As per the discussion in the big "meta" malekko manual thread, this is a breakout for Richter Anti-Oscillator manual and patch ideas. Discussions not specific to the Anti-Oscillator might best be held in the meta manual thread (but don't overthink it). I'll update this post with a pointer to an assembled doc once it's in progress, status updates, etc.
Any and all input welcome and greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Panel Guide:
Anti-Oscillator Functions
Initial Frequency Fine Control: Provides fine tuning of the oscillator’s initial frequency. (1 octave range.)
Initial Frequency Coarse Control: Sets the coarse tuning of the oscillator’s initial frequency. (10Hz to 10kHz, 10 octaves.)
Exponential FM Input: In conjunction with the associated Exponential FM Input Attenuator, provides standard exponential frequency modulation (FM) of the oscillator. The Exponential FM Input is normalled to the Mayhem wave shaped output. Inserting a patch cable breaks the normalization.
Exponential FM Input Attenuator: Attenuates the signal found at the Exponential FM Input, allowing control of standard exponential FM functionality.
Linear FM Input: In conjunction with the associated Linear FM Input Attenuator, provides standard linear frequency modulation (FM) of the oscillator. This input is AC coupled allowing FM modulation to be introduced while minimizing unwanted pitch shift. The Linear FM Input is normalled to the Mayhem wave shaped output. Inserting a patch cable breaks the normalization.
Linear FM Input Attenuator: Attenuates the signal found at the Linear FM Input, allowing control of standard linear FM functionality.
1v/Octave Input: Bipolar input for oscillator pitch control using the 1v/Octave standard. Responds to a 10 octave range.
Initial Wave Control: Sets the initial waveshape to be modulated by the Wave Envelope. Morphs from a square wave to something altogether twisted.
Wave Envelope Input: In conjunction with the associated Wave Envelope Input attenuator, controls the modulation of the Anti-Oscillator’s wave folder. Wave Envelope input is normalled to the Tri wave output. Inserting a patch cable breaks the normalization. For sweeping wave transitions, try plugging in an LFO or envelope. Advancing the folder in a non-linear way can be used to great effect too. For example, sending in random voltages from the noisering or wogglebug or from a sequencer can produce interesting timbral arpeggios.
Wave Envelope Input Attenuator: Attenuates the signal found at the Wave Envelope Input, allowing for control of the wavefolder’s animations.
Signal LED: Shows the current "speed" of the oscillator. When running at audio rate, the LED simply twinkles as the oscillator runs. When running at a low rate (as an LFO), the LED shows the difference in cycle for each waveform type. Green represents positive excursion, while red represents negative excursion.
Triangle Wave Output: Triangle core wave output. (+/-5v.)
Mayhem Output: Wave-folded output. (+/-5v.)
