A    Self Osc 2:

Shorting this jumper across both exposed pins connects extra circuitry that forces the 

VCF 2 filter core to be self - oscillating at high resonance settings. When the jumper is 

only connected to one pin, or removed completely, the filter is in standard vintage 

SEM mode and will not go into self oscillation. It is acceptable to have one VCF self 

oscillating and the other in vintage SEM mode, or both self oscillating too.

B    Self Osc 1: 

Shorting this jumper across both exposed pins connects extra circuitry that forces the 

VCF 1 filter core to be self - oscillating at high resonance settings. When the jumper is only 

connected to one pin, or removed completely, the filter is in standard vintage SEM mode 

and will not go into self oscillation. 

C    Freq 2:

This trimmer adjusts the freqency centre point for the front panel VCF 2 Frequency 

control.

Note:  For use by experienced technicians only - Only try small adjustments then test tracking again!

 

 

D    Freq 1:

This trimmer adjusts the freqency centre point for the front panel VCF 1 Frequency 

control. 

Note:  For use by experienced technicians only - Only try small adjustments then test tracking again!

 

E    Scale 2:

This trimmer adjusts the 1V/Octave tracking of VCF 2. Turning it anti-clockwise reduces 

(shortens) the scaling and turning clockwise increases scaling. 

Note:  For use by experienced technicians only - Only try small adjustments then test tracking again!

 

F    Scale 1:

This trimmer adjusts the 1V/Octave tracking of VCF 1. Turning it anti-clockwise reduces 

(shortens) the scaling and turning clockwise increases scaling. 

Note:  For use by experienced technicians only - Only try small adjustments then test tracking again!

The Gemini 2412 module is calibrated after manufacture and under normal circumstances should not require any 

user adjustment. Trimmers not documented are for manufacturer’s use only and have tamper paint over the adjuster. 

We will not accept any modules returned for repair under warranty because the module has been incorrectly adjusted 

by users, to correct this and bring the unit back to full working order full calibration will be required, this is a fairly 

lengthy process and in this case will be a chargeable service.
