Find the power connection header on the PCB perpendicular to the
front panel. It is located toward the top of the module and should
look like Figure A. Orient the ribbon cable so that the red line is on the bottom and oriented
with the -12V label on the connection header as in Figure B. Ensure that the connector fully
covers the header (as in Figure B) and press firmly to ensure a proper mechanical
connection. Additionally, please ensure that the connector is properly oriented on the
power connection header before powering the module (Figures C and D). Once connected
to the module, ensure that the ribbon cable connects with the red line on the bottom and to
the matching -12V on the power supply bus, as in Figure E. Warning: Improper connection
of the power supply can permantently damage the module.
Important Note:
All of the effects listed above can be fully controlled using a
continous CV signal with the exception of Room Reverb B, Non-linear
Reverb, and Delay. Though not originally designed to be controlled
using a CV signal, it is still possible to use a CV input or the
CTRL knob to adjust a parameter on each of these effects.
However, these three effects will generate digital artifacts known
as “zippering” when adjusting a parameter using the CTRL knob
or with an external CV signal. Some users may find this zippering
effect useful sonically and this was the primary motivation behind
leaving these effects available in the module. Users who wish to
have CV control over this effect are encouraged to experiment
with a stepped CV signal from modules such as a Sample and
Hold or Sequencer. This should provide a certain degree of
control over the effect parameter with a limited amount of
“zippering”.
