OCTAVE (LO, MED, HI):

Selects the Octave parameter, which adjusts the octave setting of both oscillators. The three available

octave settings are LO, MED and HI, which correspond to octave settings of 32’, 16’ and 8’.

MIX:

Selects the Mix parameter, which allows the outputs of Oscillator A and B to be mixed in varying

amounts. A Mix value of ‘0’ is the equivalent to 100% Oscillator A and 0% Oscillator B. A Mix setting of

‘4095’ is just the opposite. A setting of ‘2047’ is essentially a 50/50 mix of both oscillators.

ATTACK, SUSTAIN, DECAY:

The last three switches in the Oscillator panel select the Attack, Sustain and Decay parameters for the

Volume Envelope Generator. The Attack time parameter is adjustable from 5 to 560 msec. The Decay

time parameter is adjustable from 50 msec to 2.8 seconds. The Sustain level parameter is adjustable

from 0 to 100%. The DECAY footswitch (located below the control panel) applies the Decay segment

to the release of a note when it is switched ON. When the DECAY footswitch is OFF, the release time

is instantaneous.

GLIDE:

Selects the Glide parameter, which sets glide rate between notes. The glide rate can vary from virtu-

ally instantaneous to a very long glide (approximately 5 seconds per octave) when set to the maximum

value. The GLIDE footswitch, located below the control panel, turns the Glide effect ON/OFF.

Additional CV control:

The PITCH jack on the side-panel is a CV input for external control of the oscillator pitch. This input

controls the frequencies of both oscillators. A 1-volt change of this voltage will change the pitch by

NOMINALLY one octave. The jack accepts 0 to +5 volts, or an expression pedal like the Moog EP-2.

The GATE jack on the side panel is a trigger input that accepts a Gate trigger signal (+5V). A Gate trig-

ger applied to this input will cause both envelope generators (Volume and Filter) to trigger.
