Controls  filter  frequency  from  an  external 
voltage  source.  Connect  to  external  LFO, 
Envelope Generator, MIDI-CV converter, etc. 
(not 1 volt / octave)

Synchronizes  other  gear  with  this  pedal’s 
LFO.    The  clock  frequency  is  equal  to  the 
PULSE rate.  Connect to CLOCK IN or SYNC IN 
on an  external analog  sequencer.    (8  volts 
square wave output)

Turns  the  sound  on/off  from  an  external 
voltage source.   Has the same effect as the 
stomp switch.  Connect to GATE OUT from an 
analog  keyboard,  sequencer,  or  MIDI-CV 
converter.  Also try connecting to an external 
LFO.

Allows  processing  external  audio  signals 
through  the  pedal’s  filter,  LFO,  and  gate.  
Inserting  a  patch  cable  mutes  the  internal 
oscillators.

For  best  results  with  guitar,  bass,  and 
microphones, use an external preamp first.

1/4” Line level audio output (-10dBu). Connect to an 
amplifier,  FX  pedal,  mixer  line  input,  recording 
device, DI box, audio interface, etc.

Powers the pedal from an AC Adapter. 
Use a Boss-type FX pedal adapter with 
9 volts DC output and center negative 
polarity (2.1mm).  

Its OK to use a daisy-chain cable with 
multiple pedals.  

The  internal  battery  is  disconnected 
when this plug is used.

The  pedal  has  internal  protection 
against damage from reverse polarity 
and over-voltage.

 require 3.5mm mono cables

Use  standard  Eurorack  synthesizer 
patch cables.  

Also OK to use 3.5mm “AUX Cable”

Use a 3.5mm-to-1/4” adapter when 
connecting  to  audio  sources  with 
1/4” line output.

** To avoid accidental damage, don’t 
connect heavy-weight cables directly 
to the 3.5mm ports.
