CHAPTER 2. ANATOMY AND FUNCTIONS 6. ENGAGE - This footswitch turns the entire Ringmaster on and off. When the engage light is turned off, the Ringmaster is true bypassed. 7. LFO RATE and DEPTH - This is a low frequency oscillator (LFO) which modulates the pitch of the sine wave carrier.
Getting Started Basic Hook Up 1. Unpack your Ringmaster and place it on a flat, stable surface. 2. Make sure you are using the 18-Volt DC (negative center) power supply that came with your Pigtronix Ringmaster.
Guided Tour The following steps will guide you through the sonic palette of the Ringmaster and show you how to access the range of tones that it has to offer. 1. Set all of the controls fully counter-clockwise, and set each tog- gle in the up position.
1. Plug a TS (Mono) cable into CARRIER. The signal will replace your instrument signal and multiply with the internal sine wave carrier. It is recommended that a sine, triangle, or square wave be used as the external carrier signal. These can be obtained from the Pigtronix Mothership 2.
Pigtronix Mothership Analog Synthesizer. The Ringmaster can be used solely as a CV modulation box by send- ing CV signals to the Mothership 2. Connect the Ringmaster CV OUT jack to the Mothership 2 EXPRESSION jack. When the Ringmaster is disengaged, the CV OUT jack is as well.

INPUT jack and take the Mothership 2 OUTPUT jack and connect it to the Ringmaster CARRIER jack. Then take the SUB OUT jack and connect it to the INPUT of the Ringmaster. This will produce a wide range of sounds depending on the waveform sent by the Mothership 2, or if SYNC is engaged.
