Bastl Instruments Popcorn CV INPUTS User manual

instruction
MIN/MAJ is a gate input which inverts the Minor/Major
setting of the quantizer.
TRIG A S. is a CV input to set how many steps are advanced
by triggering the TRIG A input. When the TRIG A knob is set
fully CCW, 0 volts corresponds to -4 and 5 volts correspond
to +4.
GATE T. CV input adds to the gate time.
SLIDE T. CV input adds to the slide time.
CV on the OFFSET input immediately adds a certain offset
to the ACTIVE step position. The offset is 0 to 7 steps
corresponding to 0 to 5 volts.

Alternave CV In Mode:
The Bit Offset
There are two modes for the CV Expander: the normal
(described above) and the alternative. The alternative
mode can be activated in the boot menu. In the
alternative mode the connectors B,C and D are used
as offset bits. This means that you can to set the
binary address of the cursor offset by sending gates
to the inputs. This can be extremely useful when used
with a gate sequencer because you can directly select
which step is activated with the combination of the 3
gate inputs. High gate on connector B will offset the
address by one step (least significant bit), high gate on
connector C will offset the address by two steps and
high gate on the D connector will offset the address by
four steps (most significant bit). Here are all 8 possible
combinations of these gates and how they corresponds
to the 8 steps.

instruction
Holding the JUMP button and pressing one of the STEP
buttons will make that step ACTIVE. The sequencer can
change the step only after the STEP button is released
again.
The Gate Outputs correspond to steps 1-8. The expander
ALWAYS outputs the gate for the current step regardless if
the gate is set to ON or OFF in GATE MODE. The gate time is
the global gate time. If gate time is fully CW the gate holds
HIGH while the step is active. The gates are 0-5 volts.
