Zlob Modular - Skew Fade LFO (Panel PCB)
Product information "Zlob Modular - Skew Fade LFO (Panel PCB)"
Analog skew-able xfade-able LFO Eurorack Module capable of a plethora of waveforms in 3HP
It has three rate settings ranging from 3 minutes and 30 seconds a cycle up to audio range at 20 hz. Triangle waves can be skewed between ramps and saws, and square waves pulse width can be adjusted from inverted triggers to triggers. The LFO’s unique feature is voltage controlled cross fading through the (“Fade CV” in) between square/shark tooth/sine waveforms provided at the “Fade Out”. All outs are also influenced by the skew knob resulting in many complicated and asymmetrical possibilities at the “Fade Out.” It can even be self patched(ie triangle or square into fade cv) for an extended pallet of waveforms. The “Fade CV” in expects a bipolar voltage 10vpp to fade from square to sine with the fade pot at noon position. Bicolor led provides constant display of positive and negative voltage crossings.

Product Safety Information
Please read this safety guide before assembly or use.
Important Notice & Intended Use
• This kit contains only a front panel and printed circuit board (PCB).
• All additional electronic components, hardware, and cables must be sourced separately by the user.
• The kit is intended for adult users experienced in electronics and modular synthesis.
• Assembly, including soldering, is required. Proper testing and installation are essential to ensure safe and functional operation.
• The completed module is intended for installation in a Eurorack-compatible synthesizer system powered by ±12V and +5V.
• Use outside this scope may result in malfunction, damage, or safety risks.
General Warnings
Electrical Hazards:
• Ensure the power supply matches the module’s specified voltage and current ratings (refer to the documentation). Incorrect voltage can damage the module and pose a safety risk.
• Never connect or disconnect the module while the Eurorack system is powered on.
• Wrong polarity can damage the module and the entire system. Verify correct orientation before powering.
Heat Generation:
• Completed modules may generate heat during operation. Ensure proper ventilation within your Eurorack case.
Sharp Edges:
• The panel and PCB may have sharp edges. Handle carefully to avoid injury.
Small Parts:
• Solder joints, headers, and hardware are small parts and may pose a choking hazard. Keep away from children and pets.
Compatibility:
• The design is intended only for Eurorack systems. Use with non-compatible formats may result in malfunction or damage.
Assembly Requirements
• Users must provide their own electronic components according to the bill of materials (BOM).
• Soldering skills are required to complete the module.
• Ensure a clean, well-lit and ventilated workspace free of flammable materials during assembly.
• Use appropriate tools and personal protective equipment, such as eye protection.
Testing
• Test the module thoroughly for shorts or incorrect assembly before powering it in your Eurorack system. When the unit has malfunctions due to incorrect assembly, the entire Eurorack system might be damaged. It's a good idea to test it in a separate case with only that single module.
• Use a multimeter or other appropriate tools to confirm proper functionality.
Installation and Use
• Mount securely in a Eurorack case using suitable screws.
• Use only a manufacturer-recommended power cable.
• Connect only when the system power is off.
• Follow module-specific documentation for correct operation. Do not exceed input/output specifications.
Responsibility
• Users are solely responsible for sourcing correct components, proper assembly, and testing.
• The manufacturer or distributor cannot guarantee performance if non-recommended components are used.
• Contact support for questions before assembly if needed.
Environmental Safety
• Dispose of PCBs, components, and packaging in accordance with local electronic waste regulations.
Liability Disclaimer
• The manufacturer or distributor is not responsible for injury, damage, or malfunction resulting from incorrect assembly, sourcing of unsuitable components, or improper installation and use.
