OSCILLATOR SECTION
While still holding the SCALE button:
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to navigate through the semitones.
Combinations of GATE LEDs show which semitone is selected. Both GATE
1 and PLAY light will indicate whether the semitone is active or not.
Use the TEMPO button to activate/deactivate a semitone.
Press the MIDI button to copy the scale defined by the MIDI input to the
currently edited scale (you still need to be in the Scale Edit mode).
While still holding SCALE, hold TEMPO and press UP/DOWN to shift the
whole scale up or down by a semitone.
If all semitones in the SCALE are deactivated, it will make that SCALE
unquantized. Or rather quantized to quarter tones so you can also hit the
tones in between the semitones!

PATCH POINTS

● TRANSPOSE input is a  V/OCT calibrated input that can be used to
transpose the OSC section pitch. Transpose is applied to the OSC after the
Scale Quantizer. The TRANSPOSE input is quantized in semitones. User
calibration implementation is planned for future firmware updates.
● MOD input is a pre-Scale Quantizer pitch control input for the oscillator
pitch. Anything sent to the input will be quantized to the active scale before
setting the pitch. The MOD input is attenuated by the PITCH MOD fader.
This means the intensity of how much it affects the pitch is set by this
fader (no effect if down, full effect if up).
The SAMPLE & HOLD stepped chaotic voltage is normalized to the MOD
input. So if nothing is plugged into the PITCH MOD input, the PITCH MOD
fader effectively sets the amount of randomization in the sequence.
● PWM (pulse-width modulation) input sets the pulse width of the PULSE
signal.
Increasing the voltage at the PWM input effectively takes away
the lowest (fundamental) harmonic from the PULSE signal or changes its
timbre. It can be modulated by voltages (e.g., ENV or HOLD) or set statically
by the XY output.
● TRI is the triangle output of the OSC section. The oscillator is a triangle

core oscillator, and the PULSE signal is derived from the TRI output.
