Mixing Types

  • Mono into stereo plays on both sides
  • Stereo into mono takes the left side
  • A chord into a single input takes the first note
  • Filters, effects and the Amplifier turn stereo when a stereo wire comes in
  • Split and Merge take signals apart and put them together. They adapt to the first wire you drop on them.

Pitch

  • Pitch uses 1 volt per octave: +1 = one octave up, 1/12 = one semitone
  • An Oscillator in Note mode plays the note on its input
  • Wire a chord into an Oscillator in Notes mode to play every note as its own voice

Tempo

  • Set the graph’s tempo with BPM in the top bar
  • Tempo inputs (Clock, LFO in Beats mode, sequencers) can follow it with their sync toggle
  • Drive every part from one Clock so they stay in time
