CONTROLS AND I/O JACKS
DRY VOL Knob
The DRY VOL knob controls the volume of the untreated bass signal present at the
SYNTH OUTPUT jack.
SYNTH VOL Knob
The SYNTH VOL knob controls the overall volume of the synthesizer sound at the
SYNTH OUTPUT jack.
SENS Knob
The SENS knob adjusts the gain of the input signal before the signal hits the
Bass Mono Synth’s trigger block. The trigger block generates synth notes that
match the pitch of the notes you play on your bass and starts all envelope
sweeps. It will only trigger new notes when the input signal exceeds its
threshold. The SENS knob (short for sensitivity) allows you to change the signal’s
amplitude to have finer control over the notes that trigger threshold. Lower
settings of SENS will require louder notes to trigger the synthesizer while higher
settings of SENS might trigger new synth notes with every note you play. As a
tool, to help set the SENS knob, the LED lights orange when the input signal to
the synth engine exceeds -4.6dB. Setting the SENS knob so this LED lights
orange on your loudest notes is a good place to start. Please note: the LED does
not indicate when the input signal has triggered a new note, it lights only to
indicate the loudness of the input. If many of your notes do not trigger the
synth, then turn up SENS. If you hear many false triggers or retriggers without
playing a new note then turn down SENS.
CTRL Knob
This knob can be used to control a specific parameter for each synth type. See
the TYPE DESCRIPTIONS on pages 1 and 2 to learn more.
INPUT Jack
Plug your bass or the output of another effects pedal into this ¼” jack. See Tips 1
& 2 on Page 7 for more on connecting your Bass Mono Synth.
DRY OUTPUT Jack
The DRY OUTPUT jack is hardwired to produce a buffered version of the signal
present at the INPUT jack. In either EFFECT or BYPASS mode, the dry signal is
always present at the DRY OUTPUT jack. The DRY knob does not change the
volume of the signal at the DRY output jack.
SYNTH OUTPUT Jack
The SYNTH OUTPUT jack outputs the mix set by the DRY and SYNTH volume
controls. In BYPASS mode, SYNTH OUTPUT outputs the buffered bypass signal.
EXP Jack
The EXP jack accepts a TRS cable from a standard passive expression pedal.
Each synth type has a specific parameter controlled by the expression pedal, as
explained in the TYPE DESCRIPTIONS section.
