These are my cheat/summary notes For the O_C
A friend asked me to do a brief summary. This is for beginners so skip if you're famillar with the module.
The "Piqued" app is a great place to start exploring the module.
From the official Manual:
Piqued is a quad voltage-controlled envelope generator, based on envelope generator code from the Mutable Instruments Peaks
module, but extending it with voltage control, additional envelope
types, including re-triggering (looping) envelopes, additional segment
shapes, adjustable trigger delays, and a unique Euclidean “trigger
filter” which turns the app into a Euclidean rhythm generator which can
output envelopes, not just gate or trigger pulses.
To select the Piqued app use encoder 2 (right encoder).
(Encoders can be pressed or turned).
1. Long Press (>2s) encoder 2 to enter the App menu.
2. turn encoder 2 to select the app
3. Press encoder 2 to select the app.
Saving your changes.
(You must do this to save any changes).
1. Long Press (>2s) encoder 2 to enter the App menu.
2. long press encoder 2 a second time to save the
module state.
This will make the selected app the default at the next boot.

There is also a “Euclidean trigger filter” included, which turns the Piqued app into a quad-channel Euclidean polyrhythm generator
There are 4 envelope outputs
A to D Outputs are the 4 jacks on the lower right corner.
The top 4 inputs on the left are for triggers
The bottom 4 inputs on the left are for CV
There are two buttons. The top increases the values when pushed in segments of 32.
The lower decreases (in segments of 32) when pushed.
There are 2 encoders.
Encoders can be pressed & turned.
Encoder 1:
Pressing it will toggle between Setting Mode & Duration/Visulation modes.
Turning it in settings mode will select the envelope type.
Turning it in Duration/Vis mode will select one of the 4 channels: A,B,C,D.
Encoder 2
Pressing it will toggle between envelope settings mode & envelope segment duration mode.
Turning it will either move the cursor (between the different env stages) OR
change segment duration.
There are lots of envelopes to choose from.
AR, ADSR, ADR, ASR, ADAR
ADL2, ADRL3, ADL2R,ADARL,ADARL4
A= attack
D=decay
S=sustain
R=Release
L=loop
These (ADL2, ADRL3, ADL2R,ADARL,ADARL4) are interesting.
The looping is an automatic retrigger.
Illustrations of these envelope types can be found here.
Do let me know if there are any mistakes or omissions.
Over time (when I get a chance) I'll break down the other apps in this cool module (and the Utile Temps too).
Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas. J
