Initial Tuning
Once the MIDI and audio connections have been made it may be necessary to tune in the VCOs to
the rest of your music set-up. Allow a five minute warm up time.
First set up the controls of Telemark to make a simple sound. It is usually best to leave the VCA at
ON. Turn VCO2 to zero volume so you can only hear VCO1.
Play, say, middle C on the keyboard. Using a digital keyboard as a reference, adjust the course or
fine tuning of VCO1 until it plays in tune with your reference.
Finally, turn up VCO2 so both VCOs can be heard. Using the tune controls of VCO2, tune it to VCO1.
Circuit in Details
Here follows details on all the sockets and controls, with brief simplified explanations of what the
circuits do. We have not gone into technical details on how or exactly what each circuit does but
tried to explain each control's function and effect.
This synth has been designed to be simple and intuitive to use, just like the original analogue
synths of the 70s and 80s. There are no multi-layered menus to work through.
Anyone who has used synthesisers before should be familiar with the terms used and therefore be
able to predict their behaviour and how they affect the sound. The best way to learn how to use
Telemark is to go straight ahead and play with it. Reading of this manual may only be necessary
for finer operational detail.
