Pulser - Intellijel Tangrams Manual

PULSER

The PULSER generates two sequential
pulses (PULSE 1 and PULSE 2) — each with
its own independent Pulse Time setting
(labeled T1 and T2 ). PULSE 2 is always
triggered at the conclusion of PULSE 1. One
pulse is always a high gate, and the other a
low gate, with various switches determining
which is which (as discussed below).
The PULSER can be used completely
independent of the two envelopes (sending its
output to the PULSE OUT [3.D] jack), or it
can be used as an additional GATE source for
the envelopes — OR'd with each envelope's
own GATE inputs.
In CYCLE mode, the pulse sequence repeats
endlessly, and runs automatically. In SINGLE
mode, the pulse sequence plays once and
stops, and is triggered either via the PULSER
MANUAL TRIGGER [3.7] button or a signal
patched into the P.TRIG IN [3.C] jack. Once
started, PULSE 1 lasts for a length of T1 [3.1]
and is immediately followed by PULSE 2,
which lasts for a length of T2 [3.2] .
Each envelope has a
PULSE SELECT [3.9][3.10] switch for
selecting whether to use the PULSER as an additional envelope GATE source and, if so, whether
PULSE 1 or PULSE 2 is the HIGH (gate) PULSE. Sending the PULSER to an envelope will OR its
gate with the envelope's GATE IN and MANUAL GATE button.
An additional PULSE POLARITY [3.11] switch lets you set whether PULSE 1 or PULSE 2
generates a HIGH gate via the PULSE OUT [3.D] jack.
The function of each Pulser control & jack is discussed below, while the diagram shown in the
Pulser/Envelope Interaction section offers a more graphical depiction of the relationship between
the Pulser and the two Envelopes. Finally, numerous examples of how to use the Pulser are
discussed in the SINGLE-SHOT Pulse / Envelope Examples and CYCLING Pulse Examples
sections, later in this manual.
