Presets
A preset consists of the following:
•
the preset name
•
the internal clock tempo
•
for every output:
•
the direct output levels
•
the LFO state
•
the smoothing amount
•
for every MIDI/CV converter:
•
the arpeggiator state
•
the portamento rate
•
the Euclidean pattern generator states
In general most of these can be controlled via MIDI CCs, as defined in the Mappings.
Name
The preset name is 16 characters long.
Internal clock tempo
This is the tempo of the internal clock, set directly or via tap-tempo.
Direct output levels
'Direct' outputs levels is our term for when a MIDI controller directly controls an output e.g. the
controller goes from 0-127 and the output goes from 0-10V.
The direct level is a 14 bit quantity – see above. When edited from the menu, a 'coarse' value is
shown as well as the actual value. This makes it easier to make large changes.
LFOs
Each output has an LFO, defined by the parameters below. The LFOs are added to any other CV
being generated at a particular output. In the absence of a MIDI/CV converter, clock etc. this means
the LFO waveforms are centred around the 'direct level' of the output. So, if the voltage range of an
output is ±5V, to get an LFO centred on 0V, you would need to set the direct level to 8192 (mid-
range) as well as set the LFO amplitudes. Note you needn't map a MIDI controller to set the direct
level – you can just edit it via the menus, and if convenient save that as a preset.
The speed of each LFO can be set to a value in Hz, or it can be locked to the current tempo. Which
is used depends on the last setting made; setting the 'Speed' switches the LFO into its Hz-based
mode, whereas setting the 'Tempo Base' or 'Tempo Mult' switches the LFO into its tempo-synced
mode.
