BRAINS is a clocked sequential binary event machine, intended to be connected to tactile controllers such 

as the PRESSURE POINTS. 

Once connected, PRESSURE POINTS provides data input to BRAINS in the form of touch-selectable Reset 

stage and Hold stage.  PRESSURE POINTS also provides the tuned voltages and Pulses per stage.  BRAINS, 

when connected to either 1 or 2 PRESSURE POINTS, drives the stage selection in a sequential fashion, at a 

rate determined by the incoming clock at Clock Input, thus forming a 4-Step or 8-Step 3-channel analog 

sequencer.  Binary control over Direction of the stage selection, RUN/Stop and Reset are provided. 

Touch-Clock Input

T-CLK is normaled high and controls whether PRESSURE POINTS stages can be selected by touch.  If T-CLK is 

low, stages can only be selected via the BRAINS inputs, and all touch selection will be ignored (Pressure and 

T-GATE outputs are still active).  Multing a narrow clock to the T-CLK input and has the effect of 

"quantizing" manual stage selection to the clocked sequence.  Using a dummy cable in T-CLK allows 

Pressure and T-GATE outputs to be totally independent of the BRAINS sequence.

Touch-Gate Output

The only output on BRAINS, producing a Gate High signal whenever the connected PRESSURE POINTS is 

touched.
