can  be  controlled  like  a  two  voice  polyphonic  module.  Both  oscillator 
swarms have independent outputs. That allows for processing both audio 
signals independently. In conjunction with our RT-451 Dual Filter Module, 
you have independent multimode filters for both outputs.

1V/Oct-Input and Scale-knob

This jack accepts the keyboard voltage in Volt/Octave. The corresponding 
parameter  knob  for  setting  the  scale  quantize  function  is  directly  there 
above. In the middle of the range, the quantization grid is switched off and 
the  pitch  control  is  infinitely  variable.  To  the  right,  you  can  select  scales 
that have a major character and to the left you will find minor scales. Here 
is a list of all available Scales:

-7: PentatonicMinor

-6: BluesMinor

-5: GipsyMinor

-4: MelodicMinor

-3: HarmonicMinor

-2: NatureMinor

-1: Dorian

-0: Not quantized/default (mid position)

+1: Chromatic

+2: DiatonicMajor

+3: Lydian

+4: Mixolydian

+5: Hexatonic

+6: BluesMajor

+7: PentatonicMajor

With the Tune control of Oscillator 1, one can transpose the scales 

into other keys.

FM-02 and Depth 

You  can  probably  imagine  this  -  this  is  about  the  external  or  internal 
frequency modulation of Oscillator 2. 


Out1 and Out2 and Mix-knob

These  are  the  two  oscillator  outputs.  The  Mix  control  above  the  jacks 
allows  you  to  change  the  output  routing  of  the  oscillators.  In  the  center 
position of the MIX controller, the oscillator 1 signal passes to output 1 and 
the oscillator 2 signal to output 2.
Turning  the  control  to  the  left,  the  oscillator  2  signal  is  added  to  the 
oscillator 1 signal (OUT1). Oscillator 2, however, output 2 is still obtained. 
To the right of the control path, the output behaves accordingly, except that 
the  output  signal  from  oscillator  1  is  added  to  the  signal  of  oscillator  2. 
Oscillator 1 continues to appear at output 1 in this setting.
