Welcome
Congratulations to your purchase of this module.
The manikk ADSR is an advanced envelope generator, capable of producing normal
ADSR-envelopes but also a number of experimental envelopes. In loop-mode, it can
also be used as LFO.
It is a linear envelope generator with modulation capability.
The module can also be used as a gate delay by using the “Jump”-parameter.
As usual, you need to install it properly inside a case made for Eurorack synthesizer
module systems.
The module can be expanded with a manikk Otto Active Expander. The expander
gives eight additional digital outputs for different states of the module.
All parameters can also be controlled by MIDI-CC with an optional midi module.
Happy tweaking!

Overview
Manikk ADSR is a linear envelope generator.
You can use it to create normal linear ADSR-style envelopes, but you can also use
the parameters and modulation capabilities to create other type of envelopes.
In loop-mode the module can be used as LFO. By using the jump-parameter, the
module can be used as a gate delay.
Main features:
• Linear behavior
• Loop – after a completed envelope it starts over again and again…
• Invert – the envelope is inverted and moves from max to zero and back to
max again.
• Jump – no gliding between the phases, it just waits and jumps to the target
level.
• Freeze – freeze the time and hold the current envelope output level.
• Reverse – run backwards: R-S-D-A.
• Amplitude – lower or modulate the amplitude.
• Time-range – extend or modulate the A, D, R-times.
• Modulation – the modulation jack can modulate most of the parameters.
• Retrig input jack – retrig an ongoing envelope.
• Gate/trig input jack – start the envelope.
• EG output jack – the resulting output curve (0 – 8,2V) .
Almost all of the parameters can be modulated by the modulation input jack.
Some basic behaviors can be configured by a number of config-parameters.

User interface and navigation
Feature-buttons
All buttons except for MOD controls different features directly.
When you make a short press on those buttons, you turn that feature on or off.
A red led indicates if the feature is on.
MOD-button
The MOD-button is special.
MOD-mode
If you make a short press, the module will go into MOD-mode. In MOD-mode the
MOD and the MODULATION jack leds are lit. The 7 feature leds now indicates if
that feature is affected by the modulation jack or not.
To return to run-mode from MOD-mode, you just make a short press again on the
MOD-button. The MOD led will turn off.
Config-mode
If you long-press (hold the MOD-button for a longer time), the module will go to
config-mode. Config-mode is indicated by a blinking MOD-led. An additional led
will also blink that indicates which config-parameter you are editing.
If you make a short press on the MOD-button when you are in config-mode, you will
cycle to the next config-parameter.
If you want to change the config-parameter, you use the Loop-button to cycle the
values for that config-parameter.
To leave config-mode and return to run-mode, you need to make a long-press again
on the MOD-button. The blinking leds will turn off and the MOD-led will also turn
off.
See the chapter “Config-parameters” for more information about each parameter and
their values.

LED’s
The module can be in three different modes described here:
Normal run mode
The leds indicates the status of the 7 features. Use the buttons to turn on or off.
MOD-led is turned off.
Modulation led shows if the modulation input signal peaks. The modulation range is
-5V to +5V.
Retrig and Gate leds indicates if these jacks have logic high input signals.
EG out led indicates if there is an envelope ongoing.
The leds under the A,D,S,R potentiometers indicates which phase the envelope
currently is in.
MOD mode
The MOD-led is lit.
The 7 feature leds shows if that feature is controlled by the modulation input jack.
Use the buttons to turn modulation on or off for the features. Long press on the 4 left
buttons toggles the A, D, S, R features on/off. In total the modulation input jack can
control 11 parameters.
Config mode
The MOD led is blinking.
Additional leds will also blink to indicate which config-parameter you are editing.
See the chapter “Config-parameters” for more information.

Parameters on the front-panel
LOOP
Puts the envelope generator in looping mode. As long as the gate is high, it will create
a looping ADSR curve. In loop-mode the module acts like a LFO.
There is a config-parameter that where you can select the sustain-mode. The sustain-
mode controls how the sustain state should behave. Normal sustain or the same fixed
time as the A, D or R phases. For more information see the config-parameters chapter.
Modulating this parameter turns the feature on or off.
INV
Inverts the envelope.
Normally the envelope starts from zero and reaches its maximum at the end of the
Attack phase, then reaches the sustain level within the Decay time. When the gate is
released the output goes from sustain level back to zero.
When it is inverted, it starts at the maximum level and goes to zero and then back to
max again.
Modulating this parameter turns the feature on or off.
JUMP
When jump is turned on, the curve will not glide to the next level. It will instead jump
and therefore make square-wave-like outputs. This can also be used as gate delay.
Modulating this parameter turns the feature on or off.
FRZ
When you activate the freeze, the current level of the output curve will freeze and
hold at that current level. It will stay at that level as long as the freeze is turned on.
When freeze is turned off again, the curve will continue from that level. You can
think of this as if you “stop the time”.
