Being a modular component, uniCYCLE has been equipped with a couple of special capabilities such as hard- and soft-sync as well as modulation options for its waveforms. As a result, uniCYCLE offers VERMONA’s superior analogue sound quality and musicality as well as versatile possibilities that can fully unfold in a modular scenario.

To ensure top quality, we carefully checked the uniCYCLE module before packaging. Nevertheless, we cannot fully exclude damage during transportation. Therefore, we kindly ask you to inspect uniCYCLE by yourself, once you receive the module. In case there is anything unusual about the unit or its packaging, do not hesitate to contact you dealer or us, to solve the problem.

Setup uniCYCLE was designed to be mounted and used in Eurorack modular systems. Its power supply, connectors and dimensions match the typical specifications (VERMONA Modular Case, Doepfer A-100 and compatible systems). Mounting equals any other Eurorack module: Switch off the power supply! For safety reasons, also remove the detachable power cord from your frame...

Double-check the connections before continuing – safe is safe! Mount uniCYCLE to your modular frame using the supplied screws. To protect the unit’s surface from scratches, use the supplied flat plastic washers. Reconnect the power cord to your frame and switch on the power-supply.
Control Elements Controls and Switch With just three controls and a single switch, uniCYCLE can be operated really easy and with high effectiveness. TUNE sets the oscillator’s pitch. The available range depends upon the setting of the RANGE switch. FINE allows pitch-adjustments within a range of plus/minus one semitone.

This input is usually connected to the so-called key-CV, deriving from a keyboard, a step-sequencer or a MIDI/CV-interface. There is a jumper on the module’s rear for setting up if and how uniCYCLE received the key-CV from the system bus. (see "1V/OCT" on page 11) EXP FM This CV-input modulates uniCYCLE’s frequency.
Sync Inputs uniCYCLE offers two inputs for being synchronized to external sources. One input is for hard-sync H o, the other for soft-sync S a. H - SYNC The hard-sync input H works with signals with positive flanks like square-waves from oscillators, trigger- and gate-signals.

Waveform Outputs Each of uniCYCLE’s six waveforms offers an individual audio output, located in the OUTPUT section. You will find the standard waveforms Sine 1 s, Triangle 2 and Saw 3 to the left. To the right, you will that can be modified by the PW...

This sawtooth-waveform has doubled pitch compared to all other waves in uniCYCLE, but only with PW in center-position (50%). When altering the harmonic content using PW resp. PWM i, also the pitch is being changed. With 0% resp. 100% a triangle with the same frequency as the other waveforms is generated - with PW set to 0% shifted by 180°.

Jumper 1V/OCT uniCYCLE is able to receive key-CV via the system-bus if being applied to the same bus-circuit-board from a MIDI/CV-interface or a bus-access-module. Jumper (see "uniCYCLE front and rear" on page 3) allows setting whether and how uniCYCLE will react to key-CV via the bus.
