About Yarns
Yarns is a MIDI to CV/Gate interface handling up to 4
channels of conversion, in multi-timbral or polyphonic
modes, and with built-in sequencing/arpeggiation/pat-
tern generation capabilities.
Standards
Gates are +5V, positive polarity (ON = +5V).
CVs are 1 V/Oct, 0V = MIDI note 36.
Installation
Yarns requires a -12V / +12V power supply (2x5 pins
connector). The red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V side)
must be oriented on the same side as the “Red stripe”
marking on the board.
The power consumption is as follows:
-12V: 2mA ; +12V: 60mA.

Layouts
1M: monophonic
4T: quad triggers
4P: quadraphonic
4M: 4x monophonic
2P: duophonic
2M: 2x monophonic
2>, 4> and 8> are chaining modes: half of the notes are
handled by Yarns, the rest forwarded to the MIDI out.
Navigation
Use the encoder to scroll through the list of param-
eters. Observe that the full name of the parameter
temporarily scrolls on the display.
Click the encoder, and turn it to modify the parameter.
Click to confirm and get back to the list of parameters.
Essential parameters
: selects the number of conversion channels
and their grouping into polyphonic parts. Refer to the
previous pages.
TE(MPO): is the tempo for the clock and sequencer. Set
to to sync Yarns with an external MIDI clock.
The tap tempo button can also be used to set the tempo.
PA(RT) : in multitimbral modes (such as 2M, 4M, 4T), this
selects the active part to modify. Most settings - such as
MIDI channel, arpeggiator range, etc. are relative to the
selected part.
: MIDI reception channel.
, PO(RTAMENTO): legato mode and portamen-
to speed.
