Making Notes (Basic)
Patch a sound source into the Audio In A jack, and patch the Audio Out A jack to your mixer or amp
so you can hear it on speakers or headphones. When choosing the sound source, try to find something
that makes a continuous tone or drone, such as a VCO like the Ensemble Oscillator.
When the left Cycle button is on (button is shining orange), you should hear notes being played at a
steady tempo. The notes should have a sharp attack (quick fade-in) and longer decay (slower fade-
out).
Try moving the Rise slider up and listen to how the sound fades in more slowly. Then move the Fall
slider down and hear how the fade-out gets faster. Continue to experiment with the slider positions,
listening to how the sound and tempo change. Try flipping the switches to Fast and hear how much
faster the envelope gets.
Next, patch the Env Out jack to a modulation input on the sound source. For example, if you're using
the Ensemble Oscillator, try patching it to the Warp jack. For other VCOs, try a PWM or wave-shaper
input. Adjust the Level and Offset knobs to control the amount of modulation. When both knobs are
centered, you should hear no modulation.
Making Notes in Stereo
So far we've just used Channel A, but this patch can be duplicated on Channel B to process two sound
sources or a single stereo sound source. Try doing this now, by patching the second output of the
Ensemble Oscillator or some other sound source into the Audio In B jack. If you don't have another
sound source, you could leave Audio In B unpatched and the signal from In A will be routed there
automatically, but using a stereo sound source (or two mono sound sources) has a nicer effect.
Patch the Audio Out B jack to the mixer (adjust the panning if your mixer supports that). Turn channel
B Cycle on. Adjust the Rise and Fall sliders and set the switches to center. You should hear both
sound sources playing at different tempos.
