The panel meter is the LCD display unit located in the lower right on the upper PCB.

Usage

The panel meter is used in two different modes, depending on the position of the MODE SELECTOR knob:

  • With the MODE SELECTOR knob in the COEFF, MINION, IC, OP or HALT positions, the panel meter displays the numerical value patched into the u socket in the OUTPUT JACKS section in the unit range -1 to 1. This allows monitoring any value in a program by connecting any socket on the patch panel with the U socket. In particular, it allows setting the values of coefficient potentiometers by connecting any potentiometer's output to the U socket and turning the respective potentiometer knob until the panel meter displays the desired value.
  • With the MODE SELECTOR knob in the REP or REPF positions, the current OP TIME value is shown. The OP-TIME can be changed using the OP-TIME potentiometer. In REP (repeat) mode, OP TIME values are shown in the 0 to 10 second range. In REPF (repeat fast) mode, OP TIME values are shown in the 0 to 100 millisecond range.
