Low Pass Gates reduce level and cuto
simultaneously, resulting in the signal losing high
frequency content as it gets quieter.
Frequency Range
Press and hold the Model button (10) and use the
Harmonics control (5) to set the range of the
Frequency control (13). The number of lit LEDs
corresponds to the range. 1 LED represents C0
+/- 7 semitones, 2 LEDs C1 +/- 7 semitones until
8 LEDs represents C7 +/- 7 semitones. When all
LEDs are lit then the Frequency control has an
eight octave range covering C0 to C8.
Note 1: for BX7 mode, it is possible to send a DX7
Sysex le using USB, the Sysex will overwrite the
presets present in BRAINSmemory.
Note 2: BX7 and TD3 are not oscillators but
complete synthesizer engines, they are enveloped
hence needs to be triggered using TRIG input.
Note 3: Model input only controls the red/green
engines.
Note 4: Audio Scope input is via V/Oct socket.

Low Pass Gate and Envelope
To adjust the Low Pass Gate press and hold the
Bank button (3) and use the Timbre control to
adjust its response from being a VCA when fully
clockwise to being a true low pass gate when fully
counter-clockwise or the Morph control (12) to
adjust its ring time and increase the decay of the
internal envelope. The settings are shown by the
number of yellow LEDs lit, from 1 – 4.
