Controllers & LEDs
[A]
FSR
- The surface of the force sensing
resistor is both touch and pressure
sensitive.
Touching it sends a +5V signal to the
GATE
[2]
output for as long as your
finger sits on the pad.
Pressing it sends a voltage to the
CV
Out
[1]
, whose value corresponds with
the amount of pressure you apply. At
maximum pressure, +5V volts is sent to
the
CV Out
[1]
jack.
The pad is very sensitive and offers a
great deal of nuanced, real-time control.
[B]
CV LED
- This LED begins to glow when the
FSR
[A]
is being touched, and gets brighter as
more pressure (and thus more voltage) is being sent to the
CV Out
[1]
jack.
[C]
GATE LED
- This LED lights when the
FSR
[A]
is being touched and a +5V gate signal is being
sent out the
GATE
[2]
jack.
Inputs & Outputs
[1]
CV out
- This jack outputs a voltage that corresponds to the pressure with which you press on
the
FSR
[A]
. Pressing very lightly sends voltages near 0V. Maximum pressure outputs +5V.
[2]
GATE out
- This jack outputs +5V gate signal for as long as the
FSR
[A]
is touched, returning to
0V when you lift your finger off the pad.
