From the project
Joystick は、6HPサイズの片手操作に特化したマニュアルCV/Gate生成モジュールです。 XY入力端子に外部CVを接続することで、アッテネーターやインバーターとしても利用可能です。 CVレンジとオフセットはX軸・Y軸ごとに個別に調整でき、最大±10Vの範囲で任意のCVを生成できます。 スティックを押し込むと、+10VのGate信号が出力されます。

Joystick is a 6HP manual CV/Gate generator module designed for one-handed operation. By connecting external CV signals to the X and Y inputs, it can also function as an attenuator or inverter. Each axis (X and Y) features independent control over CV range and offset, allowing for custom voltage outputs up to ±10V. Pressing the joystick down outputs a +10V Gate signal.
