Tips & Tricks

In addition to classical modulations like LFOs or envelopes, the CV inputs could
also be fed with audio signals. The resulting modulation can be very interesting
much like - but not strictly identical to - ring modulation.

A typical use for anti-parallel mode would be panning effects by feeding a LFO
signal into the left linear CV input.

Try to modulate the

Colour

parameter with a sample & hold or envelope signal

to come up with some fundamental groovy patches.
Also the possibility to modulate the

Colour

in stereo setups with different

amounts gives you some nice filter flavours.

Troubleshooting

8.1

Modules Power Fail

Check the orientation of the pin headers on your modules

Check if the total power consumption of your modules does not exceed
the specifications of your case/frame power supply
