So in order to hear whatever the rest of the TIDAL WAVE is doing BUT with amplitude
control, simply take your OUTPUT from jack 37 (vca out)!

!

NOW...start by setting ENV TRIG SOURCE (16) to SQUARE.!
Set your LFO SPEED (4) to about 9 o clock. Set attack (13) to zero and release (14) to
about 9 o clock. You should now hear the same signal you hear coming out of the MIX
OUT jack, coming out of the VCA OUT jack EXCEPT IT WILL BE IN SHORT BURSTS
that get faster or slower as our turn up or down LFO SPEED.!

!

Trying this same setup with the switch set to TRI (triangle) will yield SIMILAR results but
the rise and fall of the triangle is different than the square, so the settings and range are
different as well as the results.!

!

For a very different result, SET THE ENV TRIG SOURCE TO RAND (random)!

!

THIS SETTING NO LONGER USES THE LFO AS ITS TRIGGER OR GATE SOURCE
AND INSTEAD USES the RANDOM TRIGGER w THRESHOLD SECTION of the
TIDAL WAVE.!
This Setting is great for creating strange “self evolving” patches or for
NON_TRADITIONAL effects. The RANDOM TRIGGER works by listening to the
OUTPUT of the WS section, comparing it with the threshold value , and then processing
the result to turn on the envelope.!

!

Depending on WHERE you set the Threshold you will either get triggers or HEAR
NOTHING.!
Remember, in RAND MODE, triggers are only created when the Threshold is crossed. !

!

THE SECOND LED (a GREEN LED) LIGHTS UP ON THE TIDAL WAVE EVERYTIME
THE THRESHOLD IS CROSSED!!!!!

15. ROUTING SWITCH. Please refer to the ROUTING DIAGRAM. !
THIS TOGGLE SWITCH CONTROLS THE INTERNAL ROUTING/ORDER of the
VCF/SINE and WS (wave folder) sections.
!
THIS SWITCH WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE VCF IF YOU PLUG STRAIGHT INTO
JACK 32 (VCF IN).!

!

WHEN FLIPPED UP, THE WAVE SECTION IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO THE DRY
INPUT (signal input)!

!

THE VCF IS CONNECTED TO THE OUTPUT OF THE WAVE SECTION!
