A word about your sound sources:
Every effect reacts differently to the source sound, this can result in some
effects sounding very dull or strange if the incoming sound is not ideal for
their use.
Later sections of this user manual have detailed description of each effect
and the source material that will work with it best. Obviously, these are just
recommendations and in the spirit of the modular synthesizer going the
‘wrong’ way can often lead you to sounds you have never heard before.

FAQ:
Question:
Are the delays on the FX modules syncable to external clock?
Answer: No, the variable clock rate of the DSP chip prevents clock sync
programs from syncing precisely.
Question: Is my last selected program saved after I turn off my modular?
Answer: Yes it is.
Question: What is the difference between Time and Fidelity CV?
Answer: The Fidelity control changes the speed of the digital processing
sample rate. This can have a similar effect to changing the Time control of
delays but the important difference is that Fidelity also changes the entire
processing including filter cutoffs, LFO speeds, etc. Lowering Fidelity will
increase the delay time of a delay but also lower the cutoff of a low pass
filter and slow down an LFO modulating the delay line. The Time control
will only change the delay time of that same delay.
