controlled filter (VCF) in the Resotron to create a sine-wave
synthesizer voice. In this mode, the CUTOFF knob acts as a
tune knob for the sine wave voice, providing a wide range of
tuning control. It is recommended that the toggle switch on
the right be moved to the PITCH setting when using the OS-
CILLATE function so that the sine wave will follow the notes
you play. In this setting, the GLIDE knob causes a portamento
effect, allowing the sine wave to glissando as you move between
notes. When OSCILLATE is activated, a voltage-controlled am-
plifier (VCA) that follows the loudness of your playing is turned
on at the output to prevent the Resotron from screeching out
of control. If the ENV UP or ENV DOWN modes are selected
when using the OSCILLATE function, the pitch of the sine wave
synthesizer voice will move around based on how hard you play.

Getting Started
3.1
Basic Hook Up
1. Unpack your Resotron and place it on a flat, stable surface.
2.
Make sure you are using the 18-Volt DC (negative center)
power supply that came with your Pigtronix Resotron.
3. Plug the power cord into the 18VDC jack on the back of the Re-
sotron and then plug the power adapter into an electrical socket.
The Resotron is now powered up. To turn the device off, un-
plug it from the wall or turn off the power going to the 18VDC
supply.
We recommend that you do not leave your Resotron pow-
ered up for long periods of time when it is not in use
.
4. Plug your instrument into the INPUT jack and plug your ampli-
fier into the OUTPUT jack.
