FRONT PANEL CONTROLS

RATE (Large Dial)

 - This ad-

justs the rate of the triangle 
and square LFO.  

RATE LED

 - Indicates the 

rate of the triangle/square 
LFO.

RATE (Trimmer)

 - This ad-

justs the RATE CV amount.  
When no plug is inserted into 
the RATE jack, this controls 
the amount that the FSR 
will control the rate of the 
LFO.    With a plug inserted, 
this controls how much the 
external CV affects the LFO 
rate.

TRI/S&H/SQR

 - This switch 

selects the output wave-

AMP (Large Dial)

 - This ad-

justs the output amplitude of 
the LFO signal at the OUT jack.

AMP LED

 - Indicates the am-

plitude of the LFO OUT signal.

AMP (Trimmer)

 - This adjusts 

the AMP CV amount.  When no 
plug is inserted into the AMP 
jack, this controls the amount 
that the FSR will control the 
amplitude of the LFO.    With 
a plug inserted, this controls 
how much the external CV 
affects the LFO amplitude.

S&H

 - This is the output of 

the internal sample & hold 
circuit.    The S&H signal can 
be accessed here, even when 
other output waveforms are 

form of the HLFO.  In the center position, 
the Sample & Hold output will be routed 
through the LFO VCA and inverted.  

NOISE

 - This output provides a noise 

source.  The noise output is +5V to -5V.

SRC

 - Sample & Hold source input.  The 

internal sample and hold circuit is nor-
mally sampling the internal noise source 
when nothing in plugged into the SRC 
jack.  Plugging into SRC will disconnect 
the noise, and the external signal will be 
used as the sample source.

selected at LFO OUT.  

FSR

 - FSR Output.  Pressing on the FSR 

will generate a voltage from 0 to 5V, 
based on how much force is being used 
on the sensor pad.  

CLK

 - Sample & hold clock.  Use this input 

to clock the S&H circuit.  Incoming clocks 
should be a square wave with an ampli-
tude of at least 3Vpp.
