When a gate or clock signal of 2.5V or higher is input, the sequence advances by one in the X direction. In Snake mode, it operates as a clock input that advances the sequence by one.
X MOD
Input a gate signal as an input to further change the sequence of Rene.How the gate signal works is determined in the X-Fun section of the PGM page.
X-CV
The CV entered here is converted to coordinates, and the X coordinate is advanced by the amount of the entered CV.When unpatched, 5V is supplied by internal wiring, so simply twisting the attenuator will change the X coordinate of the sequence. In Snake mode, the sequence is advanced by the amount of the input CV.
X-CV Attenuator
X-CV attenuator
Y Axis Section
A jack for clocking and modding in the Y direction, with the same role as the corresponding one in X.However, in Snake mode, Y-CLK and Y-CV are used for sequence selection.
Sensitivity Adjust
A knob that adjusts the sensitivity of the touch plate.If you want to increase the sensitivity, turn it clockwise.
PGM 1 (PGM Page Select)
A plate for selecting the ProGraM page. ProGraM page
- access
--X-Gate
--Y-Gate
--X-Fun
--Y-Fun
--Q
Each time you press it, you can access it in order and the LED will show you the current page.
PGM2
On the PLAY page (main mode), if you touch this plate while holding down some grids, it will hold the sequence only between the grids even if you release your finger.AlsoPress and hold to save all settingsTo do. If it is a PGM page, you will be returned to the play page.
QCV Output
Quantize CV output.The voltage corresponding to the knob of the currently active stage is output.The voltage is quantized for pitch (setting is done in Q on the ProGraM page). It has a range of 4 octaves.
Also, depending on the Q setting, the Stored Quantize Voltage is output from here, in which case the stored voltage is output instead of the voltage corresponding to the knob.
CV Output
CV output.The voltage corresponding to the knob of the currently active stage is output. Unlike QCV, the voltage is not quantized for pitch and always reflects the value of the knob. 0-4.5V
GX Output
Gate signal output. When the stage turned on on the X-Gate page is reached by XCLK, a gate signal is output.The length of the gate is the length of XCLK.These behaviors are modified by the logic settings on the X-Fun page.
In Snake mode, this output does not reflect the length of XCLK and is a short gate signal of 2ms.
GY Output
Gate signal output. When the stage turned on on the Y-Gate page is reached by YCLK, a gate signal is output.The length of the gate is the length of YCLK.These behaviors are modified by the logic settings on the Y-Fun page.
In Snake mode, this output does not reflect the length of YCLK and is a short gate signal of 2ms.
CV Programming Grid
The knob sets the voltage output from the QCV / CV.
touch grid
On the Play page, touching it will move the sequence to that position.It is also used for settings such as gate, Access, and Q. You can use Touch Grid as if you were playing on the settings page as well as the Play page.
When you move the cursor to the screen, the role of each part is displayed in a pop-up.
Rene is the only "cartesian sequencer" designed for synthesizers that can create complex sequences that go beyond linear changes while specifying steps in X and Y, horizontal and vertical pairs. "is.
In ReneTwo clock inputs, XCLK and YCLKThis determines the movement of the 4X4 on the grid. In normal mode (not in snake mode), XCLK takes the active stage one step to the right, and if it is the far right, it advances to the far left. YCLK takes the active stage one step up, and if it is the top, it goes to the bottom.AlsoX-CV and Y-CV inputsAllows you to shift the X and Y coordinates according to the CV.
Rene is very playable with your fingers and you can move to that stage by touching the 4x4 touch grid.Also, if you press multiple grids with several fingers, the sequence will be performed only between the grids.If you press the PGM2 button at that time, even if you release your finger, the sequence will be performed only between the grids.ホ ー ル ドThen press the PGM2 button again to return.
Such sequences and performances are the starting point for Rene's operations, but there are six types.ProGraM pageYou can set various sequence settings in Rene by changing the setting of. Access the ProGraM page by touching the PGM1 button (on the left side of the plate above the Touch Grid). On the ProGraM page,Access to each grid, gate ON / OFF, MOD input settings, sequence mode settings, quantizer settings, etc.Can be done.
Rene has the following features.
With minimal input, you can maximize your musical and controllable variations.
All programming can be done in real time as part of performance.Rather, programming in real time is the biggest knack for Rene's performance.
You can input up to 4 clock signals and 2 CVs at the same time, so you can create complex musical patterns.
Quantized CV (QCV) output that is also useful for pitch control such as DPO (scale is also programmable)
Unquantized CV output that is useful for controlling tones, etc.
Two different gate / pulse sequence outputs serve as event signal signals and as triggers for envelopes such as MATHS.
It goes well with Pressure Points.
ProGraM PAGE
The various ProGraM pages and their settings are as follows.
Access
You can set which of the 16 stages you want to access. In Rene, when you come to an inaccessible stage where the knob is not lit, you will either fly to the next accessible stage (SEEK) or rest for the corresponding amount of time (SLEEP). The selection of SEEK or SLEEP is made in the SEEK / SLEEP setting (common to XY) of X-Fun or F-Fun.
X-Gate
Set the stage to put out the gate from the GX output.
Y-Gate
Set the stage to exit the gate from the GY output.
