Summary of Contents for Vermona fourMulator

  • Page 1 - Owner's Manual...

  • Page 2: Introduction

    Its four sync able, phase-variable and CV- controllable LFOs are able to create trigger-sequences that can be varied in real time thanks to a comfortable user interface. fourMulator acts as a modulation- as well as clock-central and is capable of being your new clock-reference for your modular synthesizer.

    • four patch chords (2x15cm, 2x30cm) • this manual Setup The fourMulator was designed to work in modular synthesizer systems using the common euro rack format. Its power supply, connectors and dimensions match the specifications of Doepfer's A100 modular synthe- sizer system and compatible units.

The unit requires a width of 34 HP (horizontal pitch) and is rack-mounted with the four supplied screws. NOTE To protect the unit's surface of scratches, use the supplied flat plastic washers.

    For those with deeper interest, here are a few specifications for newcomers and experts. fourMulator outputs CV-voltages with a range between +5 and -5 volts, a total range of 10 volts. Note that some modules are not designed to han- dle negative voltages.

    Picture 2: Controls and Connectors of the fourMulator Control elements of the four modulators The LFOs/modulators in the fourMulator are built identically. The corre- sponding identical functions are only described once, while the differ- ences in synchronization and phase shift are described separately.
  • Page 10 The SPEED control adjusts the modulators' speed. SPEED covers a range from approx. 0.05Hz to 100Hz. Therefore, modulations with audible fre- quencies are only possible within limits. The fourMulator's focus within the sub audio range is intended because higher frequencies would not make sense for use of the unit as clock-/trigger-generator or for recipro- cal modulations.

    (8) TAP button Use this button to set the tempo for fourMulator's internal clock. A tempo change will occur after tapping the button four times. For pre- dictable results, tap in a constant rhythm.

    (10) Clock input (CLK IN) This jack allows feeding an external clock signal into the fourMulator. With this input being used, the internal clock is automatically dis- connected from the modulators. By setting the SYNC switch to CLK, the external clock will be used.

    LFOs run statically. This might be desirable for some applications, while for others this behavior appears lifeless. Because of their ability to be CV-controlled, the LFOs in the fourMulator can act more organic. To do so, create a modulation between two modulators and vice versa, the so called cross-modulation.

    Picture 5: Patch Example - Crossmodulation Clock yourself fourMulator offers the possibility to enter the clock tempo using the TAP button. However, continuous tempo changes using a control are still pos- sible. To do so, simply connect the TRIGGER output of a modulator to CLK IN.
