Acc; Gate; Out - Jomox ModBase 09 MkII Operating Manual

Version OS 2.07
the entire audio range and the frequency resolution is not limited by the
sampling rate of the CPU. Since the input has no amount knob, one should
put an attenuator (it may be passive, means a potentiometer) into the signal
chain because otherwise modulation occurs at full intensity of the
modulating signal (eg. LFO). This input processes also negative voltages.

2.3. ACC

The ACC input serves for the accent. The applied CV can control the kick
drum dynamics as well as trigger directly dynamically if the master
sequencer allows for this feature. In normal mode (Gate Mode = Pos, Neg
or S-Trig) the accent CV is taken in the moment of trigger and controls the
volume (dynamics) of the kick drum.
If, however, the Gate Mode is set to <ACC> (see 6.4 Gate Mode), the kick
drum can be triggered just by the accent CV. This requires that the
sequencer is capable of producing pulses with a defined accent CV that have
to go back to zero each time. The settings around accent dynamics and the
accent threshold can be found in chapter 6.3. Acc Sens(ivity).

2.4. GATE

The gate input of a typical modular environment is the input which is used
to trigger the tone of the ModBase 09 MkII. The typical gate high signals
used in modular world have normally 5-15 volts, which the gate input of the
ModBase 09 MkII can process without any problems – the threshold is at
about 1 volts. The gate polarity can be inverted by software too.
Furthermore, some modular systems use a special kind of triggering called
S-trig (switch trigger) which the ModBase 09 MkII can do as a software
feature too. In this case the triggering is excited if the tip (hot wire) and ring
(=ground) of the gate cable plug are shorted – be it electronical by a
transistor or mechanical by a simple switch.

2.5. OUT

Audio ouput signal of the ModBase 09 MkII. The ouput is unbalanced and
has a maximum level of about +20 dBu, so it can be very loud and may
overdrive high gain inputs. Therefore connect the audio output with an
appropriate attenuator/mixer or amplifier.
