  • Page 4: Description

    Description Fade. Switch. Mix. Route. Synapse is a crossfading switch with a signal path that can be rearranged on the fly. Its dynamic routing and mixing functionality make it capable of turning static waveforms into evolving soundscapes. The core of Synapse is comprised of four crossfade circuits chained to a sequential switch, all under digital control.

    12 volts. In most systems, the negative 12 volt supply line is at the bottom. The power cable should be connected to the Synapse with the red band facing the bottom of the module.

    +5V DC Offset A +5V DC offset can be enabled, allowing the Synapse to become a stand alone modulation device. When enabled, a +5V DC signal will be applied to each channel’s B input.

  • Page 9: Linear / Constant Loudness Curves

    The DC offset is disabled by default. Linear / Constant Loudness Curves The cross fade curve of the Synapse is configurable between linear and constant loudness. To toggle between linear and constant loudness curves, press the Scatter button while holding the Terminal encoder.

  • Page 10: Advance

    Sending a trigger or gate signal to the Advance input will move all channels one output to the right. This allows Synapse to function as a traditional sequential switch. Scatter Pressing the Scatter button will shuffle the positions of all outputs.

  • Page 11: Memory

    4. Memory Memory allows for the storage of 8 sets of cross fade states. Moving the memory knob will load each saved bank. When moving to a new Memory location, the LED corresponding to the selected bank will blink white and then begin to repeatedly fade to indicate that the Memory location is selected.

    CV inputs. Range is from 0 to 5 seconds. 6. Internal Modulation Synapse features a set of internal triangle wave LFOs. LFO Amplitude Each cross fade channel’s LFO amplitude can be set by holding the Scatter button, and turning the channel’s cross fade knob.

  • Page 13: Lfo Frequency

    LFO Frequency All four LFOs are linked and share a common frequency. LFO Frequency can be set by holding the Scatter button and adjusting the Inertia knob. When the Inertia knob is fully counter-clockwise, the LFO frequency will be 0.03Hz (30 seconds).

  • Page 14: Randomizing Internal Modulation

    Randomizing Internal Modulation To randomize the amplitudes and frequency of the LFOs, hold the Scatter button and press the Save button. All LEDs will perform a green fading animation to indicate the LFOs are being randomized. 7. Factory Reset To restore the state of the module to its default settings, hold the Terminal Encoder and press the Save button.
