Toolbox Quick Start Guide
Before You Start
A microSD card must be inserted into toolbox
before you can get started. All presets are stored
on the microSD card. Preset changes are only
saved when you choose to save them.
Overview
Toolbox offers touchscreen control of sequencers and
function generators that provide CV and MIDI outputs
for use in controlling other modules. Toolbox by itself
does not generate any sound.
The Main screen shows a representation of each of
the different sequencer and function outputs. The
columns of the screen display are mapped to the
input and output jacks below the screen. You can
touch the individual elements on the screen in
columns 2 through 4 to access parameter screens for
each element. Each row of input and output jacks
corresponds to a row of controls on the screen.
From left to right, the columns display the following:

Note:
•
Connect the outputs of Toolbox to a module that generates sound, such as Synthbox, to hear playback. You can use
