3. The Rear Panel
The RZ-i rear panel looks like this:
Fig 3-1: The QASIC RZ-i Rear Panel
Again things here are pretty much straightforward. Starting at the top left of the panel,
we see the following:
•
Instrument Outputs:
There are 10 monophonic audio outputs, for either
individual sounds or sound groups. The assignments of the sounds on these outputs
match with the ones on the level faders at the front panel. Once you connect a
cable to an instrument output, the sounds to which that output is assigned, will
be muted from the main mix.
Note, that the faders at the front control the amplitude of the drum sounds even
when they are sent through their dedicated outputs.
•
Main Audio Outputs:
At the right of the device, you can find the Main Audio
Outputs, where all sounds that do not pass through their dedicated outputs, are
mixed and sent. Right under the Main Output audio jacks, there is a CV input for
modulating the entire amplitude of the device level.
•
Level CV Modulation Inputs:
Instrument Outputs have their own modulation CV
inputs for controlling their output amplitude too.
•
Gate Outs:
RZ-i can be used to trigger other sequencers and / or drum machines.
Gate outputs will do this job. By connecting a CV cable from the Gate Out of a
sound in RZ-i to the Gate In of an another device, you can trigger that device's
sound whenever you play the sound of the Gate Out on RZ-i.
•
Gate Ins:
Consequently you can hav other devices triggering the sounds of th RZ-i.
