"This is demo music created with the Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer. The device is an ATmega328-microcontroller-based MIDI synth designed to emulate the classic chiptune sound of the Nintendo Entertainment System's APU (audio processing unit.) If you are interested in the synth, please refer to the Kickstarter campaign page. The Kickstarter campaign rewards include both a fully assembled and tested version and a kit version for those who prefer to build it themselves. I created the music track myself, and I am not very musically talented. I'm interested to hear the music that more talented musicians will create with this synth, which is why I'm sharing the device through Kickstarter."

"The Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer is a minimalistic, microcontroller-based synth designed to emulate the classic chiptune sound of the Nintendo Entertainment System's APU (audio processing unit.) The synthesizer's MIDI input allows musicains create NES-video-game-style chiptune music by simply connecting a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI device.

No programming is required. Each Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer includes a preprogrammed microcontroller; however, each synth also features a 6-pin AVR programming header, allowing programmers to flash the embedded ATmega328 microcontroller with their own custom software. The programming header enables hackers to create their own custom waveforms, envelopes, software low-frequency oscillators, and PCM samples.

Unlike many other microcontroller-based synthesizers which use internal PWM peripherals to generate weak, scratchy, low-quality audio signals, the Arcano MIDI NES Chiptune Synthesizer uses an auxiliary digital-to-analog converter chip to create a clear, high-quality audio signal.

NOVA Mod Upgarded details :
Pulse width to near 0%
By closing the pulsewidth to a spike, new sounds can be attained by the SH-101. This spike wave source is very useful for brightening a bass patch. (A bass patch, with only the sub OSC waveform assigned, can be brightened, but not raised in pitch, by adding a little pulsewidth signal with a manual setting of less than 1% duty cycle.) In another application, in which only full ramp waveform is assigned, manually raising and lowering the spike waveform's amplitude has been compared to sounding like a wavetable sweep. As well, LFO mudulation of the pulse width is made dramatic because of the closer approach to 0%.

Pulse width Modulation Source Selection
A six way rotary switch enable you to chose the pulsewidth modulation sources independantly of the LFo waveform setting. This modulation source makes many new and interesting sounds. A randomly modulated pulsewidth is especially unique and pleasant. The PW modulation sources are : LFO Triangle / LFO Square / LFO Random / Sub OSC -1 Octave Square / Sub OSC -2 Octave Pulse / LFO Noise. The SUN OSC Mod sources creates a unique bass enhancement because of their higher frequency and keytracking. The result is a richer and deeper sound. As well, although there are only two sub OSC sources, changing the sub OSC swithce -1/-2/-2 results in even further modulation effects.

LFO Rate Scalar
A three way toggle switch scales the overall range of the sh-101's internal LFO Clk (the existing LFO rate slider still functions normally). The scalar settings are Normal/Low/High. In the Low setting, a cycle of 30 seconds can be attained. This is great for mild changes in TRANCE type music. In the High mode, up to 1200Hz can be used to create interesting cross-mod bell like sounds. Perfect for Industrial music and clanging metalic sounds. High mode works especially well when creating a synthetic kick drum patch or short-wave radio sounds.

LFO Clock Input
A 1/4" jack allows the insertion of an external clock signal to drive the 101's LFO. This injected signal trigger the LFO but does not change it's waveform. By applying clock, LFO AND arpeggiator are both synced to the external source. This makes for very moving and groovy patterns with only a drum box and NOVA MODED 101. A particularly nice application is to modulate the VCF Cutoff with a random LFO while playing the sequencer. Of course you can, at the same time, inject a seperate clock into the arpeggiator via the 101's Ext CLK in Jack. This will enable you to run the arpeggiator and LFO at different speeds. As a bonus, audio can be injected to drive the LFO. A simple trick is to patch the headphone output into the EXT. LFO Input. This feedback loop makes for sounds that can be mildly distorted be simply adjusting the VCF's Mod amount ( No need for an external distortion processor!!!) This effect is great for slow sweep with a resonating filter setting. Very minimoog-ish.

