1. finger and the modular The LED on the mode red button is OFF to signal this state Each time your fingers touches the slider surface a voltage is sent out the CV jack and the relevant GATE signal is also put out Pair this with a quantizer and you know The LEDs on the side of the slider will light up as the voltage output changes The CV output will swing linearly between OV actually is a little more than that and 5 or 10V depending on the range jumper setting HOLD Mode Without having your finger on the slider press the rec mode capacitive buttton The rec mode LED will light solid as the HOLD mode is entered Same as above but the CV value is held when you whitdraw your finger Instant control surface for VCFs VCAs and any other CV controllable stuff in your modular Tap on the rec mode again to back up to LIVE mode The LEDs on the side of the slider will light up as the voltage output changes In this mode the GATE output will be ON all the time REC Mode This mode is implementing a movement cv gate recorder on the LS1 To enter the mode follow the folloeing instructions While you have your finger steady or moving already on the slider by pressing and holding the rec mode capacitive button you START recording the movements on the slider When you stop pressing the button or you exceeds the maximum timeframe of 8 seconds the output will start playing in loop what you recorded CV and GATE The LED on the rec mode but2. soundmachines ws 33 2 5 a 1E Bo pl an bs LS1lightstrip User s Manual e Introduction e Care and feeding e Specifications user manual soundmachines LSilightstrip Introduction The LS1lightstrip is a capacitive slider that generates CV and GATE signals along with the movement of your finger on its surface It can also record those movements and loop them It has different modes of working depending on the settings of the MODE button and the jumpers positions on the back of the module The module can be mounted both ways We thought that in a 3U skiff it could be good to have the jacks on the top side and the contrary in a standard vertical mounted modular case It s up to you We provided a jumper to be sure that when your finger goes up the voltage rise You can record up to 8 seconds of movements on the slider including GATE output with a resolution of 15msec The result is a nice and smooth variation in the output The module can be setup to generate either 5V or 10V output voltage by means of a jumper setting Care and Feeding LS1lightstrip is an 4hp eurorack module designed to comply with the Doepfer power standard GATE signal is 5V compliant either in GATE OUT and in External GATE mode as an input ATTENTION GATE as an input is protected for overvoltages but the LS1 may malfunction out of his nominal range It is strongly advised to not exceed the rated voltage Due to a glitch d
3. ton will blink fast during the recording and slower during the playback phase If you operate again on the slider the output will be overridden with you physical intervention but the timing won t be lost To end the PLAY phase just tap on the rec mode button again The LEDs on the side of the slider will light up as the voltage output changes OPTIONS For each of those modes you can choose via jumpers on the back the CV range 0 5V or 0 10V the orientation of the module upside down anyone soundmachines user manual 4 LSilightstrip you possibly would like to choose where your jacks are the mode of RECORDING internal or external the GATE output in this case doubles as a REC button trigger permitting you to sync with some cosmic rhythm When the LS1 is in External GATE mode set by the jumper on the back regardless of whatever state you are obviously either LIVE and HOLD will not act on the GATE signal the module will record the finger position as long as the GATE input is HIGH max 5V and will loop the recorded values as soon as the GATE became LOW again If GATE lenght exceeds the maximum available time the loop phase starts automatically Note altough this is extremely boring stuff all the cited trade marks and registered product names are property of their legal owners CE soundmachines user manual 5 LS1lightstrip
