REAR PANEL

The Werkstatt’s rear panel features two connection points; one audio out-

put, and one power jack.

POWER INPUT

Use only the DC power supply that was provided to power your Werkstatt.

Plug the connector end into the Werkstatt, and plug the other end into a

compatible wall outlet.

ABOVE AND BEYOND

For some, the Werkstatt is simply a starting point for exploring new

sonic possibilities. It is possible to modify the internal circuitry, and to

interface with other music-making devices. Here are a few guidelines to get

you started.

INTERFACING WITH OTHER SYNTHESIZERS AND EFFECTS

COMMON GROUND

ThePatchableHeaderwasn’tspecicallydesignedtoconnectwith

external CV gear, but it is possible to do so. If a CV connection be-

tween an external piece of CV gear and the Werkstatt is desired, the

two devices must share a common ground connection or the external

control will not work. The simplest way to achieve this is to plug the two

devices into the same audio mixer. Both devices will have ground at the

sleeve of their audio jacks. Make this audio / ground connection before

connecting the units together.

USE CAUTION

Patching to external CV and Audio sources can subject the Werkstatt

to voltages and currents that are beyond what it was designed to

withstand. Caution should be exercised when selecting gear that will

connect to the Werkstatt. Verify that the equipment used to provide a

commongroundconnectionisnotfaulty.RefertotheSpecications

section for acceptable voltages.
