Muster A3
Muster A3 is an advanced pattern generator.
Muster A3 is the flagship pattern generator module and part of the paid Muster package. One can leverage up to 3 different sinus LFOs to create a gate and pitch signal pattern.
The gate signal is generated by LFO 1 and LFO 2. 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 3 and its speed settings. The pitch signal is limited to ±10 Volt.
The signal of each LFO can be additionally modified and modulated using the Scale and Offset parameters.
Notes
- Additional Muster A3 signals can be accessed using the Muster Ax expander.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| GATE (port) | Output port: Gate signal based on LFO 1 and LFO 2. The signal can be modified using the corresponding Scale and Offset knobs. |
| PITCH (port) | Output port: Pitch signal based on LFO 3. 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 - Frequency | Frequency of the Lead LFO. All other LFO frequencies are based on this leading frequency. |
| LFO-L - Frequency (port) | Input port: the modulation signal. It can be any signal in the range of ±10.0 volts. |
| LFO-L - Frequency (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. |
| Run | Start/Stop to output the GATE and PITCH signal. |
| Run (port) | Input port: Any signal other than 0.0 volt will let the sequencer run. If the signal drops back to 0.0 volt, the sequencer stops and resets the phases of LFO 1/2/3 and the Lead LFO. |
| Reset (port) | Input port: Reset the phase of LFO 1/2/3 to 0. The Lead LFO will continue to operate. |
| LFO-1/2/3 - Multiplier | The multiplier is the ratio between the Lead LFO frequency and the LFO 1/2/3 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-1/2/3 - Multiplier (port) | Input port: the modulation signal |
| LFO-1/2/3 - 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-1/2/3 - Scale | Scales the LFO 1/2/3 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-1/2/3 - Scale (port) | Input port: the modulation signal |
| LFO-1/2/3 - 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-1/2/3 - Offset | Offset is a DC offset of the LFO 1/2/3 signal. It can be entered in the range of ±1, which equals ±2.5 volts. |
| LFO-1/2/3 - Offset (port) | Input port: the modulation signal |
| LFO-1/2/3 - 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. |
| Gate Level | Gate Level influences when the Gate is open or closed. By default, the Gate Level is 0.0 volts. It can be entered in the range of ±1, which equals ±5.0 volts. |
| Gate Level (port) | Input port: Signal to modulate the Gate Level. |
| Gate Level (mod) | Modulation intensity of the input port signal. TODO |
| Gate Mode - Plus | “Plus” combination mode of the LFO 1 and LFO 2 signal. The Gate Modes can be combined in the following ways Plus(off) and Mult(off): LFO 1 Plus(on) and Mult(off): LFO 1 + LFO 2 Plus(off) and Mult(on): LFO 1 * LFO 2 Plus(on) and Mult(on): (LFO 1 + LFO 2) * (LFO 1 * LFO 2) |
| Gate Mode - Mult | “Multiplication” combination mode of the LFO 1 and LFO 2 signal. |
| Gate Mode (port) | When the Gate Mode is modulated by a signal, the Gate Mode is toggled between Plus(on) and Mult(on). A signal <= 0.0 volts will activate the “Plus” mode, else “Mult” mode is activated. |
