### Typical Signal Flow (Default SYNTH! Mode)

VCO1 (SAW) + VCO2 (SAW) → MIX1 → VCF (LP) → VCA → FX → OUTPUT
VCOs, ENV, filter, and VCA pre-patched for immediate play.

Everything can be repatched manually for full modular exploration.

- **Gate/Trigger:** 0V low, 5V high
- **Audio:** Approx ±5V

---

### Installation Notes

- Can be used standalone or installed as 84HP in a Eurorack case (250mA +12V).
- Power via USB, 12V jack, or Eurorack ribbon (16-pin, -12V goes to lower pin!)
