INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
TRIGGER OUT
The TRIG jack will provide a positive polarity 5ms trigger signal whenever a note is programmed to play in
the Rhythm part, a Fill is activated, or when playback is stopped and you manually trigger a note. This trigger
signal will range from 0 to +5v.
This output should be connected to the TRIG IN of the Transient modules, or the Trigger, Gate, or even Clock
input of most other modules, using a 3.5mm cable.
This output will tell the Transient when to play a sound. It could also be used to trigger other percussion
sound modules, trigger envelopes, S/H modules, or provide a rhythmic clock to analog sequencers.
CV 1 AND 2 OUT
The TRAX provides two CV outputs, both having a range from 0 to +5.333 volts when scaled to the 1v/Oct
standard. Each CV output has dedicated Offset and Scale trimmers accessed from the back of the unit for
calibrating these control voltage signals.
These outputs will update their value each time a new Trigger is generated, and should connect respectively to
the CV1 and CV2 inputs on the Transient using a 3.5mm cable. When used with other modules, these CV
outputs can be used to control the pitch of an oscillator, filter, amplifier or whatever you like.
CLOCK
The CLOCK jack on the TRAX is a stereo TRS jack. The Tip of the jack is for the Clock, while the Ring of
the jack is for the Reset signal. This jack can be defined as either an output or an input by setting the
appropriate jumpers on the back of the module. Turn your systems power off, before making any changes to
jumper settings.
The signal range of these inputs or outputs will be 0 to +5 volts.
When set to be outputs, the Clock will generate the fastest clock necessary for the selected Time Signature. A
Reset pulse will be generated to syncronize other devices to reset playback to the beginning of their sequence.
When set to be inputs, you must make sure to also set jumpers on the back of the module to use EXT clock.
Turn your systems power off, before making any changes to jumper settings.
This module can then be clocked with external analog clock signals. Each time a new clock signal is received
the TRAX will advance playback to the next step to play. When an external Reset signal is received, the
sequencer will start playback from the beginning.
