    1 General Note Fully schematic is not supported by this manual. If you think you really need to receive it, please write to spectralaudio@swissonline.ch 2 Manual Changes 2.1 Having pulse-width modulation (PWM) for the rectangular wave on OSC1..OSC3 2.1.1 OSC1 Open B1 with a sharp cutter.

    The square Pad is now the DC Signal input for PWM. It ranges from –3.8V to 2.3V for 0% to 100%PWM or you if want to use the range 50% to 100% (the 0% to 50% do sound exactly the same), -0.75V to 2.3V. 2.2 OSC3/LFO sync with OSC1 or OSC2 For this, connect a 470pF capacitor (it may be ceramic) from TP19 (OSC1 out) or TP45 (OSC2 out) to TP46 (you may want to use a switch).

    2.5.4 Distorter The filter output is directly connected to the distorter/fuzzer selection input. Remove pin 14 from U07 from the solder pad (leave it in the air and connect R105 to it). The remaining pad is now the input for the distorter/fuzzer selection.

    5.5 Osc 3 Same as above but with TR07 as offset, TR08 as oscillator slope and TR09 as Nonlinearity correction. Do it first with Oct switch in 32' pos. Now all frequencies are half the value of the above. Correct later the Nonlinearity pot with Oct switch in the highest position until no beats are hear able to Osc 1.
