dual cyclotron 7
OPERATION MANUAL

INTRODUCTION:
The Livewire Dual Cyclotron is a complex output, CV modulation source.
OPERATION SUMMARY:
Function of the Dual Cyclotron is divided into three sections:
a. THE CYCLOTRONS
b. MAIN LFO
c. Input/Output
The two Cyclotron waveform outputs are summed to ether and routed the AUXILIARY OUT and to a
modulation input for the MAIN LFO.
The MAIN LFO can also be modulated by the EXTERNAL CV input prior to final waveshapin enroute
to the MAIN OUTPUT
SECTION 1 - THE CYCLOTRONS:
The Cyclotrons are waveform oscillators capable of Low to Audio frequency rates.
Initial frequency ran es are selected by TIME CONTINUUM momentary switch (options are
STRETCH/NORMAL/COMPRESSED).
Waveform Frequencies can be fine tuned usin the CYCLE FREQUENCY controls.
Initial waveshapes are selected by the LINEAR/DISCRETE to le switch.
Waveform symmetry is adjusted by the SYMMETRY control (next to CYCLE FREQUENCY controls).
The output waveforms are mixed and individual levels adjusted by the AXIS TILT control.
The final level of the summed output are adjusted by the INTENSITY control.
The summed output is routed the AUXILIARY OUT and to a modulation input for the MAIN LFO.
SECTION - MAIN LFO
The MAIN LFO is routed to the MAIN OUT via the SHAPE SHIFTER and FOCUS controls.
Initial frequency ran e is controlled by the LF/AF to le switch and fine tuned by the INITIAL RATE
knob.
MAIN LFO waveform symmetry is controlled by the SYMMETRY knob.
Additional waveshapin is controlled by the SHAPE SHIFTER and FOCUS controls.
SECTION 3 - INPUT/OUTPUT
EXTERNAL IN allows an external CV source to modulate the MAIN LFO.
External CV levels are attenuated by the EXT IN knob.
AUX OUT is the summed output of the CYCLOTRONS.
Output levels are attenuated by the INTENSITY knob.
MAIN OUT is the master output of the Dual Cyclotron

ADDENDUM:
NORM/INVERT jumper
The NORM/INVERT jumper on the rear of the Dual Cyclotron permits the invertin of the MAIN OUT
waveform
TRIM POT
The trim pot on the rear of the Dual Cyclotron has been factory calibrated.
Users should avoid adjustin this control as it is possible to cause the MAIN LFO to stop oscillatin .
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Extreme settin s of the SYMMETRY controls on the Cyclotrons and/or the MAIN LFO can cause them
to stop cyclin . In the event any of the LFO's stop cyclin , adjust the correspondin SYMMETRY
control.
In the event there is no waveform comin from the AUX OUT jack, check the settin s of the
INTENSITY control (INTENSITY controls summed output level to AUX OUT and MAIN LFO).
WARRANTY
Warranty 1 year parts and workmanship full covera e (buyer pays return shippin ).
Initial defects should be returned to dealer or initial point of purchase (subject to dealer return policy).
