TIPS & Tricks:

-The Top row of Tuned Voltages range 0 to +8V, and may therefore be used to generate gate signals where full CW is Gate ON and  

 

full CCW is Gate OFF. 

-Process the Pressure Control Signal with a slew limiter and attenuator on Channels 1 or 4 of MATHS to  

 

achieve larger than life modulations.  

-Achieve a "Latched," "Toggled" or "Switching" control signal, use two stages of Pressure Points, where one 

 

has a Tuned Voltage set to 0V (toggled OFF), and the other has a Tuned Voltage set to the desired  

 

ON state (+8V, or Full CW, for example). Touch one stage to turn ON, and the other to turn OFF.  

-Use for Preset Storage where you have 4 presets of 3 variables in a patch, variables being set by Tuned 

 

Voltages X, Y & Z. Additional variation is Preset by applying the independent Press and/ or Gate 

 

signals from each stage to different patch points. If the Gate is not need to initiate an event, apply to a 

 

patch point via an Attenuator & use as a touch controlled momentary modulation. 

-All Tuned Voltage and Press CV outs will drive a passive 4-way mult with no loading. 

-All Gate OUTs may be stacked to one Gate IN for Gate mixing. 

Patch Examples:

 

Tactile Keyboard

Patch Tuned Output Row Y or Z to 1v/Oct input on VCO. Patch VCO output to LPG or VCA input. Patch Common Gate OUT to 

MATHS Ch1 or 4 input, or Gate input on ADSR envelope generator. Patch envelope out to control input on LPG/VCA.  Tune knobs 

in voltage row to notes of your choice. 

Optional: Skip envelope generator and/or VCA by patching Common Gate OUT directly to the Strike input on an Optomix, DPO  

 

or MMG.

Optional: Use common Pressure OUT or individual Pressure outs to control timbre, such as the cutoff frequency of a filter in series  

 

with the VCO, or the Fold input on a DPO.

 

 

The New Bongo

Set up a VCO for two-operator FM by applying a SINE wave to its linear FM input, and patch it to the input of an Optomix. Patch 

Pressure Points Common Gate OUT to the Optomix Strike Input, and Gate OUT 3 to the DAMP input. Strike the “Bongo” with 

Touchplate 4 and “dampen” it during or after striking with touchplate 3. Use the DAMP input attenuator to set the amount of 

damping.

Optional: use one or more of the Pressure outputs to the Control and/or DAMP input on the Optomix for more fine control.

Optional: use Gate or Pressure Outs 1 and 2 to dampen or thin out the sound in other ways, such as shaping the DPO Final out 

from a Sine to a Spike, morphing the MODE on the MMG from low-pass to high-pass, or inverting the Gate Out with a channel of 

MATHS and sending it to the DPO’s FOLD input to decrease harmonic content.
