Monophonic Mode
Monophonic mode works great when using the Microvolt 3900 as a single voice monosynth. Monophonic mode
uses a last note played with retrigger keyboard response to determine note priority. That means the last note
played sounds when multiple notes are active and the gate retriggers with every new note played.
Monophonic mode outputs a single CV and gate signal based on the active midi note. The midi module features
up to 3 note recall when multiple keys are pressed at once.
Eurorack standard 1 volt per octave scaled CV is output from the pitch jack(104). The gate output jack(106)
outputs a high signal (+5v) when a key is pressed. The gate output jack outputs a low signal (0v) when all the
keys are released.
Midi Monophonic Mode Patching Notes
•
The pitch output jack(104) can be patched into the function generator modulation input(132) while the
function generator is in cycle mode to create a voltage controlled modulation source. The output of the
function generator can be used audio rate FM of the voltage controlled oscillator or binary filter.

The hold button is a perfect way to create a drone by opening up the dynamic VCA while designing new
sounds or exploring various sections of the Microvolt 3900.
