Make Noise 0-CTRL

MUSICAL FEATURES

0-CTRL is a patchable, clockable controller/step sequencer designed for voltage-controlled synthesizers. While it's designed to work exceptionally well with 0-Coast and patching, its Eurorack-compatible input/output voltage ranges make it ideal for other modular systems and patchable tabletop synths as well.

• Full analog patch programmable. There are no menus or modes.
• Set the 3 parameters of Pitch, Strength and Time for each step to control the synthesizer voice
• Voltage control of stop and direction is possible
• Touch to reset to that step during the sequence
• CV output according to pressure applied to gate
• The gate and envelope outputs can also control the voltage height, making it very easy to give step-by-step intonation
• The gate output for each step allows you to control the behavior of the sequence by patching and create a trigger event specific to the step.
• Equipped with clock input / output, you can create sequences synchronized with an external modular system.
• It is also possible to interrupt the sequence by touching the touch plate and play on the touch plate

How to Use

In 0-CTRL, there are three main CV sequence strings, which are called Pitch / Strength / Time channels from the top. For each internal or external clock, the sequence advances one step at a time in three columns, and the voltage corresponding to the knob of each channel on that step is output from the three Channel CV Outputs.

The three CV outputs can produce stepped CV sequences depending on the knob position, but the Strength and Time channels also have special roles and outputs. First, the Strength channel is internally wired to the CV input for controlling the height of "Dynamic Gate" and "Dynamic Envelope," so you can control the peak height of these with the Strength channel knob. If the Strength channel knob for the current step is turned all the way to the left, no gate will be output from the Dynamic Gate, and the gate will get progressively higher as the knob position moves to the right. The same applies to the envelope. Using these dynamic gates and envelopes will make it easy to add velocity-like strengths and weaknesses to your sequences. The Time channel also allows for modulation, such as changing the sequence speed step by step, through its internal connection to Time CV.

Another major feature is the 8-step touch plate , which allows you to select sequence steps and output voltage and gates according to the pressure (contact area) applied to the plate, enabling tone control and keyboard-like functionality. The three touch plates on the left control transport settings, and these are also quickly accessible, allowing them to be used as part of the performance.

In the upper left corner are transport-related gate inputs such as Reset, Stop, and Dir , which can be used to add variation to your sequences. Patching the gate output of each stage to these jacks will make it easier to change the sequence even with individual stages.

* When patching with the Eurorack system etc., if one patch cable is connected between two devices, the behavior may be strange due to ground problems. In that case, try patching another dummy, 2-Ctrl, and the input / output of the external device.
