Introduction
Welcome to the wonderful world of the K4815 Pattern Generator. The K4815 is a unique and flexible
way of generating notes, rhythms and modulation voltages or control changes. The user interacts
with the machine to set the patterns using an unconventional method which works well to find new
grooves and musical inspiration. It is a perfect performance tool, a source of notes for jamming, or a
way to creating voltages synchronized to a common clock. This manual will explain the features and
operation of the unit. Please check for updates to the documentation and firmware often as new
features may be added at users' request. We continually strive to advance our products for your
benefit and enjoyment.
