MODE OVERVIEW
The Variables mode takes a CV value of 0-5V and converts it to a variable <n> between 1-8.
Each new input Event increments an internal counter that loops upward from1-8. The counter
and the <n> value interact to tell each Local Mode whether to allow particular input Events to ‘pass’
to the output or whether to ‘block’ them. By varying the CV value or the Local Mode or both – many
different patterns can be created from simple input signals.
FIRST PATCH
• This mode is designed to work with most Event and CV types.
• Start with some sort of mid-tempo clock or square-wave LFO and a slow, evolving CV source.
• For each selected Local Mode – as the CV value changes – the Output pattern should also change.
INPUT TYPES
IN: GATE A1 & A2
• Any Event type e.g. clock, gate, trigger, square-wave or PWM-type LFO.
IN: GATE B/CV
• Any 0-5V CV type e.g. LFO, envelope generator or variable CV source.
CV OPTIONS
Local
• 0-5V CV at IN: GATE B/CV sets each mode’s <n> variable value of 1-8.
Global
• Event at IN: MODE SELECT/RESET resets the mode’s <n> count.
LOCAL MODE 1: <nth> Pass
CV
• 0-5V CV the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Lets every <nth> of 8 input Events pass to the output.
LOCAL MODE 2: <nth Block>
CV
• 0-5V CV sets the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Blocks every <nth> of 8 input Events.
LOCAL MODE 3: <n> Pass
CV
• 0-5V CV sets the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Lets only <n> of 8 input Events pass to the output.
LOCAL MODE 4: <n> Block
CV
• 0-5V CV sets the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Blocks all <n> of 8 input Events.
LOCAL MODE 5: <n> Pass || <nth> Block
CV
• 0-5V CV sets the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Toggles between Local Mode 3 and Local Mode 2.
LOCAL MODE 6: <n> Block || <nth> Pass
CV
• 0-5V CV sets the variable <n> to a value of: 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5 || 6 || 7 || 8.
Operation
• Toggles between Local Mode 4 and Local Mode 1.
