Controls
-
DISPLAY – Produces a waveform of the audio content for quick visual feedback.
-
USB – Connect a standard USB cable for firmware updates.
-
BANK button – Toggles between Bank A and Bank B models.
-
TIMBRE knob – Function varies depending on the model selected, but generally sweeps from darker to brighter content.
-
HARMONICS knob – Function varies depending on the model selected, but generally adjusts frequency spread or tonal balance.
-
TIMBRE CV LEVEL – Attenuates the voltage received at the Timbre CV input. If the CV input is not patched, and a signal is received at the Trig input, this knob will instead control the amount of modulation from the internal envelope generator.
-
TIMBRE CV – Control the Timbre parameter via external control voltage.
-
OUT 1 – Sends the main processed signal via 3.5 mm TS cable.
-
MODEL jack – Allows model selection to be made remotely via external control voltage.
-
MODEL button – Scrolls through the available models in the currently-active bank.
-
MODEL LEDs – Indicate the current model via red LED for bank A or green LED for bank B.
-
MORPH knob – Function varies depending on the model selected, but generally controls the panning or character.
-
FREQ knob – Covers a range of
8 octaves, but can be narrowed down to 14 semitones. -
MORPH CV LEVEL – Attenuates the voltage received at the Morph CV input. If the CV input is not patched, and a signal is received at the Trig input, this knob will instead control the amount of modulation from the internal envelope generator.
-
MORPH CV – Control the Morph parameter via external control voltage.
-
OUT 2 – Sends an alternate or variant of the Out 1 signal via 3.5 mm TS cable.
-
TRIG – Performs several functions:
- Triggers the internal envelope generator.
- Excites the physical and percussive models.
- Strikes the internal low-pass gate.
- Samples and holds the value of the Model CV input.
-
HARMONICS CV – Control the Harmonics parameter via external control voltage.
-
V/OCT – Controls the fundamental frequency relative to the root selected by the Freq knob.
-
FM CV – Control the FM parameter via external control voltage.
-
LEVEL – Opens the internal low-pass gate on the output signal, controlling both output level and brightness. Also triggers an accent when the physical or percussive models are active.
-
FM CV LEVEL – Attenuates the voltage received at the FM CV input.
