Audio Output Left Channel
The AC out L is the left channel mix output to feed sample audio mixed with input audio to an external amp, filter,
mixer etc. The maximum output level is +/- 5V (10Vp-p) and is capacitively coupled to respond to frequencies as low
as 20 Hz. Both audio from the sampler and audio from AC in L are passed through the EQ before mixing.
If the Reflex LiveLoop is used with the expander module, this output can become the FX channel mono output.

Left Channel Audio Feedback Send
The Left Channel (FX) has the added benefit of a second output for feedback. This output level is controlled by
the Feedback knob (8). If this jack is plugged in and patched to a separate module the feedback will still pass
(unless a jack is in the FB Return) back to sampler. This output can be used as a monitor (headphones during play)
(6)
Left Channel Audio Feedback Return
The Feedback Return feeds back into the left channel (FX) to be recorded back into sampler. Plugging into this
jack bypasses the internal Left channel feedback path.
This input can only be heard once the sample is played back, or during an echo (after echo delay of course) as it
isn't directly fed to any output. It can be used as a secondary Record input and will be mixed 1:1 with AC in L. The
maximum input level is 10Vp-p (i.e. +/-5V) without distortion or clipping.
(7)
Blend
This stereo control knob sets the balance between incoming audio on AC in L & R and sampler output L & R. It can
be used to quickly cut incoming audio from the output. The Blend level does not affect the sample recording level
so can be left turned fully clockwise if input audio isn't to be heard. Fully anti-clockwise fades up the input to the
output jacks, muting the sampler output entirely. Centered, the blend between sampler and input will be 50/50.
Blend is CV controllable with the EQ attenuvertor CV input.
(8)
Feedback
This control knob sets the feedback (stereo) levels from output back to sampler input. Maximum, a software limit
ensures a perfect dB gain level for nearly identical sample amplitude as compared to the original recorded audio
signal. This is an important feature for Layering and Echo with minimal amplitude degradation, but can be
overdriven or band muted if desired using the EQ. ( See sect. VIII.A. on pg.40 )
*Note: Using an inserted filter/FX/signal conditioner across the Left Channel feedback may cause unpredictable
gain behavior in Echo and Layering modes.

PlayFX Mode Knobs
These knobs can be configured (10) to control FX playback 3 different ways:
Start / End:
The upper knob adjusts Start Point of sample being played, while the lower knob sets the
end/loop point of the sample to create a "Mini-Loop" .
If start Pos is higher than End, then will play in reverse. ( See sect.V.A. on pg.26 )
G-Move / Size:
The upper knob controls Granulizer Movement forward/reverse speed, while the lower knob
controls the Grain Size. Can move inside of a Mini Loop /Slice ( See sect.V.C. on pg.27 )
Position / Size:
The upper knob selects the Position in a sample proportionately to create a "Mini-Loop" while
the lower knob adjusts the size of the Mini Loop. ( See sect. V.B. on pg.27 )
(10)
Play Mode Selector
This Button selects the function of the Play Mode knobs (9), and also sets the play mode. The Blue LED signifies
G-Move mode, while the two reds are Start/End and Position/Size. ( See sect. V. on pg.26)
(11)
Rate / Slice Select
This knob controls Playback sample rate from -4.9 octaves to +4.9 octaves for any playback (play Button), Slice, or
even Echo (Record & Play). If Rate CV input is present, then the Rate knob becomes an offset for that jack.
*This Rate is also the RECORD Sample Rate, so for maximum quality, set to SW detent at center.
If Slice Select (19) is toggled on, this knob will select the first 16 slices via the LED circle around the knob,
regardless of Rate CV input, which will "remember" Rate setting. ( See sect. VI. B. on pg. 32 )
This knob is also used for Advanced Settings. ( See sect. IX.A. on pg.44)
(12)
Sample Rate CV
This CV input (+/-5V nominal) controls the Sample Rate as does the Rate Knob to +/- 5 octaves over the
unattenuated nominal voltage range. When jacked in, the Attenuvertor knob controls the gain (-5V to +5V) and the
Rate knob controls the offset (-5 octaves to + 5 octaves). Voltages /- 5V will just min/max Sample Rate.
*Also works in Echo Mode, but only in lower range (less than octave 0). Infinite Echo has full range +/- 5 octaves.
