Patch Tutorial

Put INT/EXT switch into the INT position. Put FST/SLW switch into the SLW 
position.

Set PAT knob fully CCW. Set le CNT fully CW.

Connect the le OUT and END to two gateble modules such as an envelope or 
Basimilus Iteritas. 

Hit the le HIT switch. A long burst will be generated which will blink the orange 
LED and trigger the attached device. At the end of the burst the red LED will blink 
and any device attached to the end out will trigger.

Adjusting the TMP knob while hitting HIT will change the burst speed. e tempo 
can be controlled by CV (CLK IN). Send an envelope or LFO to modulate the 
burst rate. e tempo range can be changed with the FST/SLW switch. It has three 
positions each is half tempo of the position above. e CNT knob/jack controls 
the number of gates in the burst. e PAT knob/jack controls the pattern of the 
burst.

Connect an external trigger source to the HIT jack to trigger the burst externally.

Hitting the CHK switch or sending a trigger to the CHK jack will terminate the 
burst.

To use an external clock  ip the clock switch to EXT and send a clock into the IN-
LFO. Everything will work the same except it will use the external clock for output 
timing. In this mode the DIV knob acts as an adjustable divider to the clock input. 
To match the external clock without division put DIV in the fully CCW position.
