C4RBN, AKA Carbon
Orientation
This is a very narrow module (4 HP), with a single column of knobs running down the middle. Orient it so the three knobs are at the top and the field of ten jacks fills the bottom half.
Layout Overview
From top to bottom: three knobs, then ten jacks arranged in two columns of five rows. Between the second and third knob to the left and right are buttons. The knobs have a defined tactile marker per knob.
Knobs and Buttons (top half)
- FREQ — top knob. To its upper-left, stacked vertically along the left edge, are three labels each with an LED: “HP”, “BP”, “LP” (top to bottom).
- FM — second knob, below FREQ. To its right are the labels “FOLD” and “SAT”, each with an LED.
- Two small round buttons sit between the FM knob and the RES knob, one near the left edge and one near the right edge. The left button belongs with the HP/BP/LP labels; the right button belongs with the FOLD/SAT labels.
- RES — third knob, below FM, just above the jack field.
Jacks (bottom half)
Ten jacks in two columns and five rows, each labeled. Left column, top to bottom:
- SAT
- FM
- IN
- BP (OUT)
- LP (OUT)
Right column, top to bottom:
- PING
- RES
- V/OCT
- HP (OUT)
- 4P (OUT)
Read as rows, top to bottom: SAT and PING; FM and RES; IN and V/OCT; BP and HP; LP and 4P.
Notes
- The wavefolder only applies to the 4P output.
- The 4P output uses the button on the left to switch between HP, BP, and LP. There are LEDs that show these, but you can also tell by ear as well.
- The frequency won’t change instantly when you push the HP/BP/LP button. This is for performance purposes; you can tap and hold the button and when you let go, it will instantly shift. Otherwise it will shift after about a second.
