In this patch we are using the Gemini in Dual Inverting Mode, so the Dual and Invert switches are both in the down position.
We are feeding the audio into IN 1, however do note that there is no patch cable in the IN 2 input - it is not needed as in DUAL
mode IN 1 is normalised (connected) to IN 2 internally, so the single input is automatically patched to both VCF 1 and VCF 2.
Note that the Envelope OUT 1 is connected to a Multi, so that we can patch it to both FCV 1 and D-FCV inputs simultaneously
- also, with the FCV control we have it set to -9, so it is applying a negative control voltage to the filter cutoff (because the FCV
control is an attenuverter). But we are also routing this same envelope out CV to the D-FCV Input, and with the D-FCV Control
set to 8 most of this voltage is passing through, because the D-FCV Control acts as an attenuator on external CV voltages and
it is almost fully open.
We are taking the output from the D-OUT jack, so that we can cross fade between VCF 1 and VCF 2 using the Audio Mix
control. As both VCF 1 and VCF 2 are set to Band Pass and have quite a large amount of resonance added we get some classic
vowel sounds, and sweeping between the filters gives interesting tonal variation. Try different settings with the Invert Switch,
D-FCV Mix and Freq 1, Freq 2 and FCV 1 controls to vary the sounds, and also try HP and Notch settings too for further
variations.
Also, try controlling the Audio Mix by patching a second Envelope (or other control voltage source) to the MIX CV jack, and set
the AUDIO MIX control fully clockwise to get the full range of control, just back it off a little if the CV voltage is peaking too
high so that you get a full sweep from VCF 1 to VCF 2
Note: The numbers used to illustrate control knob positions do not relate to the markings on the module itself, but are simply a scale from zero to 10 with 5
being the control centre position. For attenuverters the control positions are -10 to +10, with zero being centre position for the control knob.
