E. The Output Section
The Little Phatty has a single monophonic audio output. The level of the audio output
is adjusted by the Volume Control. An On/Off switch allows you to turn off the output
signal while keeping the Headphone signal active.
Section Controls:
Volume:
VOLUME
is the main volume control. Rotating the control fully clockwise produces the maximum output.
Rotating the control fully counterclockwise silences the Little Phatty. The VOLUME control setting is not
stored with the preset.
Output On/Off:
The
OUTPUT ON/OFF
switch controls the audio that appears at the audio output jack. This switch has no
effect on the Headphone jack. This arrangement allows you to monitor and adjust the sound of the LP using
headphones, while silencing the signal at the Output jack. You can also use the
OUTPUT ON/OFF
switch
to turn off the output if you are using the LP as a controller and wish to control external gear without hear-
ing the LP. The output is ON when the switch is lit..
Headphone Jack:
The
HEADPHONE
jack is a 1⁄4” TRS headphone output for use with standard headphones. The Volume
control adjusts the level at this jack.
Additional CV control:
The
VOLUME
jack on the side panel is a CV input for external control of the
Output level
.
The jack accepts
a positive control voltage from 0 to 5 Volts, or an expression pedal like the Moog EP-2. A voltage of 0 volts
silences the LP, and a voltage of 5 volts corresponds to the output level set by the
VOLUME
control knob.
PERFORMANCE TIP:
The headphone volume can be scaled using the System Utilities
‘HP Volume’ menu (see page 44) in order to match the sensitivity of your headphones
and your desired Output Volume setting.
