5 Music Input
This input is for the main signal to come in.
6 Output
This is the MODule8ed output. See the MODule8ion Techformation box on the next
page for more information on what happens.
7 Input Level Meters
These meters are based on the same PPM ballistic circuitry as our award winning
MicAmp. They are calibrated to help ensure that you get the right signal level in to the
unit. There are two LED’s, one above the other, for each input. The lower green one
indicates the presence of signal above about -40dBu. The upper yellow one
illuminates at around +2dB. For optimum sonic performance, the yellow LED should
be illuminating with the stronger elements in the signal. NB Like many other features
of the FwS series, this is not a hard and fast rule, but depends on the input signal.
8/9 Spectral Controls/ Activation Switch
These controls allow variation in the spectral content of the MODule8ed output. They
work on the MUSIC input signal adding OR subtracting WEIGHT at the bottom end,
and adding OR subtracting EDGE at the top. In the centre position there is no
change; clockwise adds, anti-clockwise subtracts. Their effect will vary depending on
the relationship between the two inputs.
10-13 Oscillator Controls / Activation Switch
The switch connects the internal oscillator to the MOD input of the MODule8or. The
range switch selects one of four ranges:
. The TUNE control varies the frequency over the full range and FINE
over ca ±5% from TUNE’s position respectively.
14 OSC 1 Routing Switch
This disconnects OSC1 and routes OSC2 to the MOD input of MODule8or 1,
allowing the unit to be used as a stereo module with the same effect on each channel.
15 FM Switch and Potentiometer
This routes OSC1 to the CV input of OSC2 via a potentiometer which allows you to
control the amount OSC2 is modulated by OSC1, and thus the amplitude of the
sidebands generated.
