This is part 2 of my build notes for the frolic module.
It's a CV & gate sequencer and a sequential switch.
The stages can be controlled by CV or by gates and triggers or both.
Part1 is here:
- Frolic - NLC Build notes - part 1
- This module is an 8 stage sequencer/sequential switch.The stages can be controlled by CV or by gates and triggers or both.Links+ Wiki+ BOM
- The module so far:
- Time to place headers
- Jacks, LEDs and pots.
- The pots are all 100k, linear taper
Im using blue LEDs .. my fav colour. - RL= 4.7k
- + LEDs
.....
The finished module
- the first test involves plugging in an LFO to see if the sequencer works.
Nice
(Both Slew & ofset seem to need to be set to zero for the sequencer to work or have a cable plugged into the input
select jack)
for regular sequencer functions use the hold, reset and clock jacks
The analogue (CV) input does need some setting up and there are 2 pots
for doing this.
The one connected to the analogue input jack is an
attenuator. For a typical 5V range CV signal, you would probably set it
around the mid-point; the input is sensitive to lower amplitude signals
(such as some of the outputs from the Sloth modules).
The 2nd pot is to give a positive offset to the incoming CV.
Most LFO signals range over +/-5V, so this pot will adjust the signal to make it range from 0-10V,
and then you would wind back the attenuator to get a nice motion between
stages 1 and 8.
---------------------------------------------------
The Stage inputs are interesting.
If nothing is patched into the stage inputs, the outputs will be a
voltage for that stage, set by the corresponding pot. If you patch in a
signal, the corresponding pot becomes an attenuator for that signal.
