Calibration
There is only one trimmer to set up and it's pretty easy to do. Set the 'frequency' and 'emphasis'
pots to their maximum value and the 'mod depth' and 'LFO rate' to the minimum values. Now
turn the trimmer to its fully clockwise position. Power the unit up and input a sawtooth
waveform into the input. Any frequency will do, but a low to medium note is best. Listen to
the output through your normal listening set up.
Now slowly turn the trimmer in anti-clockwise direction. The moment the sound alters in
texture stop turning. You may have to go back a little bit and do it again until you get it right.
It’ll probably end up being somewhere around its half way point. What you are doing is setting
the top frequency of the FREQUENCY pot. It's not terribly important that you set this
accurately, so don’t worry about it if you don’t get it absolutely right.
Final Comments
I hope you enjoy using the Oakley Equinoxe phaser module.
If you have any problems with the module, an excellent source of support is the Oakley Sound
Forum at Muffwiggler.com. Paul Darlow and I are on this group, as well as many other users
and builders of Oakley modules.
If you have a comment about this user manual, or have a found a mistake in it, then please do
let me know.
Last but not least, can I say a big thank you to all of you who helped and inspired me. Thanks
especially to all those nice people on the Synth-diy, Oakley-Synths and Analogue Heaven
mailing lists and those at Muffwiggler.com.
