Asteroid Mini Synthesizer Reference Manual.

*HPWN and WN toggle switch: this toggle switch selects between 'high pass white noise' or 'white

noise'. The difference is like bright and dark sound.

*Decay knob: this determines the length of the envelope generator. You will only here the effect of this

knob if you push the red button or have something patch into the trigger jack input. Use the top toggle

switch to setup the range.

*FX level knob, and the FX toggle switch: the FX level knob mixes in the wet fx signal with the dry signal.

The toggle switch will kill the fx.

*Noise and Square wave select toggle switch: this switch is in relation with the output jack right above it.

When Square wave is selected, you use the Square wave level knob to determine the ouput loudness of

the square wave. When you select the noise wave, it is outputting direct, meaning the noise level knob

does not effect the output level.

*Square wave use: this is not hard wired internally. If you want to use the square wave as a percussion

source you need to manually patch it into the 'Mix' input jack. You can also patch the square wave into

the PCV to create a saw wave.

Jack outputs and inputs

*PCV: this is the direct 'PITCH CV' input jack. Use these for 1v/octave control.

*MIX: this jack is used to mix an external signal with the internal vco, noise, and subharonic generator.

You can for example combine two Asteroid Mini Synthesizer modules, or a blue lantern TPC vco to

create a chord.

*RCV, TCV, LCV: these are cv inputs to control the delay fx parameters. Repeat CV, Time CV, Level CV.

*DRY and Perc output. Dry output does not have the delay fx in the chain. Perc output jack has the final

Delay FX in the chain. Both can be used simultaneous.

*1/4 Line level output jack: this also has the final delay fx in the chain.

Trigger input and thru jack

The Asteroid Mini Synthesizer is a percussive module. In order for the module to make such a snappy

response and return the pitch back to a reference point it must use a trigger input as oppose to using a

gate input. If it used a gate input as the internal circuit it would of remained high or low and the overall

perception would not have been the same (percussive). It would have been another mono synth.

What does this mean?

If you play a keyboard and use a midi to cv converter, for best playing style you are going to have to

trigger notes one at a time, not over lapping. If you are using another module like an LFO there is no

problem. The problem only lies when playing poly notes and they are over lapping.
