Electrocution hazard! Bus board connection cable cable. Do not touch any electrical terminals when attaching any eurorack bus board cable. The make noise brains is an electronic music module requiring 10ma of +12vdc and 0 ma of -12vdc regulated voltage and a properly formatted distribution receptacl...

Jumper and cable connections: (power connections for each module not shown for clarity.) single pressure points with no brains attached: note all the "close 4 master" locations are closed, as well as the expand headers. Two pressure points, chained: note that the "close 4 master" headers are closed ...

Brains with a single pressure points: note the single open "close 4 master" header, the brains cable connected from "points 1-4" header to expand header, and the jumper on brains set to "1pp.” 6 jumper and cable connections: (con’t) jumpers points 5-8 points 1-4 brains brains with two pressure point...

1. Clock input: a rising edge of clock, pulse or trigger (of at least 1v) advances to next stage of pressure points. Patch here to sequence. 2. Reset input: jumps to last touched stage on rising edge of clock, gate, pulse or trigger, of at least 1v. 3. Run input: gate or voltage of at least 1v tells...

8 brains is a clocked sequential binary event machine, intended to be connected to tactile controllers such as the pressure points. Once connected, pressure points provides data input to brains in the form of touch-selectable reset stage and hold stage. Pressure points also provides the tuned voltag...

Tips & tricks 9 single shot: patch any one of the 3 tuned voltage outputs to run input. Set all pots in the corresponding row to full cw. Sequence should play through all stages. Now set the pot at the stage where you want the sequence to stop, full ccw. Brains counts to this stage and stops. Touchi...

Patch examples: 10 voltage controlled pendulum: with sequence running, patch the gate output from stage 8 (or 4, or ?) to the trigger input of maths ch. 4. Take eoc output from maths, patch to brains direction input. Set maths ch. 4 rise to 12:00, fall to 3:00 and response to linear. The sequence sh...

Patch examples: 11 ueg, marf, arf like: begin with the buchla 250e style movement patch. Now patch the output of the middle row of tuned voltages to maths ch. 4 signal input. Set rise and fall panel controls to 12:00. Set response to linear. Signal output on maths ch. 4 is your cv output, patch it t...
