SETUP EXAMPLES
The versatile Analog Four yearns to play with other machines. Whether it uses its ability to sequencer control
and play other analog synths using CV, plays its part in a MIDI chain of machines or processes amplified incom-
ing audio: the Analog Four gets along with other gear. Vintage or modern. Five examples are shown here.
ANALOG FOUR CONTROL OF AN EXTERNAL ANALOG SYNTHESIZER
The CV/Gate track of the Analog Four is made for controlling external, CV/Gate equipped, analog gear. In this
scenario, a vintage analog synthesizer is controlled by the Analog Four. The pitch and filter cutoff will be con-
trolled.
1.
Connect two standard insert/Y cables (or one Y cable and a standard mono phone cable) to the Analog
Four CV AB and CV CD outputs.
2.
Connect the tip cable of the CV AB insert cable to the external synth pitch CV control input. This cable will
control the pitch of the external synth.
3.
Connect the ring cable of the CV AB insert cable to the external synth gate input. This cable will open the
envelope of the external synth.
4.
Connect the tip cable of the CV CD insert/Y cable (or the mono phone cable) to the external synth filter CV
input. This cable will control the filter cutoff of the external synth.
5.
While on the CV track, press [FUNCTION] + [CV A]. In this menu, set TYPE to PITCH V/OCT. Exit the
menu.