External Audio Input
A 1/4" jack and toggle switch allows external audio to be injected. A rotary pot controls the amplitude of the injected signal. It can be routed to one of two source. 1./ directly into the filter along with the OSC 's waveforms. External processing of audio through the VCF and ENV is a typical feature on some synths however a seperate trigger can be applied to fire the SH-101's envelope. 2./ intot he VCF's cutoff modulation point ( An external FM source).

VCF CV Input
An external CV can be applied to the 101 via this 1/4" jack. This feature is typical on a Juno-60, Jupiter 4 and Pro One. A midi converted to a CV or an "expression" foor pedal are typically connected here.

VCF FM
VCF FM is the most powerful NOVA-MOD feature. It can be used in moderation to simply add brightness to a bass patch with low frequencies (due to subtractive synthesis). Or it can be used to creat powerfull cross-mod sounds that are difficult to explain... they must be heard. These sounds are somewhat aggressive, distorted, bell like but most importantly, not attainable on a regular SH-101. There sounds are similar to those heard on a MiniMoog with its third LFO assigned. One example : Dial a patch with only a ramp waveform assigned but at the same time, modulate the VCF Cutoff with the Pulsewidth. Manually change the pulsewidth to vary the FM effect. It is quite unique. You can then switch in Sub OSC -2 OCT. Pulse as the FM source then adjsut the -1oct/-2oct/-2/oct switch to change the sound futher. Finally swing the Pulsewidth waveform as the FM source but switch from Manual to LFO modulation and then play with the PW Mod's waveform. A rotary pot controls the amount of modulation. A six way rotary switch selects the FM source : Pulse waveform / Ramp waveform / -1 Octave Sqr waveform / -2 Octave Sqr waveform / -2 Octave Pulse waveform / Noise waveform. As well, although there are only two sub OSC sources, the sub OSC switche -1/-2/-2 changes the sound, giving even more variety.

Filter Cleaning
Filter cleaning knob as the filter is ovedriven at it's minimum setting and clean at max. This gives a far better response curve."

"A synthesizer allowing control of pitch, shape, frequency/amplitude modulation and low-pass filter by hand-drawing of waveforms.

The screen has three areas; waveform drawing area, control selection, utility functions.

In the waveform drawing area you can drag your finger to change or draw a new shape that affects the sounds playing.

Control selection has eight options that control the sound -
Red: Primary waveform.
Orange: Primary frequency (i.e. the main melody).
Yellow: Secondary waveform (used as amplitude or frequency modulation of the first waveform, or as a second oscillator).
Green: Secondary frequency.
Cyan: Envelope (i.e. the volume shape for the playing sound).
Blue: Envelope frequency.
Purple: Mixer control, between the playing sound and any running loop.
Magenta: Low-pass filter cutoff frequency.

Utility functions are eight options that control how the waveform is edited and looping -
Draw: When this option is selected the waveform changes instantly as you draw it.
Slide: When this option is selected the waveform will slide from its current value to what you draw.
Line: When this option is selected the waveform will change a horizontal line at the point selected. On the Primary waveform (Red) this option is not allowed.
Sine: When this is pressed the waveform will become more like a sine wave.
Overtone: When this is pressed a 2nd harmonic will be added.
Soften: When this is pressed any rough edges on the current waveform will be softened
Record: Pressing this will start a loop being recorded. If Record is pressed again after starting to record an echo of the time between presses will be created.
Play: If Record has been pressed then pressing Play after it will create a loop of what was playing between the presses. If a loop is already playing, pressing Play again will stop it."

New Pittsburgh Modular Eurorack BENDER Module

via Pittsburgh Modular

"The Bender is a dual voltage controlled low frequency oscillator built around two triangle core, wide range, low frequency waveform generators. A low frequency cousin to the Generator, this multipurpose signal generator can provide the basis of a wide range of complex modulations ideal for amplitude, frequency and timbral modulation.

The Bender module is split into two separate voltage controlled LFOs. Each LFO is controlled by a separate rate konb, range switch, control voltage input attenuator, and variable waveshape knob.

