Each oscillator has a column of top and bottom knobs, to control the parameters. The Oscillator Display has four pages, depending on which controls are Pushing any of the bottom row knobs will enable the FM algorithm being used:...

    Example1 OSCILLATOR MENU HOLD Oscillator 1&2 are combined in parallel to modulate oscillator 3. Oscillator 4 is not modulated. Pushing and holding the Red Oscillator button for a few seconds will activate the Oscillator Menu, A B C D pushing the button again for a few seconds will exit the Oscillator Menu.

  • Page 12 There are two types of VECTOR animation, VEC1 allows the Joystick destination 'VEC' in a modulation slot, and select GATE or M1T as a movement to be recorded over time, VEC2 allows you to store four trigger source. Joystick vector positions, which are used to recreate a vector The speed is set by the bottom right knob on the Vector page.
  • Page 13 Move the Joystick to a desired mix position, and push one of the 'Q' QUICK CONTROLS PERFORMANCE PAGE bottom row knobs to store the Vector position. Repeat for all four Cell boxes. This menu allows easy access to some of the creative Oscillator Bank Use the 1st three bottom row knobs to adjust the time-speed between parameters, giving quick access and hands on control to the timbre of each Cell.

    "RPI-RP2". Copy or drag the UF2 firmware file into the "RPI-RP2" disk. There is also a 12 pin header to connect the Vector Wave Expander If successful, the disk will ‘eject’ automatically, and the module will module. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS restart with the new firmware.
