Adding More Sounds:

While using the RENE to sequence the playback of GENE’s may result in some really amazing loops, that’s just the tip of the

iceberg! Try migrating to RENE’s X-Gate and Y-Gate pages to Program two Gates (i.e. X-Gate and Y-Gate Outputs) that fire as the 

sequence moves: perfect for creating or Triggering other sounds from within your modular. With X-Gate set as it is below, you 

should hear the DPO on the downbeat of “1” and “3” of each bar in the sequence. With Y-Gate set as below, you should hear the 

EP on the downbeat of “2” and “3” of each bar in the sequence. Adjust X and Y-Gate settings to taste.

If you haven’t moved the Vari-Speed Panel Control from where it was set when you originally recorded, you may easily

re-record a new loop by unpatching from the PHONOGENE’s Play and SLIDE CV Inputs, rotating the Sound On Sound Panel

Control back to LIVE. Once the new loop is recorded, re-patch the cables to the Play and SLIDE CV Inputs to build where you left

off. As before, <HOLD> your finger at the LOCATION 0 Touch Plate until the loop restarts to match the phasing of the sequence.
