Page 7: Connections
1. Connections Before you cable your setup, switch off every unit to be connected. On the back side of the moonwind mk II you can find the following connectors: (seen from the top) -
Page 8: Dc 2 Amps
1.1. 12V DC 2 amps The supplied 12V DC 2A wall wart adapter shall be plugged in here. Please do not use any other power supply since the moonwind mk II needs 2 amperes. In case once you would need a non-Jomox power supply please take care that it meets the given specs. -

¼inch plug cables for each side. 1.4. Output L R Delivers the audio output signal of the moonwind mk II. The output is balanced and adjustable from -∞ to about max. +20 dBu. Connect the Audio Out to an audio mixer, DAW interface or an amp. Please use standard ¼... -
Page 10: Operation
User Interface 2.1. Rotary Knobs (Potentiometers) 2.1.1. GAIN Controls the gain of the input. The moonwind mk II can process almost any input levels, from weak guitar signals to very high studio line levels of +20dBu. Please adjust the gain so that the neighbored Peak LED just does not light up yet. -
Page 11: Volume
Amplitude Cutoff Frequency The moonwind mk II owns two identical filters. Therefore only one side is described more detailed here because the three, in a triangle arranged knobs Cutoff, Q and Res have the same function on each filter. -
Page 12: Res
2.1.6. RES Adjusts the resonance of the filter. Opposing to most other synth filters the moonwind mk II has different settings for Q and Resonance. With resonance the filter becomes able to self-oscillate and can produce a stable sine oscillation at cutoff frequency. To make this happen, Q must be set higher than zero as well. -
Page 13: Data Encoder
All movements can also be recorded into the sequencer. If you want to record, just start the sequencer, and as soon as you touch the touchpad, recording starts automatically. Let your moonwind mkII become a true whistleblower! moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -

In this mode, no edits can be made by the continuous potentiometer knobs Cutoff/Q/Res. This is useful if you play the moonwind mk II live or in a studio recording and only want to use previously programmed presets which are not due to change during playing or recording. -

2. Operation 2.4. Single Presets After turning on, the moonwind mk II is in Single mode and in the main menu i.e. quick edit mode. The filter and the effects processor now work like a filter bank and can be edited directly by the rotary knobs. Each change is immediatly audible and can be stored right away. -
Page 27: Editing In Quick Edit Mode
2. Operation 2.5. Editing in Quick Edit Mode If you apply an audio signal to the moonwind mk II and level it with the gain knob, you can see the level indicator bar moving up and down (L position). With the Cutoff/Q/Res knobs you can immediatly edit the sound. You see the changes as bar movements in the quick edit screen display. -

Page 29: Functional Description
3. Functional Description 3. Functional Description 3.1. Hardware Description The moonwind mk II is an analog stereo multi mode filter with an additional effects processor. Who doesn't want to spend too much time with technical details of sound processing may proceed now to chapter 4. Sound Parameters. - Page 30 (LP, HP, BP, Notch) for the filter output. From the output of the filter a part of the signal is fed back to the fx processor via a VCA (FX Feedback) in order to create e.g. tape delays or wave guide reflections. moonwind mk II Operating Manual...

Page 32: Memory Model
Load / Store 256 Presets 32 Presets The moonwind mk II has two buffer systems: the Single mode buffer (SingleBuf) and the Sequence mode buffer (SequenceBuf). The SingleBuf mainly controls the hardware with all layers from FX, Routing up to the Filter Cutoff/Q/Res. It can be loaded from 256 preset memories residing in flash memory or store into them. -
Page 33: Sound Parameters
On this page, you can select the effect program with the DATA encoder or the Up/Down buttons. Because the three available Fx parameters have a different meaning for each fx program, the value description of them changes individually for every algorithm. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... - Page 34 Test no FX (no function) (no function) (no function) Reverb 1 Time HFil LFil (Reverb Time) (Reverb (Reverb (Open Reverb) Highpass) Lowpass) Reverb 2 Time HFil LFil (Reverb Time) (Reverb (Reverb (Dense Reverb) Highpass) Lowpass) moonwind mk II Operating Manual...

