NOTE: I’ve added a lot of extra information from the manual to this document to make it easier to understand these controls.
Orientation
Orient the module so that the single knob in the middle of the module is at the top, with the jacks all located at the bottom.
Notes
This module is really cool once you learn it, but it can be confusing. There are multiple modes packed within the module, and within those modes you have a separate page that performs a different operation. I will document the color for each mode, but past this point will always use the name of the mode—not the color—to be most helpful. Note that these modes don’t have official names, I’m just giving them shorter forms based on the manual’s descriptions. Also note that for my own sanity, I’ve split this module into multiple modules almost, where page2 of each mode gets its own section. I will list the primary function followed by the function of that knob for that page.
At the bottom of the module above the jacks is an inverted u-shape of controls with a switch in the middle. All of these have tactile lines you can feel.
The modes are as follows:
- YELLOW:SWARM
- GREEN:TRADITIONAL
- ORANGE:CHORD ENGINE