The two LFOs of the Bender module are wired together internally for frequency cross modulation. The Variable Waveform output of each LFO is wired to the Rate CV input of the other. This controlled feedback loop creates everything from rhythmic patterns to wild, chaotic modulations. The internal connections can be broken by inserting a patch cable in the Rate CV Input jack.

"The FZ-1 is a 5-octave keyboard (61-key) and hybrid sampler/synthesizer released by Casio Computer Company in 1987.

The FZ-1, at that time, offered impressive sampling features: A 1 MB (10242 bytes) sampling memory (expandable to 2 MB), booting from ROM rather than an OS diskette, harmonic additive synthesis and digital subtractive synthesis in one complete package. Like the Fairlight CMI the FZ-1 used a GUI-driven menu system in which all functions were listed under specific menus and sub-menus. However, unlike the Fairlight, the FZ-1 did not use a stylus and qwerty keyboard for input. Instead, the FZ-1 used data sliders (like those present on the Yamaha DX range of synthesizers), 4-way cursor keys, an alphanumeric key-pad, plus "yes"/"no" buttons that also acted as a means of data increment or decrement.

"Complex Sample & Hold and Waveform Generator with Noise Source

SSH is a random voltage generator and wave shaper. This S&H has a built in LFO and noise source, allowing for stepped and slewed random waveforms to be generated without any patching or external modules. The stepped S&H waveform can be accessed directly from the STEP output jack, or the waveform can be run through an "intelligent" slew limiter, which allows for smooth slewing between steps. The on-board slew limiter is equipped with a shaping circuit, which allows for the slew to vary between the classic R-C type of glide and linear glide. SSH features some other unique functions, which allow for an amazing variety of waveforms to be generated.

On-board LFO with voltage controlled rate, normalized to the sample & hold trigger generator. External triggering input jack as well.

Sample & hold generator is normalized to an internal white noise source, allowing for "random" stepped waveforms to be generated. External signals between +/-8V can be sampled using the EXT input jack. Stepped S&H output can be accessed using STEP output jack.

Separate output for slewed S&H waveform. (SLEW) Slew amount is voltage controlled. Slope of the slewing is voltage controlled and can be varied between a classic RC glide and linear glide. Using the RISE/BOTH/FALL switch, slew can be active when the S&H waveform is rising, falling, or can be always active (switch in middle position)

SLOPE can be controlled using external CVs. If the SLOPE input is fed a negative voltage, then the slope of the output waveform becomes 0 (A horizontal line), and the voltage is held at the last S&H voltage until the SLOPE CV becomes positive again. For example, if a +/-5vpp square wave were fed into the SLOPE CV input, and the SLOPE CV knob were slowly turned from 0 to max, while the square wave input is less than 0V, the SLOPE output will be held at it's last value, the positive half of the square would determine the slope of the output waveform. The "pause" feature is only available when in SYM mode.

Symmetry control switch - By using the SYM/ASM switch, slew slope can be "opposite" on rising and falling waveforms. If the SYM mode is selected, the slope of the slewed waveform will correspond to the SLOPE CV controls. If ASM is selected, when the slewed waveform is rising, the current SLOPE setting will be applied. When falling, the "opposite" SLOPE setting will be applied. This allows for RC or linear curves to be applied when the S&H waveform is rising, and the opposite curve to be applied when falling, which allows for unique output waveforms to be created. A rear panel header provides separate 5V RISE and FALL gate signals.

This module is 10HP and packs a sophisticated sample & hold generator, waveshaper, and noise source into a compact module."

