CV connections
On the back of the RPG-8 you can find a number of useful CV connectors. These are as follows:
CV Inputs
There are five CV inputs, of which four can be used to control RPG-8 parameters that have associated controls on
the front panel. These parameters are Gate Length, Velocity, Rate and Octave Shift.
If you use an external source to modulate these parameters, the incoming CV is merged with the setting on the front
of the device.
An example: Velocity is set to 50 on the front panel. A Matrix (bi-polar curve) that varies between +- 20, with the volt-
age trim pot set to 64 (50%) is connected to the Velocity CV input. The resulting Velocity should then vary between
40-60.
In addition to the above CV inputs, there is a “Start of Arpeggio Trig In” connector. This restarts the arpeggio figure
from step 1 when this input receives a gate trigger. See “Triggering arpeggios” for a tip on how this can be used. If
something is connected to this input the RPG-8 will not generate arpeggios unless a Gate trigger is received.
Note: If you are modulating the arpeggio using the CV Input jacks, this will not affect the rendered arpeggio notes.
