Tips and tricks
• If DEJA VU is past 12 o’clock and the loop length
is set to 1, the outputs remain frozen in the same
state.
• If DEJA VU is around 11 o’clock, the loop will
slowly mutate.
• The DEJA VU knob has a “virtual notch” at 12
o’clock - even if it is not exactly at 12 o’clock, you
will still get a perfectly non-random loop.
• Once a sequence is looping, it is still possible to
alter it with SPREAD/BIAS to map it to a differ-
ent range of voltages.
• Once a sequence is looping, a rapid double press
on the DEJA VU buttons reseeds it.
• When the X section is not externally clocked,
X
1
, X
2
and X
3
are rhythmically independent from
each other, each output changing its voltage at
its own pace. Setting the loop LENGTH to 3 (for
example), will cause each output to go through a
3-note sequence independently from the other,
creating polyrythmic effects.
• Self-patching is a rewarding technique with
Marbles! In particular, the Y output provides a
useful slow modulation source for randomizing
the other parameters of the module.