Frequency modulation (leveled FM1, FM2 and FM3 ) determinates the intensity of frequency modulation and/or pitch control. All FM inputs are carefully calibrated for 1Volt/octave sensitivity. Frequency modulation, by an audio signal, creates so called "side-bands" that consist of sum and difference of signals frequencies.
These additional frequencies do mostly have a non harmonic sound. Modulation, by low periodic waveforms, such as LFO or envelope generator creates momentary pitch shift of modulated oscillator common named vibrato (by LFO) or pitch bend (by envelope generator).
SYNC means that sync'ed oscillators frequency is tracked by the frequency of controlling oscillator;
OSC2's frequency is syncronized to OSC1's frequency. When the tuned frequency of sync-ed oscillator has the same or multiple of frequency of controlling oscillator then sync-ed oscillators waveform has no or very little "glitch" which results in a sync-ed smooth waveform (sinus waveform). The sync-ed waveforms (with additional FM modulation) are perfect for cutting edge lead sound and hard, funky basses.
PULSE WIDTH % adjusts the pulse width of the pulse wave from 5% to 95%.
WAVEFORM selects the waveform or a mix of waveforms from an oscillator. PULSE WIDTH control works also on the waveform mixes where the pulse wave is included.

Two input signals are pre-patched to OSC1 and OSC2 outputs. Using the inputs X and Y, any other external signal can be routed directly into the ring modulator. As modulation source the ring modulator can produce a huge amount of complex waveforms both in the low and audio frequency range."

"The D-LFO consists of two identical low frequency oscillators. The LFO2 can be internally sync-ed to LFO1 by an internal switch. The TRIP POINT control the voltage point at which the waveform is sync-ed; continuously from lowest to highest point of the waveform. Additionally the external signal can be used as sync source in two modes; the SYNC T converts the external signal to a very narrow pulse for a distinct sync and the SYNC G extract pulse width of the external signal for sync with a "steady state" sync-ed waveform. The RM/AM is a ring modulator / amplitude modulator. It is coupled to both LFO's outputs and has a separate output "RM-AM" and input for external signal (pre-patched to the LFO2's output)."

Cwejman AP-1 Audio Processor
"The AP-1 consist of three parts;
Microphone/Instrument amplifier
Envelope follower
Opto compressor

Preamp section
The preamp section consist of a low noise /high speed gain booster for signals to an adequate level for the opto compressor. Two audio inputs are accessible; the mic input provided by a balanced XLR socket and instrument input provided by 1/4 '' single ended socket. The mic input can be powered by the phantom voltage (48 Volts) for driving condenser microphones. The mic amplifiers wide gain range (from 1 to 71 dB) is ideal for amplification of week signals (ribbon microphones and dynamic microphones) and a high output level condenser microphones. The instrument amplifier has 6 dB lower gain range than the microphone amplifier and it's ideal for amplification of signals from high impedance sources, such as guitar pick-ups, piezo-transducers and other weak to moderate level signal sources.

Envelope Follower/Opto Compressor

The Envelope Follower extracts the amplitude of amplified signal to DC signal as CV for control of opto compressor. The Envelope follower has three controllable (manually and by dedicated CV inputs) parameters; Attack Time, Release Time and selectable input high- and low pass filter.

The Opto Compressor is build around an opto-electric device and low noise /high speed gain booster (pro-audio, j-fet op-amp for both instrument amplifier and compressor). The gain reduction is controlled by an extracted DC signal from the Envelope Follower. The amount of compression is controlled by the strength of input signal, gradually from soft compression (soft knee) to limiting for high level input signals. The opto compressor is completed with 15dB make-up gain. The Compressor's side-chain is coupled to the envelope followers input filter in purpose to make compression less sensitive to filtered signals by the envelope filter."

Cwejman FSH-1 Frequency Shifter
"the quadrature carrier oscillator in the cwejman fsh-1 frequency shifter is a pure analogue voltage-controlled generator. this results in the output of a pure sine tone with thd less than 0.1% in the entire frequency range.

the main purpose with the frequency shifter is to make frequency shift up and down for processed audio signal. two signal sources are needed; the carrier and the audio. both carrier and audio signals are splited in two chains and are pre-processed to accomplish 90 degrees phase shift between splited signals.

the carrier generator has two frequency ranges; lf (low frequency) and audio and it's controlled by knobs coarse, fine and external cv signals (carrier cv). the carrier generators outputs are pure sine waveforms with 90 degrees delay between them.

outputs are patched to both ring modulators inputs. two ring modulators (dual balanced multipliers) receives 0 and 90 degrees shifted carrier and audio signals . the outputs from the multipliers are combined in two ways; the frequency shift up and down. the frequency shifted audio signal is a sum (up) or difference (down) of the carrier generators frequency (a pure sine waveform) and all audio signals frequencies (fundamentals and harmonics). the fsh-1 works in two modes; as frequency shifter and as dual ring modulator.

a ring modulator is a classic audio effect device and due to the non-harmonic character of the output signal. it's very useful to create metallic timbres such as bells, sweeping whistles and percussive sounds and tremolo effects. the obvious effect (particularly in lf mode) is a stereo panning effect of audio signal."