Page 36: Fx Parameter 1 < 000-127
With the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) you can create interesting modulations of the cutoff. Slowly uprising and fading filter sweeps up to tonal vibratos are possible. A large number of 64 wave forms is at your choice. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -
Page 37: Lfo Rate <000 - 127 / Midiclock Sync
If you turn up the value above 127, the midi clock dividers appear in the value field. If the moonwind mkII receives Midi clock, the LFOs automatically sync to the beat clock and the selected note length of one wave cycle. Following abbreviations and divider ratios are available: moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -
Page 38: Lfo Intensity <000 - 127
This allows you to create voice-like continuous filter sweeps. Slide = 1 makes no effect and Slide = 32 slowly ramps up or down between two steps. Slide does not affect the LFO modulation. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -

Page 41: Filter Routing / Noise
This is possible by the in/output router which is described more detailed in chapter 3. Functional Description. Following settings are possible: 4.5.1.a) Stereo (Default): Both filters work independently of each other. The signal paths are separated. This is the default mode. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -

4 pole slope arises. A highpass and a lowpass form a bandpass. This requires of course that the passing bands (cutoff) overlap enough, or almost no signal would come out as a result. Example: moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -

Page 44: Input Routing
The input signal only feeds the fx processor. The fx output feeds the filter input. This configuration is useful if you want to process a pure effect (e.g. bit crusher, compressor, wave guide) with the filters. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -
Page 45: C) Fil-- Only Filter No Fx
At this menu item you can decide if white or metallic noise is fed into the moonwind mk II filter or not. For some experimental sound applications this can be very useful. The moonwind mk II emerges to be a complete sound producer. Noise = 001 produces white noise. -
Page 46: Vca / Fil Env Amt
Controls the filter envelope amount of the left filter cutoff. Note that this value may also be negative. If so, the envelope works reversely as it is subtracted from the cutoff CV. This value also controls the amount of the external envelope if XENV = On. moonwind mk II Operating Manual... -

Page 56: Ckdv Clock Divider <1 - 64
This function can be useful if you create sequences that work with other note lengths than 1/16 . If you syncronize the moonwind mk II to another device and the filter steps should e.g. only change in a quarter measure, set CkDv to 8. Triplets and other uneven divider clock division ratios are therefore also possible of course. -

S e q G o R c v O n Now the moonwind mk II is in reception mode for the different bulk dumps that are accepted in the moonwind mk II. Play back the bulk dump on your computer, e.g. with our provided SysExDumper program (available for free at www.jomox.de). -
Page 65: Os Sysex Dump Reception
Please note that in order to store a preset to cpu flash memory, the moonwind mk II needs some time to turn off any cpu interrupts and wait the time for the internal flash cell storing. During that time no midi can be received. -
Page 66: Midi Control Of The Moonwind Mk Ii
- this is an analogue filter bank and not a synth. If the moonwind mk II receives midi data on its own midi channel, the MIDI LED close to the Midi In jack lights up shortly. -
Page 67: Midi Implementation
Noise On/Off 0/64 * In the moonwind mk II the fine resolution controllers for cutoff can be transmitted by 2 MSB/LSB controllers. Most sequencer programs are able to do this; you only have to define these CCs as 14 bit controllers with MSB and LSB and edit the respective values. -
Page 68: Note Commands
CC controllers. The system exclusive command line for a single preset looks as follows: Single preset dump: $F0(SysEx Begin), $31(JoMoX Code), $3F(Command Bulk Dump), $78(Product Code), $01(Type Code), $XX(Preset MSB), $XX(Preset LSB), XX(Data0),XX(Data1),..., $F7(End of SysEx) 28x 14-Bit Word (0..16384) + 8x char byte names per preset are transmitted.
