Audio Path: 

• 

Set the 

LFO Toggle

 of 

neóni

 to its up position, so that it oscillates at 

audio rate.

• 

Set the 

Trad/T.Z. Switch

 of 

neóni

 to its down position, so that 

through-zero FM operation is selected.

• 

Set the 

Hard Sync Toggle

 of 

neóni

 to its centre position, so that hard 

synchronization happens on every up and down charge direction.

• 

Set the

 Split Sawtooth

 knob of 

neóni 

to its fully anticlockwise 

position, so that the sawtooth waveform is at its default setting.

• 

Set the 

Wavefold

 fader of 

neóni

 to its centre position.

• 

Tune the 

Coarse

 knob and the 

Fine

 knob of 

neóni

 to 9:00 and 

12:00, respectively.

• 

Connect the 

Sawtooth Output

 and the

 Wavefold Output

 of 

neóni 

to 

two inputs of lìon and connect the corresponding pin cables to mix 
them to a single output.

• 

Connect the output of lìon to the input of I-ō47 and connect the 
stepped triangle output of Cš-L to the inverting input of I-ō47.

• 

Tune Cš-L to around 98 Hz (G2) or a note within this octave. 

• 

Set the stepped triangle’s PWM knob to its centre position. 

• 

Set the gain fader of I-ō47 to its maximum level.

• 

Set the limiter toggle of I-ō47 to its up position

• 

Set the coarse cutoff frequency knob and the fine frequency knob of 
I-ō47 to 11:00 and fully anticlockwise, respectively.

• 

Set the resonance knob of I-ō47 to 9:00.

• 

Set the feedback toggle of I-ō47 to its down position to disable self-
oscllation of the resonance.

• 

Connect the low pass output of I-ō47 to vincâ.

• 

Set vincâ to fully linear

• 

Set vincâ’s amplitude/CV attenuator to around 75%.

• 

Connect the output vincâ to tanh[3].

• 

Set the level knob of tanh[3] to its maximum position.