"A dual oscillator built around two triangle core, wide range, periodic waveform generators. as a multipurpose signal generator, it can provide the basis of a wide range of complex sounds ideal for tuned percussion/noise, abrasive amplitude, frequency and timbral modulation. tones, drones, textures, and drums to atonal, nintendo zipper/fart noises. this module was made for fm madness.

The genxpander is an expander module for the generator. it adds standard waveform outputs, internal fm waveform selection, and extensive waveshaping capabilities to the generator module.
the genxpander has 4 separate sections.

Waveshaper:
the waveshaper circuit uses a triangle wave and square wave from one or both of the oscillators on the generator module to create a saw wave and a pulse wave. attenuated cv control of the pulsewidth and saw shape is available. a switch for the triangle wave and a swith for the square wave determine which oscillator the seed waveforms are taken from.
selecting the same oscillator for both triangle and square will provide a clean saw wave. selecting different oscillators for the triangle and square waves will provide a very interesting modulating, saw-triangle-square type waveform.

FM wave switch:
determines the waveform used by oscillator 1 (gen1) to internally modulate oscillator 2 (gen2). the generator ships with the internal fm set to the variable waveform. the switch allows the frequency modulation waveform to be changed to a triangle wave.

Standard waveform outputs:
Separate triangle and square wave outputs for both oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2)

Bad outputs:
An odd/even harmonic detector, frequency mixer & waveshaper. it inverts the polarity of the triangle waves based on the frquency relationship between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2).

Oe output:
Regular polarity oscillator 1 triangle if the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) is an even number. inverted polarity oscillator 1 triangle if the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) is an odd number.

Dif output:
Polarity of oscillator 2 triangle is changed at a frequency equal to the differance between oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2). if oscillator 1 (gen1) and oscillator 2 (gen2) are the exact same frequency then the dif output is the same as the oscillator 2 triangle output.

size: 8hp
depth: 35mm

attaching the genxpander to the generator:
the genxpander attaches to the generator using 2 ribbon cables attached to header 1 and header 2.

header 1 connects the power and waveforms of the generator to the waveshapers and outputs of the genxpaner. the ribbon cable attaches stripe down to header 1 on both the genarator and genxpander.

header 2 controls the selection of the waveform used for the internal fm of the generator. it replaces the jumper on the back of the generator with a switch. header 2 is a single row 4 pin header on both the generator and genxpander. the outside row of the ribbon cable attaches stripe down on the generator and stripe up on the genxpander. attaching this ribbon cable incorrectly will not cause damage to either module.

the genxpander receives power from the generator through header 1. the genxpander does not attach directly to a power supply."

livewire audio frequency generator

via this auction
"outside, the afg presents the user with extensive panel controls for maximum flexibility and usability… inside, the pure analogue circuitry adheres to a strict design philosophy rooted in mid-1970s technology and construction techniques.

features:
8 simultaneous waveform outputs
a total of 27 distinct waveforms are possible
sub-octave with switchable square or sawtooth waveforms
unique animated pulse & alien saw waveforms
programmable ‘natural’ or ‘laboratory’ sine wave modes
alternate waveform set is activated on all outputs simultaneously with matter/anti-matter switch
select between 2 different anti-matter waveform sets via pcb jumper
9 cv inputs, each with dedicated attenuators, with the exception of the two 1v/oct inputs
2 fm inputs, both switchable between linear & exponential
dedicated sync in/out

harmonic animation
the harmonic animation section of the afg controls the harmonic content of the animated pulses & alien saws waveforms.

