  • Page 3 THE LCD gives visual feedback on the main functions of the module. THE LEFT ENCODER allows to access main functions in the menus. THE RIGHT ENCODER allows to access secondary functions in the menus. BACK button allows to return to the menu above ADJUST MASTER TUNE of the VCO. Tune range is 16Hz - 4kHz, larger range can be achieved with CV applied to 1V/oct input. For FINE TUNE push and hold the right encoder, and rotate the left one to adjust the tune between +-50 cents. The Fine Tune function works in the main screen and the oscilloscope screen only! ADJUST FX (depending on selected function) amount manually. If FX AMT CV is patched, this knob becomes FX amount CV attenuator. DEPENDING ON FX ADJUSTS THE FX selected, this knob PARAMETER , for example, FM frequency, if FM is selected. If FX CV is patched, this knob becomes FX CV attenuator. In Wavetable Matrix mode use this knob to morph thru waves in horizontal direction.
