Muster A1

Muster A1 is a simplified version of the Muster pattern generator algorithm and is part of the free Muster package.

The gate signal is generated by the Lead LFO and the LFO 1. Both LFOs are generating a sinus signal. The selected speeds of the LFOs create a repeating gate signal (0 Volt is Gate off, +10 Volt is Gate on).

The pitch signal is based on LFO 1 and its speed settings. The pitch signal is limited to ±10 Volt.

The signal of LFO 1 can be additionally modified and modulated using the Scale and Offset parameters.

Notes

  • Additional Muster A1 signals can be accessed using the Muster Ax expander.

ParameterDescription
GATE (port)Output port: Gate signal based on LFO L and LFO 1. The signal can be modified using the corresponding Scale and Offset knobs.
PITCH (port)Output port: Pitch signal based on LFO 1. The signal can be modified using the corresponding Scale and Offset knobs.

The resulting signal is calculated using the following formula
output = (input * Scale) + Offset.
LFO-L - FrequencyFrequency of the Lead LFO. All other LFO frequencies are based on this leading frequency.
Reset (port)Input port: Reset the phase of LFO 1 to 0. The Lead LFO will continue to operate.
LFO-1 - MultiplierThe multiplier is the ratio between the Lead LFO frequency and the LFO 1 frequency. The multiplier can be entered in the range of 1-10. Where 1 is the same frequency as the Lead LFO frequency and 10 is ten times the frequency.
LFO-1 - Multiplier (port)Input port: the modulation signal
LFO-1 - Multiplier (mod)The modulation amount can be adjusted in the range of ±100.0%. When set to any negative value, the modulation signal will be inverted.
LFO-1 - ScaleScales the LFO 1 signal. Scale can be entered in the range of ±1. Where -1 is the inverted signal, 0 is no signal, and +1 is the original pitch signal.
LFO-1 - Scale (port)Input port: the modulation signal
LFO-1 - Scale (mod)The modulation amount can be adjusted in the range of ±100.0%. When set to any negative value, the modulation signal will be inverted.
LFO-1 - OffsetOffset is a DC offset of the LFO 1 signal. It can be entered in the range of ±1, which equals ±2.5 volts.
LFO-1 - Offset (port)Input port: the modulation signal
LFO-1 - Offset (mod)The modulation amount can be adjusted in the range of ±100.0%. When set to any negative value, the modulation signal will be inverted.
