Basic Operation
- Signal Input/Output:
- Patch your signal into IN and use OUT for the processed audio.
- Mix Control:
- Adjust MIX knob or patch CV for blending clean and affected signals.
- Clipping/Threshold:
- Turn GLITCH knob to left for more gating and harsh glitching.
- Delay Time:
- Adjust TIME for shorter/longer delay. Use CV for modulation/fluctuation.
- Freezing:
- Hold FREEZE to lock/resample the signal at delay time rate (makes stutter/slice FX).
- CV Modulation:
- Patch LFO, envelope, or sequencer to CV MIX and/or CV TIME for dynamic FX.
Power Up Safety
- Ensure GLITCH and TIME knobs are fully clockwise before applying power.
