the serge dual universal slope generator (dsg) is probably the most versatile module of a serge modular system, incorporating a wide range of functions for both cv and audio. some functions for which one slope
generator can be used: vc transient envelope generator, vc lfo, vc portamento device, envelope follower (detector), vc pulse delay (monostable), sub-harmonic series generator (divider), audio oscillator with
variable waveform symmetry (saw to triangle), non-linear audio processor (low-fidelity vcf).
from the catalog: "the universal slope generators are unity gain voltage followers with voltage controllable slopes. the range of control is exponential, extremely wide, and the rise and fall times can be
controlled independently. the range of the slope generator is from sub-sonic to high audio frequency. trigger inputs and trigger outputs allows each section of this dual module to function as a transient
(envelope) generator, pulse delay, or in a "cycling mode" (to produce an lfo or clock). since the rise and fall times are voltage controllable, this adds another dimension to the above functions.
the dsg mk2 version has been optimized for audio performance and speed/precision. the top section covers a frequency range up to more than 10khz. it also offers improved tracking and some temperature
compensation.
