MANUAL TRIGGER

What is Manual Trigger?

The Manual Trigger is to control the cut-off/resonance by triggering the Envelope manually pressing the

TRIGGER key at the desired point.

The Manual Trigger triggers the Envelope only when the TRIGGER key is pressed, not like the Envelope

being triggered cyclically by the Groove Modulator with the specified timing of BEAT module.

Triggering Envelope with Manual Trigger

First, you need to decide what to control with the

Envelope, by pressing the CUTOFF key, RESO

key or both.

Press the TRIGGER key.

When the key is pressed, the Envelope is

triggered on and it’s triggered off as you release

the key.

The shape of Envelope is as set by the A/D/S/R

knobs and its depth by the DEPTH knob.

Note: When the TRIGGER key is pressed while

the Groove Modulator is controlling the cut-off/resonance, the control is cancelled (LFO/ENVELOPE key

off) and the Envelope is triggered. Press the LFO/ENVELOPE key again to resume the control by the

Groove Modulator.

Controlling Cut-off on Mono and Stereo channels simultaneously

It is required that the signals are available on both the MONO IN and STEREO IN inputs and their signals

are fed through the filter modules (x-POLE keys are lit).

Link function

Pressing the LINK key (key is lit) enables the cut-off control of both Mono and Stereo channels simultaneously

with the CUTOFF knob on the Mono channel.

Turn the LINK key on.

Now rotate the CUTOFF knob on the Mono channel. The sound of Mono and Stereo channels change

simultaneously. The CUTOFF knob on the Stereo channel has no effect while the Link function is on.

While the ADSR settings are as shown and

applied to Cutoff, pressing the TRIGGER key to trigger

Envelope makes the cutoff frequency to change as il-

lustrated.
