INSTALLATION
Remove module from packaging.
Power down your modular synthesizer and disconnect the power
cable from the wall outlet.
Attach the included power cable to the module’s power connector and
connect the other end to the power distribution bus in your EuroRack
synthesizer case. If you have a bi-colored ribbon cable the red stripe
should be on a same side with a bold white line on a pcb. In case if you
have a rainbow-colored ribbon cable the key is brown. Connector also
has a key which should match sikscreen on a pcb.
Position the module on the mounting rails in your EuroRack case and
screw down mounting screws. Power up! If your case does not turn on
properly then you have installed the module incorrectly. Simply power
down and make sure to follow the diagram when reconnecting the
module.

WEST COAST RANDOM SOURCE
SPUTNIK-MODULAR.COM
The SPUTNIK WEST COAST RANDOM SOURCE is a complex, digitally-
controlled, multi-functional source of unpredictable analog voltages. The
WCRS has six distinct sections:
Fluctuating Random Voltages (FRV)
Quantized Random Voltages (QRV)
Stored Random Voltages (SRV),
Noise Source
Sample & Hold (S+H)
voltage controlled Integrator.
The WCRS is designed to produce a wide variety of variable speed, pulse-
clocked, and slewed random control voltages.

DESCRIPTION

SPUTNIK MODULAR
FRV
Two independent sources of random control
voltages varying from almost imperceptibly
fluctuating to fast, stepped voltages. Variable
via CV input (0V to +5V) and the control
knob.
QRV
The QRV is a pulse-clocked stepped
quantized random voltage generator with
CV input (0V to +5V) and panel control
over N (1 to 6) which determines the
amount of stages. First output can have N+1
states and second output has 2N states.
INTEGRATOR
The integrator is a voltage
controlled slew (also called
portamento. When an input
voltage is applied the control
knob and CV input determine
the amount of slew effecting the
output.
SRV
The SRV section is also a
pulse-clocked stepped random
voltage generator with two
outputs, one for a “flat” distribu-
tion and one for a narrow level
“band” of random voltages
controllable via CV (0V to +5V)
and the panel knob.
NOISE SOURCE
The WCRS noise
source provides three
different audio outputs
of noise: pink, white,
and blue.
SAMPLE AND HOLD
Pulse input clocks the sample
and hold circuit.
Two alternating pulse outputs
based on the input pulse.
CV input jack for sampling.
Three outputs provide voltages
sampled from the CV input from
based on three different clock
variations.
