Quick Start Guide SYSTEM 15 Complete ”System 15“ Modular Synthesizer with 16 Modules, MIDI-to-CV Converter and EURORACK GO case V 3.02 SYSTEM 15 Quick Start Guide 3 Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sucient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼" TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modication should be performed only by qualied personnel. This symbol, wherever it appears, alertsyou to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure-voltage that may be sucient to constitute a risk ofshock. This symbol, wherever it appears, alertsyou to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual. Caution To reduce the risk of electric shock, donot remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualied personnel. Caution To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids and no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. Caution These service instructions are for use by qualied service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operation instructions. Repairs have to be performed by qualied service personnel.

HARDWARE SETUP Make all the connections in your system. Keep the System 15 power turned o when making any connections. Ensure your sound system is turned down. Turn on the System 15 before turning on any power ampliers and turn it o last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn o “pops or thumps” in your speakers.

We recommend leaving 30 minutes or more time for the System 15 to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance.

The external keyboard controls the pitch and triggering of notes via the CM1A MIDI Interface. As this can be switched between v-trigger and s-trigger then s-trigger should be selected and the 961 Interface need not be used. Pitch CV is fed to one of the 921As, which daisy chain to the 921B VCOs. The selected waveform from each oscillator is fed to the CP3A-M mixer; which then feeds the 904A LPF. S-triggers are fed to a multiple, and then to the 911s’ s-trigger inputs The output of the 904A LPF is fed to one of the 902 VCAs, which feeds out to your mixer, amplier or DAW. This VCA is controlled by the rst 911 EG. The second 911 EG controls the second 902 VCA. The second 902 VCA signal input is fed from the 921 LFO. Its output is fed to one of the CP35 multiples, whose outputs feed the DC Modulation inputs of the 921B VCOs The second 911 should have a long attack time and full sustain. So long as the rst 911 has a long sustain time, when a note is held a vibrato eect will fade in slowly. When notes are played legato there is little or no vibrato Space Rock This patch creates two of the classic ‘space rock’ sounds, and allows them to be mixed together.

Regeneration on the 904A must be set to 9 or 10 to force the lter to self-oscillate The 921A should have Octave selected and the frequency control set to -6 The 921Bs should be set to ‘Lo’ – these oscillators provide the sweep to the lters To mixer/amplier/DAW The 921 should be set to ‘Sub’ – this is the main modulation for the self-oscillating lter, and manual alteration of the Frequency control helps to produce the classic sound. The pink noise feeding the 904B produces a swept wind eect, that can be altered with the Fixed Control Voltage Altering the Fixed Control Voltage of the 904A also produces interesting eects The CP3A-M balances the two signals, as an alternative feed the outputs of the two lters direct to two mixer or amplier channels. Both sounds benet from a lot of echo! Expressive Lead #2 This sound uses Pulse Width Modulation to a pair of oscillators, one of which should be slightly detuned to fatten the sound.

The sound comes from the 904A LPF, whose Fixed Control Voltage and Regeneration can be set to whatever suits your aim, plus modulation from the second 911 EG. EG settings can be adjusted to suit for the main part of the sound, although medium to high levels on T2 (decay), T3 (release) and E sus(tain) are recommended. The second EG should have a medium length T1 (attack), medium T2 (decay) and minimal T3 (release) and E sus(tain).

They both feed the 904A LPF, and their relative levels can be adjusted with the CP3A-M mixer as required. The 904A’s output is fed to a 902 VCA, whose amplitude is controlled by the 1st 911 EG To obtain the percussive edge the 911’s settings should be T1 (attack) 2ms, T2 (decay) 200ms, T3 (release) 200ms, E sus(tain) 4 seconds The 904A is modulated by a slow sine wave from the 921 LFO and by the 2nd 911 EG, which should have settings around T1 (attack) 1 second, T2 (decay) 50ms, T3 (release) 4 seconds, E sus(tain) 9 MIDI OutTo mixer/amplier/DAW Modules Your System 15 has two rows of modules Top Row (1) 914 Fixed Filter Bank (FFB).
