Rear Panel
77. MIDI CHANNEL – These 4 switches allow you
to set the MIDI Channel number from 1 to 16,
as shown in the chart.
78. USB PORT – This USB type B jack allows
connection to a computer. The GRIND will
show up as a class-compliant USB MIDI device,
capable of supporting MIDI in and out.
• USB MIDI IN - accepts incoming MIDI data
from an application.
• USB MIDI OUT - sends MIDI data to an
application.
79. POWER – Turn the synthesizer on or off.
Make sure all the connections are made before
turning on the unit.
80. DC INPUT – Connect the supplied 12 V DC
power adapter here. The power adapter
can be plugged into an AC outlet capable of
supplying from 100 V to 240 V at 50 Hz/60 Hz.
Use only the power adapter supplied.
Low Pass Gate and Envelope
To adjust the Low Pass Gate press and hold the
Bank button (3) and use the Timbre control to
adjust its response from being a VCA when fully
clockwise to being a true low pass gate when fully
counter-clockwise or the Morph control (9) to
adjust its ring time and increase the decay of the
internal envelope. The settings are shown by the
number of yellow LEDs lit, from 1 – 4.
Low Pass Gates reduce level and cutoff
simultaneously, resulting in the signal losing high
frequency content as it gets quieter.
Frequency Range
Press and hold the Model button (5) and use the
Harmonics control (5) to set the range of the
Frequency control (8). The number of lit LEDs
corresponds to the range. 1 LED represents C0
+/- 7 semitones, 2 LEDs C1 +/- 7 semitones until
8 LEDs represents C7 +/- 7 semitones. When all
LEDs are lit then the Frequency control has an eight
octave range covering C0 to C8.
GRIND Getting Started
(EN) Step 3: Getting started
OVERVIEW
This 'getting started' guide will help you set up the
GRIND analog synthesizer and briefly introduce its
capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the GRIND to your system, please
consult the connection guide earlier in this
document.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The GRIND is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device,
and so no driver installation is required. The GRIND
does not require any additional drivers to work
with Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system. Use the
rear panel MIDI switches to set the GRIND to a
unique MIDI channel in your system. Connect an
external MIDI keyboard directly to the GRIND MIDI
IN 5-pin DIN type input.
Apply power to the GRIND using the supplied power
adapter only. Ensure your sound system is turned
down. Turn on the GRIND rear panel power switch.
WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time
for the GRIND to warm up before recording or live
performance. (Longer if it has been brought in
from the cold.) This will allow the precision analog
circuits time to reach their normal operating
temperature and tuned performance.

Quick Start Guide
FILTER (VCF) SECTION
Play with the cutoff frequency, and resonance
controls, and listen to their effects on the sound.
The classic 24 dB/octave high pass and low pass
filters allow a great deal of control over the sounds
created by GRIND.
The high-pass filter reduces the level of signals
that are below the cutoff frequency. It effectively
reduces the level of the fundamental, and lower
order harmonics.
The low-pass filter reduces the level of signals that
are above the cutoff frequency. It reduces the levels
of the higher-order harmonics.
The resonance control gives an enhancement to the
signals at the crossover frequency.
The amount of VCF modulation can be varied with
the VCF MOD control, and also the polarity can be
reversed. For example, if modulation increases
the cutoff frequency, then negative polarity will
decrease it.
The VCF modulation source can either be the
envelope or the LFO.
All these features, in addition to using the
patch bay, allows for a great deal of flexibility in
sound creation.
MODULATION SECTION
The low frequency oscillator can be used to
modulate the VCO and the VCF. The LFO frequency
can be varied, and the waveform selected from
square or triangular. An LED indicates the LFO rate.
