5.15 Velocity Output:
The [Velocity / CV Output Jack] outputs a 0v to 5v DC voltage. This output can be used in one
of several ways. Note Velocity Mode, Paraphonic Mode, and Random Shift Register Mode.
Note Velocity Mode outputs a 0v to 5v DC voltage based on the velocity value of the active
MIDI or arpeggiator note.
5.16 Velocity Output Paraphonic Mode:
Taiga utilizes the [Velocity Output Jack] to create a 2 voice paraphonic synthesizer. This means
Taiga can play 2 notes simultaneously while maintaining a monophonic lter and Dynamics
signal path. This is not a perfect solution or a replacement for true polyphony. Many hardware
compromises limit the functionality but if you want to play 2 notes at the same time, Para-
phonic Mode can do that.
Patch the [Velocity / CV Output Jack] into the [Pitch] input of one of the oscillators. This patch
cable will send the selected oscillator the offset voltage necessary to play the second note.
Paraphonic calibration procedure is outlined in section 17 of the manual.
5.17 Velocity Output Pseudo-Random Shift Register:
Inspired by the pseudo-random source on the original Voltage Lab, Taiga includes a complex
random generator hidden behind the [Velocity / CC Output Jack] and [Gate Output Jack] that
generates both CV and gate signals. The Velocity Pseudo-Random Shift Register functions
similar to an analog, 6 stage shift register. When the clock signal triggers an update and the
next register value is loaded, there is a chance it will evolve. The random generator cycles
through the 6 steps of the sequence and each time the sequencer jumps to the next step,
there is a chance the value stored in that step will be replaced with a new value. The result is a
random source that feels both random and evolutionary, with an ever evolving 6 step pattern
cycle.
Set the Velocity Mode mode by pressing and holding the [Edit Button] then pressing the [Ve-
locity/CV Mode Button] to cycle through the 4 options. Press once to check current option.
Press again to advance through the available options. The velocity mode can only be
changed when arpeggiator mode is NOT active.
