GODEATER MAN EM9 BN A4 Understanding and Caring for Your Animal Bonesaw
Eurorack Module

Congratulations!
You are now a proud human to a Bonesaw Eurorack Module.
We took the sloppiness of a drunk surgeon operating on sonic limbs and packed it into 10HP! This is a fairly simple module to use, but do go through this manual in detail to get the most out of it.

CONTROLS

UPPER KNOBS

DRIVE: Increases the overall gain of the filter circuit, with a bone-crushing distortion past the 3 pm marker.| Q: Controls the filter resonance.
Be cautious with this control, it can self-oscillate VERY easily!
---|---
CUTOFF: Controls the cutoff frequency with a 6dB slope for
each of the outputs.| FM PHASE: Controls the phase of the frequency modulation applied to the filtered signal.
When rotated CCW the modulation is out of phase, rotated CW the modulation is in phase with the source.

AUDIO I/O
IN: Audio Input
FM IN: Secondary audio input. If nothing is connected to this input, it is normal for the BP output.
LP OUT: Low-pass output.
BP OUT: Band-pass output.
HP OUT: High-pass output.
CV I/O
CUTOFF CV: Can accept bipolar CV signal to modulate frequency cutoff.
Q CV: Can accept bipolar CV signal to modulate Q.
FM CV: Can accept unipolar positive CV signal to modulate the bias of FM.
LOWER KNOBS
CUTOFF ATTENUATOR: Controls the scaling of the CV signal which modulates the cutoff knob.
FM VCA: Controls the amount of CV signal that is applied to VCA for the FM input.
Q ATTENUATOR: Controls the amount of CV signal for resonance control.
A white light under the clear knob indicates a positive-going modulation signal, while a blue light indicates a negative one.

VIVISECT EXPANSION

The Bonesaw outputs can be normalized to the Vivisect inputs by the headers on the back of each module with the 6-wire cable provided.
They are mapped as follows:
Vivisect Out 1 – Drive Output (phase inverted)
Vivisect Out 2 – Low Pass Signal
Vivisect Out 3 – Band Pass Signal
Vivisect Out 4 – High Pass Signal
Use this creatively to accentuate the filter effects! For example, summing the outputs 2-4 gives you a basic EQ of sorts. Playing with the phase using the individual channel knobs can yield interesting comb filter effects. And if you just want a FAT drive, tap the output of Vivisect channel one.
The notch on the cable should point upwards on both modules. If the cable is connected incorrectly, you will likely hear little or nothing – just swap the direction on one module.
