State Zero

Power
The synthesiser is powered by a regulated 9V DC power supply, connected
by a 2.1mm DC plug tip positive polarity. The power supply needs to be tightly
regulated and should not exceed 10V at any time. Earthing is not
recommended.
Display
An SXGA video output is available on a standard HD-15 connector. The
1024x1280 pixel image is oriented 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the
typical format, and is often described as the portrait orientation (as from the
typical landscape orientation). Connections to this socket should only be
made when the power is switched off at the wall for both State Zero and the
monitor.
Audio
The stereo inputs and outputs are via balanced
! ” TRS plugs. Both inputs
and outputs are DC coupled to allow interfacing with CV signals to/from
modular synthesisers.
Midi
Midi input and output is on standard 5 pin 180 degree DIN connectors. The
synthesiser only responds to messages on channel 1.
Patchfield
The patch points of the synthesiser are connected with 3.5mm TS plugs. They
do not provide or accept analog signals and should not be patched to or from
any other piece of equipment. Within their field, connecting outputs together
will cause no damage but may patch to unpredictable locations. Also each
output has infinite fanout and can be connected to as many inputs as needed
without buffering.
