JENA THE LEIBNIZ BINARY SUBSYSTEM binary transfunctioner operator’s manual rev. 1989/X1/1.
module explained close attention to power cable pinout and orientation. The red stripe indicates the negative rail and should match the dot or –12V mark on the bus board as well as the unit. Jena is internally secured against reversed power connection, however rotating the 16-pin header may cause serious damage to other components of your system, because it will short circuit the +12V and +5V power lines.
case. Again, pay attention to the markings on the boards and always connect the ribbon cable so that the red stripe matches the dot mark on the board. For technical reasons, these dot marks may not always face down. be careful, as wrong connections may damage the delicate digital circuits! All units should be fastened by mounting the supplied screws before powering up. The front panel of Jena (fig. 2) features all the controls as well as a 1+3 digit LED display.

Jena’s processed data may be delivered to its output synchronously with the incoming clock period, or it can be re-sampled with the internal (also very fast) clock.

Please refer to the online version of this manual for a complete listing of available rhythms. We strongly advise using the synchronous regime with this bank. To produce loops with proper tempo, the period of the sequence should be derived from an appropriately slow wave.
