both to output USB MIDI derived from the audio input, and for rmware updates. It will also accept MIDI input and convert to CV/Gate output.

2. MIDI OUT SOCKET – outputs MIDI messages

derived from the audio input.

3. HI-Z SWITCH – use this switch in the

ON position when using a high impedance input, such as a guitar or bass.

4. LOW CUT SWITCH – use this switch to

cut frequencies below 75 Hz on the input signal, with a slope of 18 dB.

5. BEND SWITCH – the bend switch has

three positions, which aect how the PERFECT PITCH PP1 tracks the input signal:

• O – the CV and MIDI outputs will always quantize to the nearest semitone.

• 1 – the CV output will allow a pitch bend of up to one semitone, and the MIDI outputs will send MIDI pitchbend messages as well as note on/o. If the note is bent through more than one semitone then a new MIDI note on message based on the new note will be sent, and a new gate output on the GATE socket.

• 2 – as with mode 1 but allowing a two semitone bend.

6. GAIN – use this knob to adjust the input gain

for optimal tracking, in conjunction with the level meter (7). (EN) Controls The PERFECT PITCH PP1 is a 10hp Eurorack module, consuming 70 mA on the +12 V rail and 50 mA on the -12 V rail. Please refer to the Eurorack installation guide below for correct installation in your rack.17Quick Start Guide16 PERFECT PITCH PP1

7. LEVEL METER – use this meter with the gain

control (6) to obtain the optimal level of the input signal. When using BEND modes 1 or two the meter acts as a tuner: When all LEDs are unlit then the input is in tune. The Red LED at the top of the meter still lights if the signal is distorted from too high a gain level.

8. GATE CONTROL – use this control to obtain a

suitable gate output from the input signal.

9. LINE OUT – outputs a line level signal

derived from the audio input, for further processing if required.

10. CV OUT – outputs a 1 V/Octave control

voltage derived from the audio input which can be used to control suitable 1 V/octave modules such as VCOs.

11. GATE OUT – outputs a V-trigger gate

at +5 V suitable for triggering Eurorack modules such as Envelope Generators. Use the GATE control (8) for best results.

12. AUDIO INPUT – combined XLR and

6.35 mm jack socket which will accept low

impedance microphone signals, or high impedance instrument signals when the HI-Z switch (3) is ON.

13. DRY THRU – outputs an unprocessed audio

signal at the same level and impedance as the input signal. Hints and Tips

• The PERFECT PITCH PP1 is a monophonic tracker, so playing chords will give you uneven results.

• Play cleanly and precisely.

• Consider compressing your instrument to ensure consistency of level.

• Set the GAIN control carefully: too little and tracking could be impaired, too much and your signal might distort. The Level Meter with BEND switched o will help.

• If you want to use eects on your instrument add them after tracking using the DRY THRU output.

• Take care in setting the GATE control so that unwanted artifacts such as nger movement or noise on the microphone do not result in unwanted gates being produced. PERFECT PITCH PP1 Controls19Quick Start Guide18 PERFECT PITCH PP1 Power Connection The module comes with the required power cable for connecting to a standard Eurorack power supply system. Follow these steps to connect power to the module. It is easier to make these connections before the module has been mounted into a rack case.

1. Turn the power supply or rack case power o

and disconnect the power cable.

2. Insert the 16-pin connector on the power

cable into the socket on the power supply or rack case. The connector has a tab that will align with the gap in the socket, so it cannot be inserted incorrectly. If the power supply does not have a keyed socket, be sure to orient pin 1 (-12 V) with the red stripe on the cable.

3. Insert the 10-pin connector into the socket

on the back of the module. The connector has a tab that will align with the socket for correct orientation.

4. After both ends of the power cable have

been securely attached, you may mount the module in a case and turn on the power supply. HOT USED Red Stripe 200 mm ± 10

Connect end P1 to the module socket Connect end P2 to the power supply + 12V - 12V GROUND + 12V - 12V GROUND Installation The necessary screws are included with the module for mounting in a Eurorack case. Connect the power cable before mounting. Depending on the rack case, there may be a series of xed holes spaced 2 HP apart along the length of the case, or a track that allows individual threaded plates to slide along the length of the case. The free-moving threaded plates allow precise positioning of the module, but each plate should be positioned in the approximate relation to the mounting holes in your module before attaching the screws. Hold the module against the Eurorack rails so that each of the mounting holes are aligned with a threaded rail or threaded plate. Attach the screws part way to start, which will allow small adjustments to the positioning while you get them all aligned. After the nal position has been established, tighten the screws down.21Quick Start Guide20 PERFECT PITCH PP1 PERFECT PITCH PP1 Controles
