3. Indicators
1 LED ... 6 LED
LEDs 1 to 6 indicate the status of each of the sub-
divided frequencies at outputs § to (.
4. In / Outputs
! Trig. In
Trigger input: patch the frequency to be divided in
here.
" Res. In
Socket " is the reset input for the A-160. When a
reset voltage is sensed, all outputs go to zero, for as
long as the reset voltage is present. (ie. a ‘static
reset’)
H With a Clock Sequencer (A-161) connected,
every time the A-160 senses a reset signal,
the A-161 returns to output ! .
P With the help of the reset input, you can
produce sequences with less than eight
steps. For instance, by patching output / of
the A-161 to the reset input socket " of the
A-160 you get a six-step sequence. (Instead
of going to step seven, it resets to step one.)
§ /2 ... ( /64
Sockets § to ( are the A-160 outputs, from which the
sub-divided clock signals are available.
5. User examples
"Ping-Pong" effect
The patch in Fig. 1 produces a "Ping-Pong" effect: with
each note on the keyboard (gate signal) the audio
jumps between left and right outputs - Out
L
and Out
R
.
The A-160 is halving the gate frequency, and trigge-
ring the A-150 VCS, so that each of its outputs is
active only every other note.
ADSR envelope with re-triggering
In the patch in Fig. 2, an ADSR is re-triggered by a
square wave LFO, sub-divided in the A-160 by a factor
of four (output $). The original whole LFO oscillation is
patched to the re-trigger input on the ADSR. In this
way, a new repeating envelope is created.
