connect a cable from gate
out to for example the
sequencer 'clock' input or
the envelope 'trig' input of
the po modular 400.
this is a dual output using
both channels (tip and ring)
of a stereo plug. using a
mono cable is ok, but will
only make use of the tip
signal.
tip (left / white).
gate (0 or +5V) note on / off
output for analog
synthesizers. this output is
controlled by notes played
or sequenced on the
module track of OP-Z. the
output is high (+5V) when a
note is played, and low (0V)
when no note is played.
ring (red / right).
cv 3 (-5 to +5V) is same as
cv 2, but using the blue dial
on OP-Z.
in
this input has two functions, selectable by the switch directly below.
MIDI
midi input for controlling
OP-Z. the input uses the
standard midi 3.5 mm
connector pinout (tip =
source, ring = sink). a stereo
cable must be used.
note that it is not
compatible with some
equipment which uses non-
standard reverse pinout. an
midi cables is included. refer
to the OP-Z manual for
details on midi control.
TRIG
trigger input for OP-Z
sequencer (0 to 10V). this
input is used to single-step
tracks in the OP-Z
sequencer. to arm a track
for single stepping, set the
track length multiplier to 0.
hold track and shift and
press zero.
to single-step armed tracks,
input a pulse of 5-10V on
the jack. the 'gate' or 'trig'
output from many synths or
drum machines will work
fine. the input uses only the
tip of the connector, so a
mono cable will work here.
out
this output has three functions, selectable by the switch directly below.
MIDI
midi output from OP-Z is
same as for midi in, but out.
it will output midi data from
all tracks of OP-Z. please
refer to OP-Z manual for
TRIG
trigger output (0 or +5V).
this output emits a short
pulse suitable for triggering
drum synths, arpeggiators,
gate inputs, etc. it uses the
to make any a step output a
trig pulse:
select any audio track
•
press and hold shift
•
select step(s) 1-16
•
PO
for pocket operators and
compatible equipment, set
the switch to PO on the
oplab module.