the animated pulses waveform is synthesized by four control parameters, each having a manual adjustment knob and cv input with dedicated attenuator:
positive pulse width modulation (+pwm) – controls the width of the two pulses on the top (or positive) side of the waveform
negative pulse width modulation (-pwm) – controls the width of the two pulses on the bottom (or negative) side of the waveform
positive phase position modulation (+ppm) – controls the relative phase position of the two positive pulses (in relation to each other)
negative phase position modulation (-ppm) – controls the relative phase position of the two negative pulses (in relation to each other)

the alien saws output is a bizarre, multi-toothed saw waveform that is derived from the animated pulses waveform. it’s harmonic content is also synthesized by the four control parameters of the harmonic animation section, but in different and more enigmatic ways.

expandability
the livewire audio frequency generator is designed with expandability in mind. there are currently 3 new modules in the works, which are intended to further expand upon the afg’s sound shaping capabilities:
x-mod controller - provides 4 channels of fully routable cross-modulation between 2 afgs… 2 channels in each direction. each channel features manually or voltage controlled modulation depth.
audio compositor - enables the user to coalesce harmonics from all 8 of the afg’s output waveforms into a single mono or 2 stereo outputs. eight channels of bi-polar, voltage controlled mixing determine amplitude & panning of each waveform in the stereo outputs or amplitude & phase inversion in the mono output.
flux capacitor - allows the user to select between alternate universes accessed through the inter-dimensional portal that is activated by the matter/anti-matter switch.

universe a is strange. universe b is even stranger. but we find that universe c is completely malleable. fortunately, the flux capacitor has been designed to provide panel-mounted manual and voltage controls over the fluid physics of this anomalous and pliable dimension."

"VoKey is a Sampler and Keyboard. It can also be used to control or be controlled by another App by using the Virtual Midi feature. So, let's have a look at it and its features. To record a sound, you have to use the built in microphone on your iDevice or an Audio interface. You can also import (and export) samples by using iTunes or the Wifi file sharing. Note that an AudioBus feature would be really great... Once your recorded sample is be analyzed, it will be displayed as a "paint" waveform. 2 colours: Red & Blue. These colours will help you to edit your sample very fast. For example, you will be able to Map to the keyboard all the Blue segments of your waveform, to delete all the Red ones, or to switch to the next segment... Save your Sample when you are ok with it. You will be also able to Timestretch, Normalize, Reverse, loop your samples and add a Reverb (13 presets). You will be able to record your performances and save them (Unfortunately, you can't share your performances). VoKey is very well done. You can use it to create a sound very quickly, a new instrument and or play voice chords.... I would really like to have the AudioBus feature. A master volume would also be good because when you use VoKey to control another App or as an expander, it can be a little annoying without a master volume. VoKey is a Super App, it can also be rated as a Killer App, it only depends on your expectations of it. I think that VoKey will be in my recording gear for the Peace Project.... So I rate it as a Killer App even if it lacks some features..."

Roland SH-101 Nova Mod

via this auction

"New features from Nova Mod
* VCF FM : Amazing new sounds are now added through this feature. Six FM sources are available
* LFO Clock Input : Syncing Arpeggiator and LFO to external drum modules and sequencers is now possible. As well, interesting feedback loops can be created.
* PW Modulation Source Selection : Now you can choose a pulse width source. It is independent from the LFO's waveform setting. OSC sources are included.
* Pulse width to near 0% : Pulse width effects are now made more extreme and powerfull
* External audio input : the ability to do FM of VCF by an externalaudio source or to simply route a signal into the audio path is now provided.
* VCF CV input : Just plug in a foot pedal or a CV from a midi convertor and your sh-101 will sing!
* LFO rate Scalar : Ever hear a bell sound out of sh-101? Try this on Hi! Want a really slow sweep...you got it too.
* Overdrive Knob : Filter cleaning

Nova Mod Details :
Pulse width to near 0% - By closing the pulsewidth to a spike, new sounds can be attained by the sh-101. This "spike" wave source is very useful for brightening a bass patch. (A bass patch, with only the sub OSC waveform assigned, can be brightened, but not raise in pitch, by adding a little pulse width signal with a manual setting of less than 1% duty cycle.) In another other application, in which only full ramp waveform is assigned, manually raising and lowering the spike waveform's amplitude has been compared to sounding like a wavetable sweep. As well, LFO mudulation of the pulsewidth is made more dramatic because of the closer approach to 0%.

