"Cells is a dual unipolar control voltage generator. Each of the 16 touch sensitive pads can be “fed” two 12bit values (semi-tone quantized or free scale), ranging from 0V to 5V
Although intended to be used as a duo-phonic instrument/sequencer, Cells can also be used to modulate filters, amps, anything with a cv input!
Operation Overview:
Feed It:
-Tap a pad to select it
-Hold a tune button to engage the “feeding process” (left button for channel 1, right for channel 2).
-Adjust a knob to the desired pitch (left knob for channel 1, right for channel 2).
So long as a tune button is held, the output is automatically changed as you move the knob
-Release the button, pitch information is stored to Eeprom
You can toggle between free scaling and semi-tone increment modes by pressing both tune buttons simultaneously.
Play it:
Press a pad to trigger both gate and cv outputs
Hold 2 or more pads and Cells will arpeggiate, the rate can now be changed with the left knob. The right knob changes the octave range.
Sequence it:
Sequence the cells using the 2 trigger inputs. The left input shifts up a row and the right input shifts right by one column
The gate outputs mirror the trigger inputs.
Cells requires +5V DC power to operate, as well as +/- 12V . On-board 12V to 5V conversion is provided if 5V isn’t available in your system. This is configured via a jumper on the rear of the module"
"It seems there are not so many videos demonstrating the Pro 2's paraphonic mode in practice, so I dialed up a few paraphonic patches which I've programmed for use in my productions for the past few months.
The Pro 2 has unexpectedly become the centerpiece of my studio, and yet it seems to be such an underrated and misunderstood synthesizer. I will surely post more videos of it soon.
All the sounds in this video were recorded straight from the Pro 2 via an RME UFX into Reaper and no further processing or external effects."
