Tips & Tricks 

9

Single Shot: 

Patch any one of the 3 tuned voltage outputs to RUN Input. Set all pots in the corresponding row to full CW. Sequence should 

play through all stages.  Now set the pot at the stage where you want the sequence to stop, Full CCW.  BRAINS counts to this 

stage and stops.  Touching any stage other than the stage where the sequence is stopped, runs the sequence until the stop stage 

is reached.

 

Knight Rider 

KIT Style sequencing: with sequence running, patch the Gate Output from Stage 8 to the Trigger Input of MATHS CH. 4. Take EOC 

Output from MATHS, patch to BRAINS Direction Input.  Set MATHS CH. 4 Rise to 12:00, FALL to Full CW and Response to Linear. 

Patch Gate Output from Stage 1 to MATHS CH. 4 BOTH Control Input. Sequence should travel back and forth like KIT car from 

Knight Rider.  

Touch Controlled Pattern Length: 

With sequence running, patch the Gate Output from Stage 8, to BRAINS Reset Input.  Touch the plate of the stage that is to be the 

start of the sequence.  The sequence now runs to stage 8 and returns to last touched stage, effectively giving you touch control of 

sequence length. 

Touch Controlled JUMP:

With a sequence running, patch the Gate Output from any of the middle Stages of PRESSURE POINTS (3, 4, 5, 6), to BRAINS Reset 

Input.  Touch the plate of the stage AFTER the one with Gate applied to Reset Input. Watch sequencer jump over stage.  Combine 

multiple stages to Reset for longer jumps or multi-jumps.  

Gate Output:

With BRAINS attached, exactly one Gate Output is high at any given time: the Gate Output for the currently selected Stage.  This 

makes BRAINS more useful as a patch-programmable sequencer, but also because of this, PRESSURE POINTS Common Gate 

Output is no longer found on the rightmost stage Gate Output (it would be high at all times).  Common Touch Gate output is now 

found on T-Gate output of BRAINS.  To achieve a Gate for each pulse of the clock, Mult the Clock instead of using PRESSURE 

POINTS Gate Outputs.

Voltage Controlled Direction:

Make individual stage selection impossible by patching a dummy cable to the T-CLK input.  This can be useful if you would like to 

use the Pressure and/or T-Gate Outputs without interrupting a sequence.  For touch-controlled direction change, try also 

patching T-Gate to the Direction input with this dummy cable still in place. 

Combined Output:

To achieve the Combined Output from PRESSURE POINTS, patch the BRAINS T-Gate Output (for touch-activiated Gates from every 

stage) or Mult the clock signal (for sequencer Gate from every stage).

OR Logic:

Gates are set up as a OR Logic and thus, may be combined with a passive multiple or stackable cables.
