Tips & Tricks
Single Shot:
Patch any one of the 3 tuned voltage outputs to RUN IN. Set all pots in the corresponding
row to full CW. Sequence should play through all stages. Now set the pot at the stage where
you want the sequence to stop, Full CCW. BRAINS counts to this stage and stops. Touching
any stage other than the stage where the sequence is stopped, will run the sequence until
the stop stage is reached.
Knight Rider KIT Style sequencing: with sequence running, patch the Gate OUT from Stage
8 to the Trigger IN of MATHS CH. 4. Take EOC OUT from MATHS, patch to BRAINS
DIRection IN. Set MATHS CH. 4 Rise to NOON, FALL to Full CW and Response to LINear.
Patch Gate OUT from Stage 1 to MATHS CH. 4 BOTH Control IN. Sequence should travel
back and forth like KIT car from Knight Rider.
Voltage Controlled Pendulum:
With sequence running, patch the Gate OUT from Stage 8 (or 4, or ?) to the Trigger IN of
MATHS CH. 4. Take EOC OUT from MATHS, patch to BRAINS DIRection IN. Set MATHS
CH. 4 Rise to NOON, FALL to 3 o' CLock and Response to LINear. Sequence will probably
be traveling BWD at this point, but it really depends upon the rate of the incoming clock at
BRAIN CLK IN. By setting or modulating the FALL parameter of CH. 4, you will have control
over the direction of the sequence and how long sequence travels in that direction.
Touch Controlled Pattern Length:
With sequence running, patch the Gate OUT from Stage 8, to BRAINS Reset IN. Touch the
plate of the stage that will be the start of the sequence. Sequence will now run to stage 8,
and return to last touched stage, effectively giving you touch control of sequence length.
Touch Controlled JUMP: with sequence running, patch the Gate OUT from any of the middle
Stages of Pressure Points (3, 4, 5, 6), to BRAINS ReSeT IN. Touch the plate of the stage
AFTER the one with Gate applied to Reset IN. Watch sequencer jump over stage. Stack
multiple stages to Reset for longer jumps or multi-jumps.
