the LFO provides a
+-5volt peak to peak.
I do ∗not∗ mean to be insulting here, but perhaps reading a primer on
how modular synths work would help. CV inputs for most modules work
more or less the same as these. The unfortunate thing is that this is
not a really easy or intuitive module with which to learn the ins, outs,
and 'feel' of using CV control instead of a knob.
Nothing is a substitute for hands-on expereience, but if you have a
limited array of modules in your rig, hands-on learning of the 'basics'
(again, no insult intended) might be difficult, so reading up would
probably be helpful.
It's possible that I have totally misunderstoor, and if so, I apologize,
but again, I mean no insult to you. We all start somewhere, and
modulars, while pretty damned intuitive with experience, are pretty
arcane beasts and can be very intimidating and confusing. Occasionally
the specific details of hte operation of one of my modules still
conufses me, specificlaly my MOTM 190 uVCA, which is a very important
and widely used module!
Best wishes, good luck and happy tweaking (and patching)!
