Jacks 12 (10 in / 2 out)
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (10) | |||
| BLEND CV | cv | -5V to 5V | Controls the active blending parameter (dry/wet, stereo spread, feedback, or reverb) depending on the current BLEND selection.1056 |
| DENSITY CV | cv | -5V to 5V | 1056 |
| FREEZE Gate | gate | -5V to 5V | Stops audio recording when gate is high, equivalent to pressing the FREEZE button.1056 |
| IN L | audio | — | Left channel stereo audio input; normalled to right channel when right is unpatched.1056 |
| IN R | audio | — | Right channel stereo audio input; receives left channel signal when unpatched.1056 |
| POSITION CV | cv | -5V to 5V | 1056 |
| SIZE CV | cv | -5V to 5V | 1056 |
| TEXTURE CV | cv | -5V to 5V | 1056 |
| TRIGGER | trigger | — | Triggers playback of a single grain; with DENSITY at noon, turns Clouds into a micro-sample player clocked by the trigger source.1056 |
| V/OCT | cv | -5V to 5V | Controls grain transposition/pitch with volt-per-octave tracking.1056 |
| Outputs (2) | |||
| OUT L | audio | — | 1056 |
| OUT R | audio | — | 1056 |
Parameters 10
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| BLEND | knob | — | Multi-function knob controlling one of four blending parameters (dry/wet balance, stereo spread, feedback, or reverb) as selected by the Blend parameter button.1056 |
| Blend parameter/Audio quality | button | — | Short press cycles through the four blending parameters; hold for one second then press repeatedly to select audio quality settings.1056 |
| DENSITY | knob | — | At noon, no grains are generated; clockwise produces randomly-timed grains, counter-clockwise produces periodically-timed grains; greater deviation increases grain overlap.1056 |
| FREEZE | button | — | Latching button that halts audio recording; granularization continues on the buffered audio already in memory.1056 |
| IN GAIN | knob | -18dB – 6dB | 1056 |
| Load/Save | button | — | 1056 |
| PITCH | knob | -2octave – 2octave | Controls grain transposition; at noon the buffer plays at its original pitch.1056 |
| POSITION | knob | — | Selects the playback position within the recording buffer; clockwise rotation moves further back in time.1056 |
| SIZE | knob | 16ms – 1000ms | 1056 |
| TEXTURE | knob | — | Morphs grain envelope shape from boxcar through triangle to Hann window; past 2 o'clock engages a diffuser network that smears transients.1056 |
