Looking over the faceplate of the
0-Coast, we will see a number of patch
points that are not connected by gold
wire to any others. To begin, set up the
Default Sound Drone (Figure 9). The
patch cable used to create this sound is a
perfect example of a connection that is
not hardwired or Normalled. The output
from the Offset Generator is used to hold
the DYNAMICS circuit "open" so that the
sound from the Balance circuit passes
through at all times. Without this patch
connection, the DYNAMICS circuit will
only open during the duration of an
envelope from CONTOUR from a MIDI
or Gate event.
Set BALANCE to 12:00 or higher so that
you can hear the effect of manipulating
the OVERTONE control. Set OVERTONE to fully counterclockwise (Figure 60).
Patch the Random output to the OVERTONE CV Input.
The RANDOM Signal OUT will pass through the patch cable to the
OVERTONE CV IN Jack to the OVERTONE CV Attenuator and from there it
will go on to modulate the OVERTONE circuit. Turn the Attenuator up
gradually to hear increasing Modulation Depth. Note that if the OVERTONE
Panel Control is turned fully Clockwise, you will not hear any modulation
(Figure 59). This is because the OVERTONE Panel Control sets the base
value to which the Modulation will be "added.” If it is already at maximum,
it cannot be modulated any further. When Panel Control is set to 12 o’
Clock and the CV Attenuator is set Full CCW, there will also be no
Modulation because the CV Attenuator set Full CCW will reduce the
Modulation to 0%. Setting the Attenuator to Full CW will achieve 50%
Modulation depth and setting the Panel Control to the Full CCW will
achieve 100% Modulation. You can change the CLocK rate by tapping the
PGM_B button at the rate you would like the clock to go (if this does not
work, see Page 6 “Normalizations”).
Random modulation is just one of many possible patches to the OVERTONE
CV Input. Try another source, such as the SLOPE circuit (remember to
engage CYCLing). Hear how periodic modulation differs from random
modulation. Try adjusting the controls in the MULTIPLY circuit to hear what
it sounds like to modulate MULTIPLY and OVERTONE simultaneously
(remember, SLOPE is
normalled to control
MULTIPLY). Remember, you
can patch any output to any
input. We'll briefly describe
all the outputs and inputs in
this manual, but even the
most thorough description
will not cover all of the patch
connections that are
possible.
