NameSignalVoltageDescription
Outputs (2)
CV OUTcv0V to 10VOutputs a CV proportional to finger position on the slider, swinging from near 0V to 5V or 10V depending on the range jumper.942
GATEgate≤5VGate output that goes high when the slider is touched; can be reconfigured as an external gate input via the G_I/O jumper on the back.942

Parameters 4

NameTypeRangeBehavior
Board Orientation JumperjumperSets which side of the module has the CV and GATE connectors, allowing the module to be mounted in either orientation.942
CV Range Jumperjumper5V – 10VSelects whether the CV output swings 0–5V or 0–10V.942
Gate I/O JumperjumperConfigures the GATE jack as either an output (default) or an external gate input for triggering loop recording.942
REC/MODE ButtonbuttonCycles through LIVE, HOLD, and REC modes; also starts/stops loop recording when held while finger is on the slider.942
