EXPLORING LABYRINTH
NOTE: To tune Labyrinth to a specific key, turn the SEQ1 CV RANGE knob fully counterclockwise. You can now tune
the VCO FREQUENCY to the root note of your scale. As you increase SEQ1 CV RANGE, the sequencer voltages will
spread in a bipolar fashion with the root note you tuned in the center.
NOTE: If you don't perceive a difference, turn SEQ1 CV RANGE next to SEQ1 and make
sure SEQ1 AMT next to the VCO is fully clockwise.
You can also flip bits as the sequencer is running by pressing BIT FLIP, which
will flip the bit in the current bit location either on or off depending on its
current state. Holding BIT FLIP down as the sequencer runs through the
sequence will flip every on bit off and every off bit on—the latter producing a
new random voltage at that particular bit.
ADDITIONAL TRANSPORT CONTROLS
Pressing the LENGTH button for SEQ1 will shorten the sequence to 7 bits.
Pressing again will shorten to 6 bits, and on and on until you reach a sequence
length of 1 bit, upon which pressing LENGTH again will reset to a sequence 8
LENGTH
bits long.
NOTE: You can reset the length of SEQ1 to 8 steps by pressing LENGTH + RESET at the
same time.
Pressing the BIT SHIFT button for SEQ1 will shift the entire current sequence to
the right by 1 bit, using whatever was stored at bit 8 wrapping back around to
bit 1. If the sequence LENGTH is anything shorter than 8 bits, only the bits in the
current LENGTH of the sequence will be affected by BIT SHIFT.
BIT SHIFT
NOTE: You can rotate the bits of SEQ1 back to their original positions by pressing BIT
SHIFT + RESET at the same time.
(Continued)
The sequencer of Labyrinth generates a completely
random voltage between –5 volts and +5 volts every time
a bit is flipped on. Press RUN/STOP to stop the sequencer,
and press RESET to set the play head to bit 1. Press BIT
FLIP to flip bit 1 off, and then press it again to flip bit 1 back
on. Now, when you press RUN/STOP to play the sequence
again, you will notice that the voltage value at bit 1 is
different from what it was before, while the notes at bits 3,
5, and 6 are the same!
