B - The ACO section

PITCH CV out

 – A 1V/oct pitch CV out. 25Hz=0V, 6.4kHz=8V

ENV CV out

 – An envelope CV output with

a decay factor of 50ms. The ENV CV signal 

will always be affected by the ENV AMT knob.

WAVE

 – A Mix knob between square wave (fully counter-clockwise) and a 

saw wave (fully clockwise).

OCTAVE

  –  Can  shift  the  oscillator’s  sound  output  from  -2  octaves  in  its 

minimum position to +2 octaves at its maximum position. The pitch CV 

out will not be affected by these shifts.

HARMONY –

 Can shift the semitones by -7 in its minimum position to +5 

in  its  maximum  position  according  to  a  just  intonation  scale.  Just 

intonation  scales  are  slightly  different  than  western  scales  especially  in 

certain notes. See table on page 9 to see an exact comparison between 
our just intonation scale and the familiar western equal-tempered scale.

OCTAVE CV in –

 Patch any CV source here to shift the octave just like the 

knob does. The CV value will be mixed with the knob’s position.

HARM CV in –

 Patch any CV source here to shift the harmony just like the 

HARMONY knob does. The CV will be mixed with the knob’s position.

L:gate R:trig CV out

 – 

A  stereo  minijack  output  which  plays  gate  CV  on  the 

left  channel  and  trigger  CV  (3.5V  15ms)  on  the  right 
channel.
