-Note that this control path is not capable of being calibrated 
  by the microprocessor and that there will be audible variance 
  between voices when using it. Optimization can be done by 
  using an input voltage that swings between zero and five volts 
  DC, using a single Voice in Mono mode Program. 
 
 

Ribbon Controller

 

-“Ribbon Value” (mod matrix source) covers the entire range of the 
  ribbon and goes from 0->100 across its range.  
 
  Since the ribbon is scanned from both sides simultaneously, you can 
  do 'hammer-ons', and introduce new values by playing it with two 
  fingers etc.  
 
-“Ribbon Right” and “Ribbon Left” are used to output the    
  different scanned ranges on the ribbon (bottom and top values). 
   
 

Setting up LFO, S/H, and Envelope Triggers:

 

 

LFO: 

-The LFO's Clock (Rate knob) will start upon each keystroke if  
  VOXTRG: ON VOX.  
-Turn FREERUN: -ON- and the LFO will be cycling upon each note but  
  the phase will be free-running.  
-If VOXTRG: ON TRIG and TRIG: ON and Freerun: OFF, then the Clock  
  will start upon the first received Trigger from the Mod.  
-Add Freerun and the LFO will start clocking but it's phase will be  
  self-determined.  
-Note: Any Triggers received after the Clock starts, when the LFO is – 
  not- in Freerun, will reset the LFO's phase to the position  
  determined by the Phase parameter.  
 
-To have an LFO in Freerun and always have it modulating--Trig: Off,  
    VOXTRG: ON VOX, FREERUN: -ON-.  
-To start the LFO clocking upon a Trigger--Trig: On, VOXTRG: ON TRG,  
   FREERUN: -ON- or -OFF-.  
-To start the LFO upon each keystrike beginning at the same phase  
   point: Trig: Off, VOXTRG: ON VOX, FREERUN: -OFF-.  
 

SAMPLE AND HOLD:  

-As with the LFO, a Trigger can either start the Clock (Rate knob) and  
   subsequent Triggers reset it's cycle, or have the Clock off and use  
   Trig to initiate single samplings of the S/H Input Source.  
-To have the S/H Clock start upon each keystrike--Trig: Off, TRGSMP:  
   Off, VOXTRG: -ON-.  
-To have the S/H Clock start upon a Trigger and reset it's Clock cycle
