1010music Toolbox Quick Start Manual

Before You Start
A microSD card must be inserted into toolbox
before you can get started. All presets are stored
on the microSD card. Preset changes are only
saved when you choose to save them.
Overview
Toolbox offers touchscreen control of sequencers and
function generators that provide CV and MIDI outputs
for use in controlling other modules. Toolbox by itself
does not generate any sound.
The Main screen shows a representation of each of
the different sequencer and function outputs. The
columns of the screen display are mapped to the
input and output jacks below the screen. You can
touch the individual elements on the screen in
columns 2 through 4 to access parameter screens for
each element. Each row of input and output jacks
corresponds to a row of controls on the screen.
From left to right, the columns display the following:
Column Name Description
1 CV Mod In Displays the state of the external control voltage modulation inputs in rows
1 through 3. Row 4 displays the state of CV Mod In 4 that controls
playback.
2 Gate Displays a small representation of the four gate sequences. Touch each
Sequencers row to configure the corresponding sequencer.
3 Note Displays a small representation of the note sequences. Touch each row to
Sequencers configure the corresponding note sequence. The left row of output jacks
below this row outputs the gate signal, and the right row outputs the pitch.
4 Function Displays a representation of the CV voltage currently output by the
Generators corresponding function generator or sequencer, from -5V to +5V. Touch
an LFO or SEQ button to configure the parameters.
