Connections
Flipping the Malström around reveals a wide array of connection possibilities. Most of these are CV/Gate related. Us-
ing CV/Gate is described in the chapter “Routing Audio and CV”.
Audio Output
These are the Malström’s audio outputs. When you create a new Malström device, they are auto-routed to the first
available channel on the audio mixer:
• Shaper/Filter:A (left) & Filter:B (right)
These are the main stereo outputs. Each of the two filters are connected to a separate output, and by connecting
both, you can have stereo output. Whether the output really will be in stereo however, is determined by the routing
and the Spread parameter. See “Routing” for details about this.
• Osc:A & osc:B
These make it possible to output the sound directly after the Amp Envelope of each oscillator, bypassing the filter
section. Connecting one or both of these to a channel on the audio mixer will break the Malström’s internal signal
chain. That is, it is not possible to process the sound by using the filters and the shaper of the Malström. the sound
instead goes directly to the mixer.
q Note also that you can connect the outputs Osc:A & Osc:B to the Audio Inputs on the Malström for some inter-
esting effects - see “Routing external audio to the filters”.
Audio Input
• Shaper/Filter:A
• Filter:B
These inputs let you connect either other audio sources, or the Malström’s own internal signal directly to the filters
and the shaper - see “Routing external audio to the filters”.
Sequencer Control
The Sequencer Control CV and Gate inputs allow you to play the Malström from another CV/Gate device (typically a
Matrix or a Redrum). The signal to the CV input controls the note pitch, while the signal to the Gate input delivers note
on/off along with velocity.
! For best results, you should use the Sequencer Control inputs with monophonic sounds.
