  • Page 5: Mode Overview

    MODE OVERVIEW LFO MODE: LFO (FREE RUNNING) This first mode is a simple free running LFO. You can modulate its frequency, waveshape, and amplitude. The 1v/octave input operates as labeled. LFO (RESET) This mode is similar to the Free Running LFO mode but its 1v/octave input instead operates as a sync input.
  • Page 6 MODE OVERVIEW (continued) RANDOM MODE: SMOOTH RANDOM: This mode generates “fluctuating random voltages”. The probable rate of change is controlled with the channel’s Frequency control. The amplitude control functions normally, but waveform and phase controls have no effect. STEPPED RANDOM: This mode generates stepped random voltages at a rate determined by the frequency control.

Use this if you have mistakenly initialized or randomized saved data that you would like to keep. Note: You cannot reload presets after initiating “Save Presets.” INIT All PRESETS Initializes all preset slots and replaces the data with a simple sound.

    LOAD WAVES FROM SD This option will load the file "1.wav" from the inserted SD card and write its contents to Kermit's internal waveform memory. The module will reboot afterwards. REbOOT Restarts the module without the need to power your system down. UPGRADING FIRMWARE You will need an inexpensive “Pickit3”...
