4. Operating the 4-Pole
4.1 Cable Connections and Powering Up
The 4-Pole’s <Audio In> is a monophonic circuit whereas the
outputs (<Out L> and <Out R>) constitute a stereophonic circuit.
In order to exploit the 4-Pole’s potential to the fullest we
recommend you connect it in stereo mode. All audio in/outputs
and the trigger input were implemented as 1/4” jacks.
Connect the <Audio In> jack to your signal source’s output and
<Out L> and <Out R> to an amp/mixing console’s input. If you
want to use a 1/4” stereo plug to access the 4-Pole’s output
signal, you must insert it into the <Out L> jack. The mono master
signal is routed to the <Out R> jack, assuming you have not
plugged a cable into the <Out L> plug.
Connect the included powerpack to the 9V socket located on the
rear panel of the device. Then plug the powerpack into a wall
socket. Your 4-Pole is now ready to roll.
4.1 Selecting Programs
Use the <Up> and <Down> keys to select programs. The display
indicates the program you have selected. Programs 1-20 are
freely programmable whereas programs 21-40 feature non-user
programmable fixed factory programs.
When you initially switch on the 4-Pole the first 20 programs are
identical to the other twenty factory programs.
4.3 Selecting an Edit level
Select any of the six different edit levels via the <Mode> key. The
diverse levels are indicated by the Mode LEDs.
You can also press and hold the <Mode> key and then select an
edit level via the <Up/Down> key. At the 6th level, the first five
Mode LEDs function as a display for the signal envelope (refer to
Chapter 6).
When you select a level, the current program number is
displayed, and is usually preceded by the letter “P”. The letter “E”
indicates that this program was edited. “C” indicates the program
is in Compare mode (refer to Section 4.7).
