USING AN EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR WITH THE ANALOG FOUR

The CV/Gate outputs and the external inputs allow an external oscillator to be used with the internal Analog
Four oscillators. Use this trick when you want a different (perhaps old, quirky and unpredictable yet charming)
oscillator to provide the fundamental tone but still want the control and modulation power of the Analog Four.

In this setup example, the CV track will trig the oscillator of an external analog synth. The output of this oscillator
will be routed to left input of the Analog Four. Synth track 1 of the Analog Four will control the pitch of both the
internal oscillators and the external oscillator. The filters and envelopes of track 1 will shape both the internal
and the external oscillators.

1.

Connect a standard mono phone (or insert/Y) cable to the Analog Four CV AB output.

2.

Connect the output of the external oscillator to the left external input

3.

Connect the mono phone (or tip of the insert/Y) cable from CV AB to the pitch CV control input of the exter-
nal synth.

4.

Select the CV track and press [FUNCTION] + [CV A]. In this menu, depending on the specification of the
external analog synth, set TYPE to either PITCH V/OCT or PITCH Hz/V. Exit the menu.

5.

Set the SRC parameter of the CV A page to TR1. This will make the CV track send out pitch voltages
according to the note trigs on synth track 1.