X-Fun
Make various settings for the sequence in the X direction.Some settings are the same as the settings in Y-Fun.Each setting item corresponds to the grid, and the setting status is indicated by the lighting of the knob.Some settings are not related to each other and some are related to each other, which is a little complicated, but mastering this setting will greatly increase the utility value of Rene.See "X-Fun / Y-Fun Details" below for each setting.
Y-Fun
The same settings as X-Fun can be made for the Y direction.Some settings are common to X-Fun.
Q
Quantize settings. The lower 16 of the 12 grids correspond to 12 scales, and you can set which scale the voltage output from the QCV outputs by turning the grid ON / OFF.See the captions (C to B) on the left side of the touch grid for the corresponding scales for each touch grid.
In addition, the top four touch grids other than the scale are used to store the quantize settings and the scale indicated by each knob, and long-press to function as four presets.And in memory (Stored Quantized Voltage), Even if you turn the knob, the voltage output from the QCV is no longerIt will not be reflected.The voltage corresponding to the memorized knob setting is output. Only the CV output voltage reflects the knob.With this settingTwo independent CVsCan now be output, using QCV for pitch and CV for controlling parameters related to timbre.To exit this state (Stored Quantized Voltage), press the touch plate corresponding to the current memory again.
X-Fun / Y-Fun details
Details of each item that can be set on the X-Fun page.Printed on the left side of each touch gridcaptionSee which grid has which setting.
About logical operations
Some of the X-FUN settings will show up by logical operations.Since this is an operation that takes two ON / OFF as inputs and derives one ON / OFF from it.Rhythm pattern generationIt can be used for such purposes.By inputting clocks of various divisions and gates that change with time into X-MOD etc., it becomes possible to easily put out the gate twice while staying on the same stage, for example, and the resulting sequence can be created. It will become an organic one with a very high degree of freedom.
The figure below shows what kind of gate is output when AND, OR, and XOR take two gate signals, A and B, as inputs.For example, if A is XCLK and B is X-MOD, the output signal will be as follows depending on the CLK By Mod setting.ANDIs "ON when both are ON",ORIs "ON if either is ON",XORIs an operation that outputs "ON when only one is ON".
FWD / BWD / PEND
It is a setting to be performed on the top three grids on the left.Indicates the direction of the sequence. FWD is to the right, BWD is to the left, and PEND is round trip. Only one of FWD / BWD / PEND can be selected, but these modes and the following SNAKE modes can be used together.
SNAKE
If you turn on the grid on the far right of the top row,SNAKE modeIt becomes a sequence mode called, and 16 stages can be sequenced only with XCLK instead of YCLK. In SNAKE mode, you can switch the route to sequence 16 stages by YCLK or Y-CV with a trigger, or specify by CV. When not patched to Y-CV, the sequence path can be switched by the attenuator of Y-CV. Please refer to the manual for a list of sequence routes in SNAKE mode. The SNAKE setting is common to X-FUN and Y-FUN.
SEEK / SLEEP
Set in the lower left grid. Shows the behavior when a sequence arrives at a stage that is not accessed on the Access page. When it is OFF, it jumps to the next accessible stage (SEEK), and when it is ON, it takes a rest (SLEEP) for the corresponding time. This setting is common to X-FUN and Y-FUN.
CLK RST
Set by the leftmost grid on the second row from the top. When ON, the X coordinate of the sequence returns to 2 by entering a gate in the X-MOD.
glide
Set by the leftmost grid on the second row from the bottom. When set to ON, glide will be applied to the pitch change as the stage moves in the X direction while the X-MOD gate is ON. GLIDE does not apply separately for X-MOD and Y-MOD, and can only be set for either one.
CLK by MOD LOGIC
It is a setting to be performed on the second grid from the top and the three grids on the right.By default, the stage is sequenced in the X direction by putting a clock in XCLK, but depending on the setting here, a clock signal using the gate information of both XCLK and X-MOD is generated and the stage is sequenced in the X direction. ..
How to use both gate information (Logical operationThere are three types in), and you can select one from the three grids.From the left, AND, OR, XOR.
For example, if you select XOR, the gate signal that turns ON when only one of XCLK and X-MOD is ON will be used as the clock in the X direction.
Gate by MOD LOGIC
It is a setting to be performed on the third grid from the top and the three grids on the right.By default, if the X-Gate is ON when the stage advances in the X direction, the gate will be output from the GX output, but depending on the settings here, both ON / OFF of the X-Gate and X-MOD The gate information is used to create the signal output from the GX.There are three types of how to use both gate information (logical operations), and you can choose one from the three grids.From the left, AND, OR, XOR.
For example, if you select AND, the gate will be output from GX only when X-Gate is ON and X-MOD is ON.
Gate by Opposing CLK
It is a setting to be done in the bottom three grids on the right.By default, if the X-Gate is ON when the stage advances in the X direction, the gate will be output from the GX output, but depending on the settings here, the gate information for both ON / OFF and YCLK of the X-Gate. Is used to create the signal output from the GX.There are three types of how to use both gate information (logical operations), and you can choose one from the three grids.From the left, AND, OR, XOR.
For example, if OR is selected, the gate will be output from GX when YCLK is input or X-Gate is ON.
