Make Noise Brains - Manual (Page 7)

BRAINS is a clocked sequential binary event machine, intended to be connected to tactile
controllers such as the Pressure Points.
Once connected, Pressure Points provides data input to BRAINS in the form of
touch-selectable Reset stage and Hold stage. Pressure Points also provides the tuned
voltages and Pulses per stage. BRAINS, when connected to either 1 or 2 Pressure Points,
will drive the stage selection in a sequential fashion, at a rate determined by the incoming
clock at CLocK IN, thus forming a 4-Step or 8-Step 3-channel analog sequencer. Binary
control over Direction of the stage selection, RUN/ Stop and ReSeT are provided.
Touch-GATE OUT
The only output on BRAINS, producing a Gate HIGH signal whenever the connected
Pressure Points is touched.
Touch-CLocK IN
Serves a dual purpose. Used without a Master Clock applied to the CLocK IN, Events
initiated by touching Pressure points will be Quantized to the timing signal applied to
Touch-CLocK IN. When used along with the CLocK IN, a secondary sequence will be
initiated whenever Pressure Points is touched, where the length and timing is determined by
the relationship of the Touch-CLocK to the Master CLocK. Even divisions of the Master
CLocK will produce tame variations of the main sequence. Non-Synchronized clocks will
produce ???
