Frequently Asked Questions - Pressure Points Make Noise
How do I connect the Pressure Points to my Eurorack case?
Connect the supplied 10-pin ribbon cable to the module's power header and to your case's bus board, ensuring red stripe aligns with -12V. Power consumption: +12V 100mA, -12V 20mA.
What are the touch plates used for?
Each touch plate outputs a CV voltage and a gate signal. The voltage is determined by finger pressure, and the gate is high when touched. Use them to control pitch, modulation, or other parameters.
Can I use Pressure Points with a sequencer?
Yes, it can be used as a touch controller for sequencing. The CV outputs can send pitch voltages, and the gates can trigger envelopes or other modules.
What is the voltage range of the CV outputs?
The CV outputs range from 0V to 5V (or 0V to 10V with an internal jumper change). The voltage is proportional to the pressure applied to the touch plate.
How do I clean the module?
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the front panel. Avoid getting moisture on the jacks or PCB. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Does the module have any indicators?
Yes, each touch plate has an LED that glows brighter with more pressure. This provides visual feedback of the pressure level.
Can I chain multiple Pressure Points modules?
Yes, multiple units can be chained to expand the number of touch plates. They share a common bus for coordinated operation.
What are the dimensions of the module?
Width is 8 HP (40.3 mm), depth is approximately 30 mm (including ribbon cable). Weight is around 100 g.
Is the module safe to touch while powered?
Yes, the touch plates are safe to touch. The module is designed for direct human contact. However, avoid touching exposed circuitry on the back.
What should I do if the module does not power up?
Check the ribbon cable orientation (red stripe to -12V) and verify power supply voltages. Ensure the module is fully inserted into the bus board. If issues persist, contact Make Noise support.
