Overriding Normals
The "Open Connections" section showed the many places in which it is possible to expand your use of the 0-Coast without
changing anything about its Normal operation. In this section we will show patch connections with the potential to override
that operation entirely.
The 0-Coast utilizes switching jacks on some of its inputs and outputs. These jacks have the capability of receiving two
dierent signals depending on whether a patch cable is physically present. Plugging a cable
into a jack with a normalization bypasses said signal and replaces it with whatever you patch in. Here is a list of the normalled
connections within the 0-Coast that may be removed by patching to the associated jack:
Multiply CV Input:
Multiply is controlled by SLOPE in normal operation. Try taking MIDI B CV patched to this input set to C3 to accomplish
something similar to "Keyboard tracking" found on subtractive monosynths in the "East-Coast" paradigm.
Contour GATE Input
The Contour circuit is normally engaged by the Gate from MIDI A. Try patching a dierent clock or gate source such as the
CLocK output while still using MIDI to control pitch..
BALANCE Input
Normally, we set the BALANCE between the Fundamental Triangle Core and Overtone circuits. Using this input we could
replace the Triangle with the Square wave, or even with audio from a source outside the 0-Coast.
DYNAMICs CV Input
The Dynamics circuit is normally controlled by the CONTOUR generator. Patching an oset results in a Drone, as we have
used to demonstrate concepts throughout the manual. Other potential sources include the SLOPE generator, CLocK Out,
EON, EOC, Stepped Random and more.
