  • Page 3: Short Description

    1. Short description The AIRLECTRON is a small, compact CV module with a distance sensor and recording func- tion. The module can record the CV generated by hand movement over the sensor up to a length of more than two minutes. The sequence remains stored in the battery-backed RAM even after switching off.

    2.2 Module overview START / RESET Trigger output and input GATE output “ACTIVITY” CV output bipolar max. +/-5v CV output unipolar max. 0..+10v Attenuators of the CV outputs Pot for maximum distance range (min. 4cm to max. 7 to 40 cm) Distance sensor (Proximity sensor) RECORD standby button HOLD button to freeze the currently generated CV or playback speed...
  • Page 5: Module Backside (Polarity, Backup Battery)

    Insert the backup battery before connecting the unit to your modular rack. The AIRLECTRON uses a standard 3v lithium backup battery, type CR2032. Insert the provided bat- tery or a comparable battery into the battery compartment as shown below. The battery is needed to keep recordings and settings stored when the Eurorack case is turned off.
  • Page 6: Sensor Working Principle

    2.4 Sensor working principle In the middle of the circular graphic there is a modern optical distance sensor with an infrared laser diode and receiver, which measures the distance of a hand (or object) within the maximum set distan- ce range every 10ms. The maximum distance range can be set between approx. 7 and 40cm using the RANGE control.

    3. HANDLING 3.1 Manually mode (play sensor) Play manually with the sensor when recording is stopped (START button not lit). The current generated voltage can be held permanently using the HOLD button (HOLD button lights up). The output voltage is attenuated with the two potentiometers. If the hand or an object in the sen- sor area generates a CV value greater than zero, the GATE output “ACTIVITY”...
  • Page 8: Play Loop/Oneshot

    PLAY LOOP - The sequenz will be played repeatedly when the LOOP LED lights up. At the end of the loop, a RESET pulse is output at the socket when the sequence is restarted (LED flashes briefly). The START button lights up permanently during playback. PLAY ONE SHOT - The sequence will only be played once if the LOOP LED is not lit.
