On Tanzbär's top you will find it's CV/gate interface. It puts out control voltage (CV)- and
gate signals of both note tracks. Next to this, a start/stop signal and a clock signal is sent
or received here.
• CV1: Output of pitch-CV track 1 (lead synthesizer)
• CV2: Output of pitch CV track 2 (bass synthesizer)
• CV3: Output of filter-control CV track 3 (bass synthesizer)
• Gate1: Output of gate signal track 1 (lead synthesizer)
• Gate2: Output of gate signal track 2 (bass synthesizer)
• Start: Sends or receives start/stop signal
• Sync: Sends or receives clock signal
To explore most of Tanzbär's features, you will simply need the power connection and the
main audio out.

PlAY/MAnUAl TRIGGeR MODe
First of all we want to check out some demo patterns to give you an idea of Tanzbär's
capabilities. At the same time we will learn how to "perform" with the Tanzbär, meaning
playing patterns, modify them and tweak sounds.
To play back and tweak preprogrammed sounds and patterns, we need the PLAY/
MANUAL TRIGGER MODE. To programm patterns we will go into the Record Mode
which we will explore later on.
The following figure shows an overview of the Play Mode and it's functions.
Please note that this is just an overview. Yopu may use it mainly as an
orientation guide – all the necessary operating steps are covered in detail
in the following text. So please read on carefully.
