Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of an Expert Sleepers disting mk4. Please read this user manual
before operating your new module.
Installation
House the module in a Eurorack case of your choosing. The power connector is Doepfer standard. If
using the power cable supplied with the module, the red edge of the cable is nearest the bottom of
the PCB, and carries -12V. ("-12V" is marked on the PCB itself next to this end of the connector.)
Be sure to connect the other end of the power cable correctly, again so -12V corresponds to the red
stripe on the cable.
Power requirements
The disting mk4 draws 51mA on the +12V rail, and 19mA on the -12V rail.
It does not use the 5V rail.
Inputs, Outputs and Controls
From top to bottom, the disting has
A rotary encoder/push button, named 'S'.
A dot matrix display.
A MicroSD card slot.
A knob, referred to as the 'Z' control, which controls some
aspect of the algorithm. This knob also has a push button
function.
Three input sockets.
The top input is the 'Z' CV input, which controls the
same thing as the 'Z' knob. The two are added
together.
The other two inputs are 'X' and 'Y', and their function
depends on the current algorithm.
Two output sockets, named 'A' and 'B'.
The sockets are illuminated to reflect the voltage at the socket (or in the case of 'Z', the combined
voltage of the input and the knob). Red indicates a positive voltage; blue indicates a negative
voltage.
Inserting a MicroSD card
The disting's MicroSD card slot is to the left of the display.
The exposed contacts of the card should face towards the display; the angled side of the card itself
points up.
The slot is of the "push-push" type - to remove the card, push it in slightly and it will spring out.
