Pin Patch LED system 

Each circuit destination you patch up using the pins will light up. There will be a LED inside the 

jack socket of the signal destination. This can help you see where the signal you patched in has 

gone.

This is for pin patching only.

The LED brightness is wholly dependent on the source signal. If it is too low, then the LED will not 

light.

Also, it is not really about peak voltage but average voltage. So a fast moving LFO, though strong 

as a modulation signal, on average might be too weak to show the LED.

However, we are proud of being able to provide this cool feature - and believe me it wasn’t easy 

to do this in an entirely analogue set-up. (This kind of thing is super easy to do on a digital synth!)
