Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
a-exp - automatic, exponential mode. Exponential slide is also known as ‘fixed time’
slide. The shape of the transition from one CV value to the next follows an exponential decay
curve. As the difference between the two notes increases, the initial rate of slide will increase,
with the result that the time taken to slide between two notes is roughly the same, regardless
of the interval between them.
The remaining lin and exp options are as above, but slide is always active.
Moving on to the top row of values:
The first setting is chan – for MIDI channel.
This sets the MIDI channel number that this output will respond to.
For our example “synth1”, this should be set to channel 1.
The range setting defines the range of MIDI notes that this output will respond to when used
for note or velocity output.
The range shown here is from C0 to GX, where ‘X’ is short for octave 10.
This represents the absolute maximum range of CV output possible – 10 and a half octaves,
giving just over 10.5 volts for a 1 volt/octave synth.
The lower note limit for the CV output determines the note which will correspond to
minimum output voltage.
The appropriate range will vary widely for different synths that may be used, so a bit of trial
and error may be required.
The next setting is ctrl#, for controller number.
This is the MIDI CC number whose value will be mixed into the CV according to the ctrl
amount on the lower row.
Alternatively, turning one step before CC #0 will select bend. Pitch-bend will be added to the
CV output according to the amount value. The amount value will be shown in semitones,
rather than percentage depth.
The law setting gives a choice of:
V/oct - volts per octave (Moog / Roland type)
Hz/V - Hertz per volt (Korg / Yamaha type)
gate - allows the use of a CV output as a gate output
As the CV outputs are capable of outputting a higher voltage than the gate outputs, the gate
option can be used to drive synths which need a higher level gate voltage than 5 volts.
