3. e are no real pressure sensors we derive the information based on the variance of the finger s position on the matrix so the information is more rough than the other axis but nonetheless absolutely usable The firmware takes care of smoothing and interpolating the output There is no indication of the Z axis output voltage HOLD Mode Without having your finger on the matrix pad press the MODE capacitive buttton The MODE LED will light 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 Again the Z axis being connected to the pressure on the matrix will diminish as you take the finger out of the matrix The faster you are to take the finger off the higher the Z output will remain Tap on the MODE again to back up to LIVE mode In HOLD mode the LEDs on the sides of the matrix will light up as the voltages output changes There is no indication of the Z axis output voltage In this mode the GATE output will be ON all the time REC Mode This mode is implementing a gesture cv gate recorder on the LP1 To enter the mode simply hold the REC button as long as you want to record your soundmachines user manual 4 LP1lightplane movements When you depress the button the LP1 will start looping what has been recorded The LP1 will automatically start looping also if you exceed the maximum memory lenght 4 5
4. s LP1 will playback the X Y axis and depending on the guality mode and the rear G_I O jumper the Z axis and the GATE The LED on the rec mode button will blink fast during the recording and slower during the playback phase If you operate again on the matrix pad the output will be overridden with you physical intervention but the timing won t be lost To stop the PLAY phase just tap on MODE mode button again When you press again MODE the playback will restart from the beginning To exit REC mode tap hte REC button During this mode the LEDs on the sides of the matrix pad will light up as the voltage outputs 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 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 START FROM FIRST SAMPLE trigger permitting you to sync with your modular sequencer or clocks See next pic for jumper location The standard jumper settings are Board orientation Jumper NOT inserted bottom is where the jacks are e Gate mode G l O Jumper NOT inserted GATE is an OUTPUT Voltage select Jumpers on the 5V side soundmachines user manual 5 LP1lightplane GATE MODE BOARD ORIENTATION RED STRIPE 12V UD AUD STANU Sfr JULI 7 i i i Tr d oundmachines
