EDGE Controls
(EN) Step 2: Controls
1. FREQUENCY (VCO 1) – Control the frequency ± 5 octave
(10 octave range).
2. SHAPE – Select Square or Triangle waveform.
3. ENVELOPE – This bipolar control increases pitch modulation
when turned to the CW (Clock-wise). Turning left applies
negative Envelope Modulation giving a slide pitch effect.
4. SEQ PITCH MOD – This 3 way switch selects if the Pitch
Sequencer is sent to OSC 1&2, to OSC 2 only or off.
5. LEVEL – This sets the volume for VCO 1.
6. EG (VCO 1&2) DECAY – This control modulates the pitch of
both Oscillator's. Turning CW increases the amount of
modulation added.
7. FREQUENCY (VCO 2) – Control the frequency ±5 octave
(10 octave range).
8. SHAPE – Select Square or Triangle waveform.
9. ENVELOPE – This bipolar control increases pitch modulation
when turned to the CW (Clock-wise). Turning left applies
negative Envelop Modulation giving a slide pitch effect.
10. HARD SYNC – Switch On to force OSC 2 to match the
phase of OSC 1. Can be used for complex metallic sounds or
flanged sounds.
11. LEVEL – This sets the volume for VCO 2.
12. 1-2 FM AMT – Modulate the pitch of OSC 2 with OSC 1, turn
CW to increase the effect.
13. NOISE COLOR – Select Pink or White noise. White noise is
bright while pink noise is darker sounding.
14. NOISE / EXT – Set the amount of NOISE or the level of EXT
AUDIO added into the signal.
15. POWER LED – Indicates the unit is on. Turns red if poly mode
is activated.
16. VCA MODE – Fast sets the VCA EG to around 1 ms. Slow sets
the attack time of the VCA EG to 100ms.
17. DECAY – Sets the decay time of the VCA envelope.
18. VOLUME – Controls the main overall volume.
19. VCF SELECT – Choose either High Pass HP or
Low Pass LP filter modes.
20. CUTOFF – Adjust the filter cutoff point depending which
mode is selected (20 Hz to 20 kHz).
21. RESONANCE – Adjusts the resonance of the filter.
This emphasizes the frequencies around the cutoff point.
22. DECAY (FILTER) – Determines how quickly the change in
timbre returns to its original value over time.
23. ENVELOPE (FILTER) – Turning CW from 12 o'clock increases
filter envelope modulation. Turning counter clockwise
(CCW) applies negative envelope modulation to the filter
cutoff frequency.
24. NOISE / VCF MOD – Turning the NOISE / VCF MOD CW governs
how much the Filters Cutoff Frequency is being modulated
by the Noise source. By patching into the VCF MOD input on
the patch bay, any control signal can modify the Filter's
Cutoff Frequency.
25. TEMPO – Tempo can be set from 10 to 10,000 when set to
internal (INT). Via MIDI and USB the range is 10- 300 BPM.
26. CLOCK – Clock can be set to MIDI, USB or INT / EXT. Use the
ADV / CLOCK patch point to clock externally.
27. SCALE – This sets the timing of the sequencer against the
incoming MIDI or USB CLOCK. Choose from 1 / 4, 1 / 8,
1 / 16, 1 / 32 straight rhythm or 1 / 4T, 1 / 8T, 1 / 16T and 1 /
32T triplet feel.
28. TRIGGER - With the Sequencer stopped, pressing the
TRIGGER button will play the current Sequencer Step
(shown by the LED) without advancing to the next step.
This makes it easy to fine-tune settings for a specific step by
playing it as many times while changes are made.
29. PLAY / STOP – This button stops and starts the sequencer at
the current step.
30. ADVANCE – Move step by step through the 8 steps of
the sequencer.
31. PITCH – These 8 controls adjust pitch values. CW of centre
adds to the VCO Frequency control. Moving CCW from the 12
o'clock position lowers the pitch for that step. The controls
have around a 10-octave range.
32. VEL – These 8 controls adjust the velocity of each. They
control the amplitude of the VCO Envelope, Filter Envelope /
Decay and the VCA Decay. Turn CW to raise the value from
0 V to 5 V.
33. MIDI IN – This MIDI DIN input can be used to play sounds via
an external MIDI device and also allow MIDI clock to be used.
34. MIDI OUT / THRU – MIDI DIN can be used as an output or
a thru.
35. OSC 1 CV – Oscillator 1 pitch CV, at 1 V / octave.
36. OSC 2 CV – Oscillator 2 pitch CV, at 1 V / octave.
37. OSC DECAY – Input determines the Decay Time of the OSC
Decay and is useful for adding pitched dynamics to tuned
percussion sounds.
38. ADV / CLOCK – When the input of a clock's rising edge is
detected, the Sequencer pattern is shifted by one step.
In this mode, the Tempo control has no use.
39. TRIGGER – This input will Trigger all three Envelope
Generators at the currently selected Sequencer Step Velocity
level without advancing to the next step. This is useful when
connecting to external sequencers.
40. VELOCITY – Controls the maximum amplitude of the
Envelope Generators and is one of the keys to a highly
dynamic and expressive sound.
41. NOISE LEVEL – Input modulates the value of the NOISE /
EXT LEVEL control regardless of whether it is controlling the
Noise level, or the level of an External Audio Signal connected
via the EXT AUDIO input jack.
42. 1-2 FM AMT – This input modulates the value of the 1-2 FM
AMT control to determine the amount of modulation applied
to Oscillator 2 by Oscillator 1.
43. EXT AUDIO – Inserting an External Audio source into this
jack removes Noise from the signal path and replaces it with
the External Audio Signal. The volume of this input is then
controlled by the NOISE / EXT LEVEL control.
44. TEMPO – This input provides 1V / Octave control of the
Sequencer Clock VCO speed.
45. PLAY / STOP – Allows an external voltage to start and
stop the Sequencer.
46. VCF MOD – Inserting a control voltage replaces the Noise
Generator as a hardwired modulation source for the Filter.
The maximum amount of modulation applied to the Filter will
still be controlled by the NOISE / VCF MOD control.
47. VCF DECAY – This input controls the Decay Time of the VCF EG
and is useful for creating large variations in sound.
48. VCA CV – This input allows a control voltage to be applied to
the output VCA offering another way of modulating the
overall volume.
49. VCA DECAY – This input regulates the Decay Time of the
VCA EG and is useful for adding variations to non-pitched
percussion patterns.
50. OSC 1 – Direct out of Oscillator 1. Can be used as a modulation
or audio output.
Quick Start Guide
51. OSC 2 – Direct out of Oscillator 2. Can be used as a modulation
or audio output.
52. OSG EG – This output duplicates the control voltage used to
modulate both Oscillator's internally.
53. TRIGGER – Provides a pulse from the Sequencer Clock that
can be used as a clock source for synchronizing to external
instruments, or as a Trigger signal.
54. VELOCITY – Provides a voltage that varies based on the
Velocity setting of the current Sequencer step.
55. PHONES – 3.5 mm headphone output controlled by the
volume control (18).
56. PITCH – Provides a voltage that changes based on the Pitch
setting of the current Sequencer step.
57. VCF EG – This output is a duplicate of the control voltage used
to modulate the Filter internally.
58. VCA – This is the main audio output, set by the
Volume control.
59. VCA EG – This output provides a copy of the control voltage
used to modulate the VCA internally.

selectable using the dip switches.

USB cable.
