Frolic - NLC build notes 2 - completion

 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.

• 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.