Pulsewidth Modulation Source Selection - A six-way rotary switch enables you to choose the pulsewidth modulation sources independently of the LFO's waveform setting. This modulation source makes many new and interesting sounds. A randomly modulated pulsewidth is especially unique and pleasant. The PW modulation sources are LFO Triangle / LFO Square / LFO Random / Sub Osc -1 Octave Square* / Sub Osc -2 Octave Pulse* / LFO Noise *The sub Osc Mod sources creates a unique bass enhancement because of their higher frequency and keytracking. The result is a richer and deeper sound. As well, although there are only two sub Osc sources, changing the sub Osc switch -1/-2/-2 results in even further modulation effects.

LFO Rate Scalar - A three-way toggle switch scales the overall range of the SH-101's internal LFO Clk (the existing lfo rate slider still functions normally). The scalar setting are Normal/Low/High. In the Low setting, a cycle of 40 seconds can be attained. This is great for mild changes in "trance" type music. In the High Mode, up to 1200Hz can be used to create interesting cross-mod bell like sounds. Perfect for "industrial" music and clanging metalic sounds. High mode works especially well when creating synthetic kick drum patch or short-wave radio sounds.

LFO Clock Input - A 1/4" jack allows the insertion of an external clock signal to drive the 101's LFO. This injected signal triggers the LFO but does not change it's waveform. By applying a clock, LFO and Arpeggiator are both synced to the external source. This makes for very moving and groovy patterns with only a drum box and Mova-modded 101. A particularly nice application is to modulate the VCF cutoff with a Random LFO while playing the sequencer. Of course you can, at the same time, inject a seperate clock intot he arpeggiator via the 101's Ext Clk jack. This will enable you to run the arpeggiator and LFO at different speeds. As a bonus, audio can be injected to drive the LFO. A simple trick is to patch the headphone output into the Ext' LFO input. This feedback loop makes for sounds that can be mildly distorted to heavily distorted by simply adjusting the VCF's mod amount.(No need for an external distortion processor!) This effect is great for slow sweeps with a resonating filter setting.

External Audio Input - A 1/4" jack and toggle switch allows external audio to be injected. A rotary pot controls the amplitude of the injected signal. It can be routed to one or two sources. 1./ directly into the filter along with the OSC's waveforms. External processing of audio through the VCF and ENV is . 2./ into the VCF's cutoff modulation point. (An external FM source.)

VCF CV Input - An external CV can be applied to the 101 via this 1/4" jack. This feature is typical on a Juno-60, Jupiter 4 and Pro-One. A MIDI controller converted to a cv or an "expression" foot pedal are typically connected one.

VCF FM - VCF Fm is the most powerful NOVA-MOD feature. It can be used in moderation to simply add bringtness to a bass patch with low frequencies (due to subtractive synthesis). Or it can be used to create powerful cross-mod sounds that are difficult to explain....they must be heard. These sounds are somewhat aggressive, distorted, bell like but most importantly, not attainable on a regular SH-101. One example : Dial a patch with only ramp waveform assigned but at the same time, modulate the VCF Cutoff with the Pulsewidth. Manually change the pulsewidth to vary the FM effect. It is quite unique. You can then switch in Sub Osc -2 Oct. Pulse as the Fm source then adjust the -1oct/-2oct/-2oct switch to change the sound further. Finally swing the Pulsewidth waveform as the Fm source but switch from Manual to LFo modulation and then play with the PW Mod's waveform. A rotary pot controls the amount of modulation. A six way rotary switch selects the FM sounce : Pulse / Ramp / -1 Octave Sqr / -2 Octave Sqr / -2 Octave Pulse / Noise Waveform"
