Limited WARRANTY: Make Noise warrants this product to be free of defects in materials or construction for a period of one year from the date of purchase (proof of purchase/invoice required). Malfunction resulting from wrong power supply voltages, backwards power cable connection, abuse of the product or any other causes determined by Make Noise to be the fault of the user are not covered by this warranty, and normal service rates will apply.
Installation: The Make Noise Echophon is an electronic signal generator requiring 70mA of +12V and 40ma of -12V regulated power and properly formatted distribution receptacle to operate. It is designed to be used within the euro format modular synthesizer system. Go to http://www.doepfer.de/a100_man/a100t_e.htm for the details of this format.
2A 3A 5A 6A 1A 1B 2B 4A Echophon Panel Controls Audio Input/ Output 1A. Signal IN: AC coupled, expects standard signal level of 10Vpp signal. 2A. Level Control for Signal IN: overloads at 70% to 100% 3A. Mix CV IN: unipolar control input. Range 0V to +5V. 4A. Trim for Mix Control (see calibration procedure) 5A. MIX Panel Control: blends between DRY (un-processed) signal & WET (processed) Signal. With nothing patched to MIX CV IN, works as standard panel control.
1C 3A 2C 3C 4C 5C 6C 7C 9C 8C Pitch Shift 1C. Temphonic LEDs: indicate mechanics of the pitch-shifting machine. 2C. Pitch Panel Control: bipolar panel control. At 50% no pitch shift, greater than 50% shifts pitch UP and less than 50% shifts pitch DOWN. Range is ALWAYS dependent upon DEPTH setting. 3C. Pitch Trim (see calibration procedure) 4C. DEPTH Panel Control: unipolar panel control that sets the index of the pitch shift, ranging from sub-mi crotonal chorusing to 4 octaves harmonizing. 5C.
3D 1D 2D 4D 3F 5D 6D 3E 1E 1F 2E 2F ECHO 1D. ECHO TIME LED: Indicates Tempo of the ECHO CLOCK 2D. ECHO CLOCK OUT: outputs the ECHO TIME as 4ms wide clock pulse. 0V-5Vpp 3D. ECHO TIME Panel Control: sets time/ length of Echo, from 7ms to 1.7 sec 4D. ECHO TIME CV Attenuator: unipolar attenuator for Echo Time CV IN. 5D. ECHO TIME CV IN: unipolar control signal input. Range 0V to +8V. 6D. TEMPO IN: allows synchronization of Echoes to multiple or division of an external Clock.
Getting Started: Patch the signal to be processed into the SIGNAL IN (1A). The associated Level Control (2A) accommodates modular synthesizer signals of 10Vpp for the first 70% of its rotation. Beyond 70% on the Level Control, there will be clipping followed by digital overloading. Take your output from the MIX OUT (6A) and patch to your final mixer/ monitoring system. Set the MIX Panel Control (5A) to about 50% for the typical patch.
Using the External Feedback Loop: Patch the FB OUT (2B) to an external module such as the modDemix. Set up the external module to process the FB OUT signal. For the modDemix you could set up the typical Ring Modulation patch where you have a sine or triangle waveform from a VCO patched to the CARRIER input on the modDemix. The FB OUT signal would be patched to the Signal IN on the modDemix. Take modDemix Signal OUT and patch to the final stage in the external feedback loop, the VCA.
Patch Ideas: All patches require signal to be processed patched to Signal IN, Level Control set to accommodates incoming signal and MIX OUT patched to final mixer/ monitoring system. The Pillars of Hercules: this patch is designed for processing percussive sounds.
