CONTOUR 1 

SLEW LIMITER/FUNCTION GENERATOR 

 

 

 

13  VOLT PER OCTAVE TRIMMER 

This trim potentiometer is used to calibrate the 
module’s pitch tracking. Since it is accessible 
from the front panel, calibration can be easily 
performed without removing the module from 
the system. Each module is individually 
calibrated during production; do not adjust this 
trimmer if not needed. 

Should you find your Contour 1 to be out of tune, 
set it to loop mode, range switch to audio, both 
slew rate sliders to about 30 %  down from the 
top positions, and both bend knobs centred. 

Make sure Contour 1 has been powered for at 
least 20 minutes at a stable ambient 
temperature. Now connect any output to a 
calibrated digital tuner. The rise slew rate CV 
input should be switched between 0 V and a 
pre4 V source, toggled automatically or 
by hand. Leave all other inputs unpatched. 

Using a dedicated trimming tool or standard 
2.5 mm flat screwdriver, adjust the trimmer until 
the interval between both states is exactly 4 
octaves.
