Controls and Connectors
Oscillator Lamp
Indicates the on/off condition of the internal oscillator.
Oscillator Range
Selects one of 6 oscillator frequency ranges.
Range 1: .05Hz - .46Hz
Range 2: .13Hz - 1.2Hz
Range 3: .5Hz - 4.7Hz
Range 4: 2Hz - 19Hz
Range 5: 8Hz - 75Hz
Range 6: 31Hz - 280Hz
Frequency Vernier
Variable control of oscillator frequency. Approximately a 1 to 9 range.
Oscillator On/Off Buttons
Manual control of oscillator operation.
Oscillator On/Off Inputs
Voltage control of oscillator operation. Typically a gate (trigger) signal, Oscillator square wave, etc.
Oscillator Voltage Control Input
Voltage control of oscillator frequency. 1 Volt per octave, temperature compensated.
Oscillator Output
Pulse wave oscillator output with a 90% (Default) duty cycle. 0-5 volts.
Stage Lamp
Indicates a stage is active. Normally only one stage is active at a time.
Stage Control Knobs
The knobs of the active stage determine the voltage at the row outputs.
Stage Mode Switch
Selects Skip, Normal, or Stop modes. Normal: A stage comes on, stays on for the duration of the
oscillator cycle, then turns off and shifts to the next stage.
Skip: Removes the stage from the shifting sequence.
Stop: Prevents shifting to the next stage. The oscillator remains on.
Stage Set Buttons
Allows manual selection of a stage and resets the other stages.
Stage Trigger Inputs
Trigger (Gate) input signals cause stage selection and others to reset. This can be a keyboard gate,
a pulse from an oscillator, a trigger output from another stage or sequencer, etc.
Stage Trigger Outputs
When the stage is active, a trigger (Gate) output is available at this jack. The output stays on as long
as the stage is on.
