LFO AMOUNT - Sets the overall amount of modulation of the delay time
by the LFO.
Note: As the LFO Amount increases, the functional range of the Delay Time control
is decreased, so that the maximum and minimum delay times are not exceeded.
BYPASS - Used to turn the Effect On and Off. When the effect is On, the
Bypass LED is Green. When the effect is Off, the Bypass LED is Red.
TAP TE MPO - Dedicated switch used for setting the LFO Rate to a musical
tempo. To initiate Tap Tempo control of the LFO, press the Tap Tempo switch
three times with the tempo you want (1/4 notes). On the third press, the
LFO Rate LED will change to Green, and the LFO will change rates to match
the timing of the switch presses. If you continue to press the Tap Tempo
switch, the LFO Rate will be set by a running average of the time between
switch presses. To start over, wait five seconds and then press the Tap
tempo switch three times to set a new tempo. To revert the unit to Panel
control, simply move the LFO Rate control. The LFO Rate LED will light up
Red, and the LFO will set by the panel control.
Note: When the LFO is synchronized to MIDI Clock messages, Tap Tempo is disabled.
MIDI INDICATOR LED - Lights up Red when the unit receives a MIDI message.
Un-implemented MIDI messages do not light up the MIDI LED.
THE CLUSTER FLUX BACK PANEL
AUDIO IN - 1⁄4” unbalanced audio input. The Cluster Flux accepts signals
from Instrument to Line-level.
L/MONO OUT - 1⁄4” unbalanced audio output. When the effect is on, this
output carries the Dry and Wet signal blend set on the front panel Mix
control. The level is determined by the Drive and Output Level controls.
Note: The phase of the Wet signal is not inverted in relation to the Dry signal.
When the effect is off, the input signal passes only through a high-quality buffer on
its way to the output.
R OUT - 1⁄4” unbalanced audio output. This output can be used as a second
output in Stereo applications. The default configuration is that the Right
Output carries a mix of the Dry signal plus the inverted Wet signal. When
the outputs are panned hard left and right, this creates a rich stereo effect.
In this mode, when both outputs are mixed together and panned to the
center the wet signal is cancelled. Refer to the section entitled “Output
Configuration” for information on other stereo output modes.
FEEDBACK (FB) INSERT - 1⁄4” TRS jack designed to be used with a standard
insert cable to process the BBD feedback signal path separate from the
Dry signal path. This is an unbalanced, Line-level output and input. The
BBD output signal appears at the tip of the jack, and the return to the
device is applied to the ring of the jack. Because these are line level signals,
some means of attenuation or amplification may be required if using
devices designed for lower signal levels, such as typical guitar stomp-boxes.
FEEDBACK - 1⁄4” TRS jack that can be used with a Moog EP-2 expression
pedal, or a 0V to +5V control voltage on a standard TS cable
To change the feedback from full negative to full positive via control
voltage or expression pedal, set the Feedback control to center position.
TIME - 1⁄4” TRS jack that can be used with a Moog EP-2 expression pedal,
or a 0V to +5V control voltage on a standard TS cable
To change the delay time for a selected RANGE from longest to shortest
via control voltage or expression pedal, set the Delay TIME control to
center position.
LFO RATE - 1⁄4” TRS jack that can be used with a Moog EP-2 expression
pedal, or a 0V to +5V control voltage on a standard TS cable
To use an expression pedal to modify the LFO Rate (05 Hz to 50 Hz) set
the LFO Rate to center position. Rotate the LFO RATE knob counterclockwise.
With a 0V control voltage applied to the LFO Rate CV input, the LFO Rate
can be reduced to half of the minimum panel rate. (.025 Hz) Now rotate
the LFO Rate control fully Clockwise. With a +5V control voltage applied
to the LFO Rate CV input, the LFO Rate can be increased to double the
maximum panel rate. (100 Hz)
LFO AMOUNT - 1⁄4” TRS jack that can be used with a Moog EP-2 expression
pedal, or a 0V to +5V control voltage on a standard TS cable
To modify the LFO AMOUNT from minimum to maximum via control voltage
or expression pedal, set the LFO AMOUNT control to center position
MIX - 1⁄4” TRS jack that can be used with a Moog EP-2 expression pedal,
or a 0V to +5V control voltage on a standard TS cable
To change the Mix from Dry to Wet via control voltage or expression pedal
set the MIX control to center position

device such as a MIDI controller or a computer sequencer.
