Can Analog Heat deal with Eurorack CV outside -5/5v?

Elektron Gear Analog Heat

Just received my Heat and having fun with it. I want to try it with modular, but just want to make sure if I need to attenuate my CV signals between -5 and 5 before sending it to Heat. Will Heat be damaged if you send it too hot CV?

#2

Heat has calibration for incoming CV. Very handy. In the settings somewhere. You’ll find it.

Thanks Carl, I see those settings are used to calibrate the zero and max levels between -5.5 and 5.5.

I’m interested however if there is protection to the circuitry if I accidentally patch in a module that sends a 10v cv, would I end up frying the unit?

#4

I have sent voltages from some of my eurorack modules that are outside the +/-5v range. And my Heat still works. Now I don’t know the inner workings of the Heat. But I think it’d possibly cause a lot of trouble for Elektron to omit some sort of protection on the inputs for such a “flexible” standard as CV. They are smarter than that.

Thanks for the heads up for being the intrepid explorer :slight_smile:
