b) CP251 S+H OUT 1 jack to MF103 AUDIO IN jack,

c) MF103 AUDIO OUT jack to Monitor Amp.

• Set Knobs and Switches as follows:

a) CP251: LFO RATE to 1 o’clock,

b) MF103: AMOUNT “ 0” ; RATE SWITCH “ HI” ; RATE “ 3” (8:30); DRIVE 9 o’clock (so LEVEL light

blinks green and yellow); OUTPUT LEVEL 3 o’clock; SWEEP midposition (“ 5” ), MODE sw itc h

on “ 12-STAGE” ; RESONANCE “ 10” .

You will hear a repeating series of pitched pulses. Each step at the S+H OUT 1 jack

creates one pulse. The pulses vary in loudness. This is because the OUT 1 steps are of

differing heights, which, in turn, is because the MF103 LFO triangular wave is being

sampled, and this waveform is not in exact synchronism with the CP251 LFO. In fact, if

you vary the setting of the MF103 RATE knob, you will hear the loudness pattern of the

pulses change. For now, leave the MF103 RATE knob at “ 3” .

Next, vary the setting of the SWEEP knob. Note that this changes the pitch of the

pulses. Return the SWEEP knob to “ 5” .

Finally, Turn the MF103 AMOUNT knob to “ 5” Now the MF103’s LFO is being sampled

and is modulating the phaser sweep, so each pulse has a different pitch as well as a

different amplitude. Experiment with all four of the MF103 performance parameter

knobs (the larger knobs). Note that the RATE knob determines the syncopation of the

pattern, the AMOUNT knob determines the depth of the pattern, the SWEEP knob

determines the pitch range of the pulses, and the RESONANCE knob determines the

quality of the pulses.
