PHONOGENE Panel Controls (cont’d)
8. VARI-SPEED CV IN: bipolar speed and direction control where 0V stops playback,
positive control signal increases playback speed in forward direction, negative
control signal increases playback speed in reverse direction. Range +/-4V.
9. VARI-SPEED Bipolar Panel Control: manual bipolar speed and direction control. When
set to 50% playback is stopped, turning Clockwise from 50% increases play
back speed in forward direction, turning Counter Clockwise from 50%
increases playback speed in reverse direction.
10. VARI-SPEED CV IN Attenuvertor: bipolar attenuator for VARI-SPEED CV IN.
11. ORGANIZE CV IN: unipolar control signal input which selects next Splice to be played.
The currently selected Splice will play to end before the next Splice is
selected. The VARI-SPEED and Splice Indicator LEDs (6 & 7 ) will flash
whenever this control finds a new Splice. Range 0V to +5V.
12. ORGANIZE CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for Organize CV IN.
13. ORGANIZE Panel Control: manual unipolar control which selects next Splice to be
played. The VARI-SPEED and Splice Indicator LEDs (6 & 7 ) will flash
whenever this control finds a new Splice.
14. PLAY Pulse IN: at each rising edge signal applied to PLAY Pulse IN, Phonogene
triggers playback. At end of loop or splice, Phonogene looks at PLAY Pulse IN,
if HIGH, it plays again, if LOW Phonogene does not play. This Input is
normalized to be HIGH. So with nothing patched to PLAY Pulse IN,
Phonogene will play continuously. Sees only rising edge of signal. Needs at
least 1.5V trigger signal to operate.
15. RECord Pulse IN: toggles record on/ off. When recording from a cleared buffer, the
first record cycle sets the record length, so be sure to perform the ERASE
Routine to achieve a new recording. Sees only rising edge of signal. Needs at
least 1.5V trigger signal to operate.
16. RECord button: manual, momentary button to toggle record on/ off.
17. RECord LED indicator: when lighted, Phonogene is recording. When not lighted,
Phonogene is not recording. When flashing, Phonogene has entered the
ERASE Routine.
18. SPLICE button: pushing drops splice marker on loop. When loop is Organized, the
splices (resulting audio segments) are re-arranged according to the Organize
control voltage as the Phonogene plays whichever splice is selected by
Organize parameter. Since splices may be erased, this process is
nondestructive. Holding this button for 3 seconds enters ERASE Routine (REC
LED will flash to indicate the ERASE Routine).
19. SPLICE Pulse IN: input for using external signal to splice loop. Sees only rising edge of
signal. Needs at least 1.5V trigger signal to operate.
20. End Of Splice OUT: outputs a short 4 ms pulse at the end of each splice. In the
absence of Splices, EOS reflects end of loop, which is always present when a
recording has been made.
21. End Of Splice LED indicator: lights to give visual feedback of End of Splice.
