Using  the  analogue  trigger-inputs  GATE, 
SWITCH and AUDIO

As  an  alternative  to  playing  KICK  LANCET  via  MIDI,  the  unit  can  also  be  triggered  by  various 
analogue signals. There are three options.

GATE

This jack allows triggering KICK LANCET using a 5 volts gate signal with positive slope. A compatible 
trigger  signal  is  generated  by  multiple  analogue  sequencers,  modular  systems  and  analogue 
synthesizers. Beyond that, KICK LANCET has the ability to interpret different voltages of a trigger 
signal as dynamics.

The function of the 

GATE

 jack can be specified by MIDI control command #84. You need to send a 

corresponding value (0, 1, 2 or 3) on the set MIDI-channel to KICK LANCET:

CC# 84 Value

Description

0

standard 5V (factory default)

 

An incoming voltage of approx. 0.5 volts will trigger KICK LANCET at a 

fixed volume.

1

standard 5V + accent

 

A voltage between approx. 0.5 and 5 volts will trigger KICK LANCET at a 

fixed volume. Voltages between 5 and 10 volts will trigger a second, fixed 

accent volume.

2

standard 5V + dynamic

 

A voltage between approx. 0.5 and 5 volts will trigger KICK LANCET at a 

fixed volume. Higher voltages (5-10 volts) are interpreted dynamically. At 

10 volts, the full volume will be reached.

3

dynamic

 

KICK LANCET will be dynamically triggered, depending on the trigger 

voltages, ranging between 0.5 and 10 volts.
