3. Modi
3.1. MANUAL MODE
After powering on your rack you'll always start in MANUAL MODE.
Moving the joystick generates CV at the X and Y output. The CV RANGE can be set (2, 5 or 10
volts) by the little black switch on the upper right of the module. On the other side you'll find the
OFFSET switch, in order to switch from unipolar to bipolar.
Pressing HOLD will freeze the current position.
Your movements are always being recorded in the background (samplerate is about 100Hz) in
order to replay short CV loops (max. ca. 3 seconds). As it's being recorded, the SAVE button is
blinking to indicate reocrding. By pushing SAVE (it will be lit permanently now) you can replay
you recorded CV and of course freeze it by pushing HOLD.
A RESET impulse resets the loop (the save button will blink again).
Pushing SAVE again will bring you back into standard manual joystick mode.
Please note: The loop memory is volatile!
3.2. MEMORY MODE
You can activate the memory mode (and sequencer) by pushing MEMORY (lit permanently). In this
mode you can use the eight buttons to save eight different joystick positions and adress them either
manually or sequentially.
- while MEMORY is lit, push SAVE in order to activate SAVE-MODE
- move your joystick to the desired position and keep it there (or push HOLD)
- select one of the eight slots (#1 is left)
- move your joystick to the next position and repeat (don't forget to push HOLD again)
- finish and exit SAVE-MODE by pushing SAVE again (unlit)
The recently saved eight values can now be adressed manually by pushing the respective button or
sequentially by either inserting a clock to the TRIGGER input or a CV to the CV-MEM input.
MEM-CV-Input:
0..+4,5v
= Step 1..8
+5v
= Trigger Sequence activ
The TRIGGER-OUT will play a short trigger whenver a step/slot is played!
This memory is non-volatile, you can power off your module and return to the exact setting.
