ANALOG CONTROLS
ACCENT The accent control adjusts the amount of affect the filter’s envelope will have on both the
filter’s cutoff frequency and the amplitude of the sound when notes are programmed with an accent
in the sequencer. When this control is turned clockwise, the filter’s cutoff frequency will sweep up
for the duration of the accent decay, and the overall amplitude for accented notes will increase
accordingly with the setting of this control and the accent decay time. When this control is turned
counter-clockwise, accented notes will play at normal volume, however the filter’s envelope decay
will still jump to the shortest possible decay time set by the accent decay control.
ACC DECAY The accent decay control sets the shortest possible time for the filter’s envelope.
When notes are programmed with an accent in the sequencer, the filter’s envelope will use this accent
decay time to sweep the filter’s cutoff frequency, as well as boost the amplitude of the overall sound.
When this control is turned clockwise, the filter sweep time becomes longer, and accented notes will
play at a louder amplitude for a longer period of time. When turned counter-clockwise, the filter
envelope will be capable of creating short tight blips, and you may hear little or no affect on the
amplitude of the sound.
Note:
We have increased the range of this control to provide shorter and longer accent decay times
than the TB303 was capable of. To recreate the original accent decay time of the TB303, set the
accent decay control to the approximate position shown in the picture above.
CV MOD This control-voltage modulation amount control is used to make the filter’s cutoff
frequency follow the pitch of notes programmed into the sequencer. When an external modulation
signal is inserted into the CV IN jack on the rear panel, this external signal can then modulate the
filter’s cutoff frequency instead of following the pitches programmed into the sequencer.
Turning this control clock-wise allows the internal pitches, or external modulation signal to have a
greater affect on the filter’s cutoff frequency. When this control is turned counter-clockwise the
internal or external control voltages will have little or no affect on the filter’s cutoff frequency.
VOLUME The volume control adjusts the amount of audio signal sent to both the MAIN
OUTPUT and PHONES OUTPUT.
