ANALOG CONTROLS











PITCH CONTROL
This section determines how the pitch control voltage affects the oscillators.

GLIDE TIME: If more than one note is played at a time by a MIDI controller or sequencer connected to
the MIDI input of the XS, the XS will activate its internal glide circuit which will slew the voltage from
one note to another at the rate set by this control. With this control rotated fully counter-clockwise, the
glide time from one pitch to another will be instant, with no apparent slewing of pitch. The glide time
will increase as you rotate this control in the clockwise direction.

CV TRACK: This control determines which source each oscillator will use to control its pitch.
In the A B position, both oscillators will be controlled by MIDI notes received.
In the A BX position, Oscillator A will respond to MIDI notes received, while
Oscillator B will be controlled by an external voltage inserted into the CV IN jack.
In the AX B position, Oscillator A will be controlled by an external voltage
inserted into the CV IN jack, while Oscillator B will be controlled by MIDI notes
received.
In the ABX position, both oscillators will be controlled by an external voltage
inserted into the CV IN jack.

Note: If no signal is inserted into the CV IN jack, and one or both of the oscillators are selected to use
the external control voltage, these oscillators will produce a stationary pitch that can be useful for
certain effects.
