12 GLOBAL SETTINGS MENU

12.6 CV CONFIG

CV/Gate output signals are calibrated and set up in this menu.

12.6.1 CV A-D CONFIG

Each of the subpages is identical and one for each CV/Gate output exists. The list of available parame-

ters in this menu will depend on the menu settings. When the CV track is active, pressing [FUNC] + [CV

A-D] is an alternate way of opening this menu for each corresponding CV/Gate output.

Please read the following paragraphs on how to set up CV pitch control. CV pitch is conﬁgured by ﬁnding

the voltages generating two dierent notes from the synthesizer you wish to control. To get a good re-

sult, you should select the notes two or three octaves apart.

Before conﬁguring the pitch output, you should setup a gate output so that notes can be triggered on the

receiving end. You should also set up the gate and pitch parameters so that they use the same source

track for triggering notes.

Select NOTE 1 (for example C3). Then highlight VOLTAGE 1 and press the [YES] key. This will trigger a

C3 note which is played for as long as you hold down the key. While keeping [YES] pressed, adjust the

voltage until the controlled synthesizer actually plays the note C3 using [ARROW] keys [LEFT]/[RIGHT]

or DATA ENTRY KNOB A. If you don’t have a tuning device, we recommend you play the corresponding

note on one of the internal tracks and tune by ear.

Repeat the process for NOTE 2 and VOLTAGE 2, but choose, for example, C5 or C6. Finally, play some

random notes to see if they are in tune. If not, then you probably need to change from PITCH V/OCT to

PITCH HZ/V, or vice versa.

TYPE selects the type of signal that will be sent from the output. GROUNDED, PITCH V/OCT, PITCH

HZ/V, VALUE LIN, TRIG and GATE settings can be made. Depending on the selection, dierent param-

eters will be available.

GROUNDED turns the CV output o. No additional parameters available.

PITCH V/OCT should be chosen for controlling the pitch of equipment using the volt per octave

standard, which applies to most analog synthesizers.

PITCH HZ/V should be chosen for controlling the pitch of equipment using the Herz per volt stan-

dard, which applies to, for example, older Korg and Yamaha synths.

VALUE LIN is used to send out arbitrary control voltages, useful when for instance sequencing or

parameter locking any voltage-controlled parameters on analog equipment.

VALUE MIN sets the lowest allowed voltage level that can be sent from the CV/Gate output.

VALUE MAX sets the highest allowed voltage level that can be sent from the CV/Gate output.

Normally it is not dangerous to connect voltages within +/- 15 V to analog equipment, but use

these limitations if you are unsure.

TRIG is used to send out short trig pulses at the start of note events.

LENGTH selects the length of trig signals sent. Some equipment might not trig correctly on the

shortest pulses, so try dierent lengths if you experience problems when trying to trig.
