Arpeggiator

Note sequencer

Saving and recalling setups

The settings related to the arpeggiator are the following: AR (ARP RANGE), AD (ARP DIRECTION) and AP (ARP
PATTERN). The arpeggiator is enabled when the range is
set to a non-zero value.

Each part can store a sequence of up to 64 notes. Sequences are recorded step by step.

8 memory slots are available. Press the encoder for a
second to display the load/save menu. When this menu
is shown, the display pulsates.

C/ and G‐ control respectively the clock division and
gate length of the arpeggiator and sequencer.
While an arpeggio is running, hold START/STOP for one
second to latch the arpeggio. Press again to unlatch.
This trick can also be used to latch a non-arpeggiated
note.
Set E‐ (EUCLIDEAN LENGTH) to a value different from
zero and play with EF / ER to replace the arpeggiator
pattern by an euclidean rhythm.

Built-in digital oscillator

1. Press REC. When a multi-timbral layout is used, you
are prompted to select a part number with the
encoder - click to confirm.
2. The display now indicates the step number.
3. Play a note on the MIDI input device to add it to the
sequence.
OR
3. Click the encoder and select a note on the display.
Click the encoder to confirm.
OR
3. Press either TIE or REST to insert a tie or rest.

A digital oscillator can be output on CV4 (in 1M mode),
CV3/CV4 (in 2M, 2P modes), or on CV outputs 1/2/3/4 (in
4M, 4P modes). Select the waveform in the OS(CILLATOR)
setting - OFF disables it.

4. When you have recorded all steps, press REC to leave
the recording mode.

The digital oscillator provides sawtooth, triangle, sine,
square and pulse waveforms.

The start/stop button controls the playback. While a
sequence is playing:

In case of mistake, use the encoder to go back to the
previous steps.

• Incoming MIDI notes transpose the sequence.
• REC can be pressed to re-record notes/steps on the
fly, while the sequence keeps running.

Select +S(AVE)+ and click the encoder to save the current
settings into one of the 8 programs. Select “--” to cancel.
Select +L(OAD)+ and click the encoder to select the
number of the program you want to load. Select “--” to
cancel.
Select +E(XIT)+ to leave the LOAD/SAVE menu.
Refer to the online manual for the other commands
(SysEx transfer, calibration).
Memory slot 1 is always reloaded when the module
starts. It is recommended to frequently save your settings there.

Standards
Gates are +5V, positive polarity (ON = +5V).
CVs are 1 V/Oct, 0V = MIDI note 36.

Yarns
MIDI interface

About Yarns
Yarns is a MIDI to CV/Gate interface handling up to 4
channels of conversion, in multi-timbral or polyphonic
modes, and with built-in sequencing/arpeggiation/pattern generation capabilities.

1M: monophonic
CV

GATE/TRIG

Note CV

Yarns requires a -12V / +12V power supply (2x5 pins
connector). The red stripe of the ribbon cable (-12V side)
must be oriented on the same side as the “Red stripe”
marking on the board.
The power consumption is as follows:
-12V: 2mA ; +12V: 60mA.

Click the encoder, and turn it to modify the parameter.
Click to confirm and get back to the list of parameters.

Essential parameters
LA(YOUT): selects the number of conversion channels
and their grouping into polyphonic parts. Refer to the
previous pages.

2>, 4> and 8> are chaining modes: half of the notes are
handled by Yarns, the rest forwarded to the MIDI out.

TE(MPO): is the tempo for the clock and sequencer. Set
to EX(TERNAL) to sync Yarns with an external MIDI clock.
The tap tempo button can also be used to set the tempo.
PA(RT): in multitimbral modes (such as 2M, 4M, 4T), this
selects the active part to modify. Most settings - such as
MIDI channel, arpeggiator range, etc. are relative to the
selected part.
CH(ANNEL): MIDI reception channel.
LG (LEGATO), PO(RTAMENTO): legato mode and portamento speed.
