CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The tuning procedure is an iteration of successive approximations. We will
try in each iteration to get closer to a perfect tune. Just follow the next steps
and your Kickall will be ready to go in a few minutes.
1 - Turn the knobs to the following position:
TUNE: enter
BEND and TIME: Minimum (counterclockwise)
DECAY: Maximum (slider upper position)
SHAPE: Maximum (fully clockwise)
2 - Feed the TRIG input with a very fast trigger signal (a square signal from
an oscillator can work too)
3 - Plug a V/Oct signal fr m a well calibrated CV s urce like a sequencer
or a keyboard into the TUNE input and connect the OUT f the m dule t
a tuner. Note: if you don't have a hardware tuner you can connect the
module to your audio interface and use a software tuner as well.
4 - Send a voltage of 0V fr m y ur CV s urce and check the tuner, adjuts
the TUNE knob till your tuner shows C1 note. Be patience on this step, on
the low frequency range is a bit harder to be precise.
5 - Send a voltage of 4V fr m y ur CV s urce and check the tuner, adjuts
the ZZZ trimmer located on the upper part of the module (the little blue one)
with a small flat screw driver till your tuner shows you a C5 note.
6 - Now send again a 0V voltage and check the tuner. Y u will n tice that
it is n t sh wing y u the C1 n te that we adjust bef re but we are
cl ser than the first time. Let's repeat steps 4 and 5 till we get C1 and
C5 in b th.
