5. Basic Functionality
Before we jump into individual functions,
let’s take a look at Control Forge’s basic
organization.
Power Up
When power is applied to the module for
the first time, it begins in
Play Mode with
Preset 001 as the Current Preset, Sequence
001 as the Active Sequence, and the contour
stopped.
On subsequent power ups, the Preset and
Sequence that were current at power off are
restored.
Modes
The Mode button toggles the
module between the Play and
Program modes. One of the
associated LEDs light to indicate
the current mode.
As you’ve probably guessed,
Program Mode is selected to
create your desired CV contours. Select Play
Mode to play them.
NOTE:
It’s possible to switch to Program
Mode while a contour is playing and
modify settings and values while it continues
to play. This can be quite powerful in live
performance.
Presets
CV contours created in Program Mode can
be saved using the Save Preset function. A
preset contains the individual settings for the
8 segments and a variety of
Global settings
that affect the overall preset.
In Play Mode , presets are played back. Presets
can be manually loaded using the Load Preset
function, loaded as the result of a Conditional
Jump , as part of an AutoChain, or loaded by
the Preset Sequencer.
Inputs
Gate/Trigger
This input, as its name so
ably suggests, accepts
triggers and/or gates, i.e.,
a digital signal that can be
high or low. Analog signals
will be converted to high
or low at a threshold
of 1.65V. In order to be
detected, the pulse width,
either high or low, must
exceed 25 microseconds.
Depending on settings
in the
Preset Globals
menu (see Chapter 8),
signals appearing here can
either control a contour’s
start, reset, and jump to a
“release” segment, or can
be tested for a conditional
jump.
The LED in the Manual
Gate pushbutton will light
while a gate is active, either as the result of a
Gate/Trigger input signal or the Manual Gate
button being pressed.
Logic
The Logic input accepts digital logic signals
for evaluation for true/false conditional
jumps. Analog signals will be converted to
high or low at a threshold of 1.65V.
The associated Logic LED will light whenever
the Logic input is high.
CV 1 & CV 2
These inputs accept CVs in the range of -5V
to +5V. Voltages outside of that range are
clipped to the appropriate limit.
The CVs at these inputs are tested for various
conditional jump states.
