Mysteron Interface

1. Coarse Pitch Panel Control: Sets length of waveguide or perceived pitch of sound, roughly 5 octaves.

Quantized Mode at Full CCW.

2. Mystery LED: Lights to indicate Mutations, flashes slowly on Bowed/ Cross-FeedBack Modes, and flashes

quickly in Quantized Mode.

3. OUTput: around 10Vpp max (depending upon settings esp. IMPULSE), AC coupled.

4. Fine Pitch Control: adjust perceived pitch by +/- 12%.

5. Pitch 1 CV Attenuator: bi-polar attenuator for Pitch 1 CV IN.

6. Pitch 1 CV IN: exponential pitch control input. Not applicable in Quantized Mode. Range +/-5V.

7. Pitch 2 CV IN: exponential pitch control input. 0V to +5V, 0V to +3V in Quantize Mode. Response 1V/Oct.

Engage Quantize Mode for superior tracking.

8. Excite LEDs: indicate excitation of the Mysteron.

9. Excite Inputs: Gate inputs for excitation. Mysteron will create no sound unless you patch something

to at least one of these inputs. Requires Clock/ Gate signal amplitude of at least 1.5V and

width of at least 6ms.

10. IMPULSE: sets strength of excitation, allowing for control over amplitude and harmonics. Operates as

Combo Knob, with nothing patched to IMPULSE CV IN, works as standard panel control. With

Signal Patched to IMPULSE CV IN, works as an attenuator for that signal. Must be set greater

than 0% to achieve audible sound.

11. IMPULSE CV IN: unipolar control input. Range 0V to +5V.
