LFO 1/2

Level modulation depth controlled by lfo 1 / 2

Pan

Panorama setting of the VCA Left / Right

Vel

Keyboard / Step Velocity depth to VCA

Step

Routes the output of the step sequencer to VCO 1 / 2

 

LFO 1

Type

Waveform of the LFO, Sine, saw, ramp, triange or pulse wave

Rate

Speed of the LFO

Delay

Delay (fade in) of the LFO at key trigger

Release

Release time of the LFO after key release

 

LFO 2

Type

Waveform of the LFO, Sine, saw, ramp, triange or pulse wave

Rate

Speed of the LFO

Sync

Synchronizes the speed of LFO 2 to LFO 1

 

EG 1 / 2

ADSR

Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release settings for the level envelope

 

Bend

 

Bend range for the pitch bend controller ( 0 – 12 semitones)

 

Porta

 

Portamento time (legato only)

 

MOD

Rate

Modulation speed for the modulation wheel

 

Ring

On / Off

Ring modulator on /off switch

Pitch

Sets the pitch of the modulation signal

 

Delay

Level

Send (input) level for the delay

Mono / dual

Mono or Dual delay times (Left / Right) In mono mode Left rotary sets delay time for left and right)

Left

Left delay time

Right

Right delay time

Feedback

Sets the amount of feedback

 

Flanger

On / Off

Flanger on / off switch

Rate

Speed of the flanger effect

Depth

Depth of the flanger effect

 

Step sequencer

Steps +/-

Sets the number of steps 1-8

Divide

Divides the incoming tempo pulse (host) changing the step rate

Run**

Starts / stops the step sequencer

Key

When active the sequencer acts as an Arpeggiator. It starts running when a key is pressed and stops when it is released. The sequencer resets at key release.

Reset

Resets the sequencer to step 1

2ND row

Determines the function of the 2nd row of  knobs. Pitch osc 2 / Filter vcf 1 + 2

Pitch knobs 1-8

Sets the pitch for each of the 8 steps

Level faders

Sets the level for each of  the 8 steps

Pitch knobs (2ND row)

Sets the pitch or filter frequency for each of the 8 steps (depending on the position of the 2ND row selector)

 

MIDI

Channel

Midi output channel

Step

Routes the output of the stepsequencer (1st row only + velocity) to the midi output. *When step selector is set to OFF then the MIDI input is forwarded directly to the output (MIDI Thru)

 

**NOTE: Known issue

Sometimes the sequencer stops running spontaneously. It appears to be related to the release setting

Of the ADSR’s. When you experience this problem try experimenting with the release setting. I am

currently working on a solution…
