Mutable Instruments Marbles User Manual

All channels follow the settings on the control panel.
X
2
follows the control panel, while X
1
and X
3
take opposite
values. For example, if STEPS is turned fully CW, X
1
and X
3
will be smooth while X
2
is quantized to the root note and its
octaves.
X
1
follows the control panel, X
3
reacts in the opposite di-
rection, and X
2
always stays in the middle (steppy, unbiased,
bell-curve).
N. External processing mode (>see the next section).
5. STEPS, SPREAD and BIAS CV inputs.
6. External clock input. When patched, all three outputs
follow the same external clock, as opposed to being clocked
by the three outputs from the t section.
7. CV outputs.
Sampling external CVs with the X generator
Press the button [N] to enable the external processing
mode. In this mode, the module samples the voltage present
on the SPREAD CV input (5) whenever a random value is
needed for one of the X outputs. This allows the artist to
sample, loop, quantize, shuffle, or transpose external CVs.
Y Generator
The Y generator, by default, is a smooth, full-range (-5V to
+5V), random source that is clocked at 1/16 the rate of X
2
.
These settings can be modified by holding the button [M]
and adjusting RATE (division factor relative to X
2
, from 1/64
to 1), SPREAD, BIAS and STEPS while the button is held. The
Y output is never affected by the DEJA VU section.
