Controller Modes

Mono and Duo Controller Modes

The Touch Controller operates in 2 different modes. Mono and Duo. Select the active mode by pressing
the MONO BUTTON (5) or DUO BUTTON (7) in the CHANNEL ANIMATOR SECTION (1).

Mono Mode

In Mono mode, the Touch Controllers operates like a single, monophonic 10 Touch Plate controller. The
ALL OUTPUT SECTION (4) combines the Left and Right Touch Zones into one section. The ALL GATE
OUTPUT (19) represents the state of the active Left or Right Touch Plate. The ALL Y-AXIS OUTPUT
(22) represents the Y-Axis value of the last Left or Right Touch Plate used. The ALL CV A OUTPUT
(20) outputs the VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB A value of the active Left or Right Touch Plate. The ALL
CV B OUTPUT (21) outputs the VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB B value of the active Left or Right Touch
Plate.

The ALL GATE OUTPUT JACK(19) outputs a 6 volt, 13ms gate signal when a Touch Plate is pressed,
a sequence is advanced, or a change in the scan value is detected.

ALL CV A OUTPUT JACK(20) outputs a voltage determined by the VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB A of the
active Touch Plate. The output range of the ALL CV A OUTPUT JACK (20) in Mono Mode is 0 to 5
volts.

ALL CV B OUTPUT JACK(21) outputs a voltage determined by the VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB B of the
active Touch Plate. The output range of the ALL CV B OUTPUT JACK (21) in Mono Mode is 0 to 5
volts.

Y-AXIS OUTPUT JACK(22) outputs a voltage determined by the Y-axis touch location of the active
Touch Plate. The output range of the ALL Y-AXIS OUTPUT JACK(22) is 0 to 5 volts.

Duo Mode

In Duo mode, the response of the ALL OUTPUT SECTION (4) is more complex. Like Mono mode, the
ALL GATE OUTPUT (19) represents the state of the last touched Left or Right Touch Plate and the ALL
Y-AXIS OUTPUT (22) represents the Y-Axis value of the last Left or Right Touch Plate used. However,
in Duo mode, the ALL CV A OUTPUT (20) outputs a SUM of the active Left VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB
A and the active Right VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB A. The ALL CV B OUTPUT (21) outputs a SUM of
the active Left VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB B and active Right VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB B. Summing
the Left and Right VOLTAGE PRESET KNOBs creates interesting potential for transposition and larger
CV output voltages.

The ALL GATE OUTPUT JACK(19) outputs a 6 volt, 13ms gate signal when a Touch Plate is pressed,
a sequence is advanced, or a change in the scan value is detected.

ALL CV A OUTPUT JACK(20) outputs a voltage determined by the sum of the LEFT and RIGHT
VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB A for the active Touch Plates. The output range of the ALL CV A OUTPUT
JACK (20) in Duo Mode is 0 to 10 volts.

ALL CV B OUTPUT JACK(21) outputs a voltage determined by the sum of the LEFT and RIGHT
VOLTAGE PRESET KNOB B for the active Touch Plates. The output range of the ALL CV B OUTPUT
JACK (21) in Duo Mode is 0 to 10 volts.

Y-AXIS OUTPUT JACK(22) outputs a voltage determined by the Y-axis touch location of the active
Touch Plate. The output range of the ALL Y-AXIS OUTPUT JACK(22) is 0 to 5 volts.
