There are several
presets that run between the switches of the jacks. If you insert a patch-cable
into either jack the preset is disconnected.
The interesting
one is the signals from the Sequencer, Sloth chaos and Tri from LFO2 are mixed
and fed to the S&H sample input. This means it is continually generating
stepped and smooth CVs (for there is a Slew pot) that are different but related
to everything else that is going on.
The Clock Divider
gives divisions of /2, /8, /32 and /128.
The Sequencer has
4 stages but the direction control can be used to make it count forwards and
backwards enabling more complex sequences. In normal operation, the ‘x’ output
gives the CV generated by the stages 1 thru to 4, meanwhile the ‘y’ output will
give a CV signal generated by stages 4 thru to 1.
The VC Delay can
be used to generate reverb type sounds but can also be pushed into making all
sorts of unexpected zipper noises and effects when the Time and Feedback pots
are turn high.
The third VCA is
built into the input of the Ladder VCF. If nothing is patched into the ‘CV VCA’
input, the VCA is always on.
The Sloth Chaos
is a very slow CV generator, it can be used to liven up a patch and create
slowly evolving sounds. It cannot be controlled, it does what it wants.
I have a batch of aluminium panels that have minor scratches or scuff marks on them, usually just a couple and not particularly bad, so these are available for USD40 until sold out. Please specify 'B-stock panel' when ordering.

'atsa good one. got to get soldering again.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you sleep? So much good stuff coming out of Australia!
ReplyDeleteOMFG YEAAAAAHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteI am setting up to build two of these. Any chance you can post an Eagle file with the silkscreen layer? This board is fairly complex and having that would make finding components much quicker.
ReplyDeleteI don't use Eagle but happy to supply the gerber file
ReplyDeleteHey, where does one find the BOM for the Null-A2? Thanks!

DeleteJust purchased one off eBay. LOVE this module!! Solid piece of gear - feature flippin' rich! Thank you X a million!
