    GENERAL CONTROLS IDUM has 2 rotary controls, 2 selection buttons, 2 slider controls and a selection switch. These are used to control the available features and effects. Buttons. Press / tap to select an option or long press to change function.

  • Page 13: Input / Output Assignment

    INPUT / OUTPUT ASSIGNMENT CV inputs can be applied to the IDUM for external control and modulation over the chance, mode, parameter and length functions. In addition an external trigger can control the loop function on and off. One CL - Clock and four TR - Trigger inputs are featured along with their modified output counterparts.

  • Page 14: Functional Overview

    FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW IDUM has 4 trigger inputs which can be connected to an external gate source, typically a gate sequencer or LFO. The IDUM modification and on board effects are then applied to the gate signals before passing them to the outputs. This applies an effect to modify incoming sequences in a way that is playable with tactile controls in a similar way that an audio effect can be used to modify the signal of an audio source.
  • Page 15 But when the CYCLE switch is in its upright position, IDUM will send out a burst of clocks at the end of every modification in order to catch up to its original sequencer position. This works better with some sequencers than others.

  • Page 16: First Patch

    FIRST PATCH To help speed up the learning curve with IDUM, a recommended first patch is shown. This is a good starting point and will help to demo the features as described in this manual. Other patches and configurations could also be used.

    However, all you need to use IDUM is a clock at the clock input and some sounds to plug the trigger outputs into. To start out: set the CHANCE slider all the way high, the LENGTH slider all the way low, and the PARAM knob at 12 o'clock.

  • Page 24 ROTATE mode will scramble the connection between the trigger inputs and outputs on IDUM. When the PARAM knob is turned clockwise from noon, each output will be shifted right, wrapping around to the left when it is shifted past output 4. When the PARAM knob is turned counter-clockwise from noon, the inputs and outputs are swapped in pairs to create new possible arrangements of the outputs.

  • Page 28: Looper

    LOOPER IDUM's LOOP function will record the eight most recent steps of triggers along with whatever modification activity was happening on that step and then replay those eight steps. While the looper is active, IDUM's controls switch their normal functionality to give control over the loop playback parameters.

    Then short press on the REMOVE MODE button. It is important to unplug any modulation from the mode CV input because this will influence where IDUM's processor will think the mode dial is pointed. The names of each option are faintly written on the panel.
