MODULES IN THE PICO SYSTEM III

These are the signal level

attenuators for the first mixer

These are audio or CV inputs

of the first mixer

This is the output of the first mixer.

If something is patched here, it’s automati-

cally disconnected from the SUM OUT

This is the master output of the mixer –

it sums both MIX2 and MIX3

This is the master output of the module –

it essentially duplicates the SUM OUT, but it

features stereo jack socket that splits mono

signal to left and right stereo channels.

NB! Use ONLY a stereo cable here! A mono

cable will shorten audio to the ground and

there will be no sound on the output!

These are the signal level attenuators

for the second mixer

These are audio or CV inputs of

the second mixer

This is the output of the second mixer.

MIXERS

section is straight-forward –

it features two independent DC coupled

mixers for mixing audio and CV signals

with individual outputs and shared output,

where signals from both mixers are

mixed together.

This knob sets LFO and S&H clock frequency.

Patch external clock signal here to sync

LFO and S&H frequency to the external

clock. When external clock is applied, the

Rate knob becomes clock divider (CCW

from 12:00) or multiplier (CW from 12:00)

This is sine LFO output. LED1 indicates LFO

(sine and pulse) and S&H clock frequency.

This is the pulse wave LFO output, use it also

for clocking the sequencer. LED2 indicates

random pulse output

This is the Random Trigger output. The

frequency of the random triggers is set

by the RATE knob

This is the S&H CV output

This is the noise output

This knob sets Attack time. The incoming

CV is added to the knob setting.

This knob sets Decay time. The incoming CV

is added to the knob setting.

Select between looping mode and triggered mode! In

looping mode, when CV is applied to attack and/or decay

controls, the module can work as a drone generator

This is the manual trigger button

This is the Attack CV input

This is the Decay CV input

This is the Trigger/Gate input. If gate is applied,

the module advances to the ASR mode automatically

This is the output of the module. The LED gives visual

feedback on the output voltage
