NEUTRON Getting started
Step 3: Getting started
(EN)
OVERVIEW
This 'getting started' guide will
help you set up the Neutron analog
synthesizer and briefly introduce
its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the Neutron to your
system, please consult the hook-up
guide on page 10.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The Neutron is a USB Class Compliant
MIDI device, and so no driver
installation is required.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your
system. Use the rear panel MIDI
switches to set the Neutron to a
unique MIDI channel in your system.
Connect an external MIDI keyboard
directly to the Neutron MIDI IN 5 pin
DIN type input or MIDI over USB.
Apply power to the Neutron using
the supplied power adapter only.
Ensure your sound system is turned
down. Turn on the Neutron rear panel
power switch.
OSCILLATOR SECTION
Each oscillator has a tune control
which gives approximately +/-1
octave range in 8/16/32 modes or a
range from 0.7 Hz to over 50 kHz when
all range LEDs are illuminated.
The OSC MIX control is used to blend
between the two oscillators to create
rich harmonic sounds.
Adjust the SHAPE control
for each oscillator to select
different waveforms.
The P.WIDTH affects the first two wave
shapes, TONE MOD and SQUARE WAVE.
When OSC SYNC is engaged, oscillator
1 tracks the midi note and provides
a reference to reset the period of
oscillator 2.
When the PARAPHONIC switch is
engaged, it allows the two oscillators
to be independently pitched when
more than one MIDI note is played
simultaneously. If only one note is
played, both oscillators will be driven
at the same pitch.
The NOISE control injects white noise
into the filter which can be used to
add another texture to the sound.
Noise can be used to create percussive
sounds and interesting effects.
VCA Bias is used to control the VCA.
It allows the user to 'open' the VCA
without triggering the envelope (e.g.
with a MIDI note), allowing audio to
sound continuously.
FILTER SECTION
The Neutron has 12 dB filter with
three modes available: High Pass
Filter , Band Pass Filter and Low
Pass Filter with Resonance control.
The mode button steps through each
filter mode.
The FREQ control sets the filter cutoff
frequency. By default, the LFO is
patched through the FILTER DEPTH
control. This enables modulation of
the filter frequency using the LFO.
The VCF has a second output which is
accessible from the patch bay (VCF 2).
VCF 2 mode is determined by the
selected VCF mode.
The relationship is:
Mode = , VCF2 =
Mode = , VCF2 =
Mode = , VCF2 =
This allows for additional filter
modes. For example, a notch filter
can be created by summing VCF1
and VCF2 when the filter mode is
set to by summing VCF 1 and
VCF 2 then patching the summed
output into OD IN.
KEY TRACK applies keyboard tracking
to the VCF. This sets the filter cutoff
frequency based on the latest midi
note received. The base cutoff
frequency is set using the FREQ
control with midi notes increasing
the cutoff frequency relative to the
note being played. Additionally, this
allows the filter to be played like an
oscillator when the resonance control
is turned up.
