tELHARMONIC Panel Controls (Cont’d)

7.    TONIC Panel Control: adjusts the pitch of all Voices across 6 octaves. 

8.    TONIC CV IN: unity, 1V/ Octave pitch control INput.  Not quantized.  Range 0V to 6V.

9.    INTERVAL Panel Control: sets the pitch spacing of the three Harmonic and Phase Mod Voices to form  

 

Triads (with two Inversions), Fifths, Unison, or Octave relationships.  Continuously variable, aside  

 

from the two Inversions for Triads. 

10.  INTERVAL CV Attenuator: bi-polar attenuator for INTERVAL CV INput. 

11.  INTERVAL CV IN: control signal INput for INTERVAL.  Range 0V to 5V.

12.  COLOR STAFF: Toward the center of the tELHARMONIC there is a visual indicator that will change color 

 

to display the state of INTERVAL and DEGREE, while pulsing to show the frequency of the TONIC.

13.  DEGREE Panel Control: quantized note selection, relative to the pitch as defined by TONIC.  Also deter

 

mines sonority of the TRIAD where applicable.  

14.  DEGREE CV Attenuator: bi-polar attenuator for DEGREE CV INput.

15.  DEGREE CV IN: control signal INput for DEGREE.  Quantized parameter.  Range +/- 2V.

16.  D-Gate IN: Gate INput for activation of DEGREE parameter.  Normalled HIGH so that with nothing 

 

patched, DEGREE is always active.  Requires a Clock/Gate signal of at least 5V and width of at least 

 10ms.
