Don’t worry if you don’t understand all this diagram at the moment – if you did you
wouldn’t need to do course!
Let’s focus on some highlights:
You can clearly see that the oscillators and the filter are separate. To use both
together you have to connect them using a patch leads. These plug in to the 2mm
banana sockets on the board. The patch sockets are shown by the small purple
circles. The advantage of this modular approach is that you can mix and match both
the built-in modules and external modules in all kinds of ways. Patch sockets connect
audio signals and control voltages. Control voltage inputs modify the behaviour of the
circuit.
The two oscillators share some common modules for processing MIDI events and also
for the gate control that turns the oscillator outputs on or off. We’ll talk more about
these aspects later.
The MIDI In is the large 5 pin DIN socket on the bottom of the board.
You can pick up the output from the filter either from the 3.5mm stereo jack on the
bottom of the board or the VCF Out patch socket on the top. Don’t try and connect
headphones or earbuds directly to the output. The LushOne doesn’t contain an
amplifier and doesn’t have enough power to drive these directly.
