NEUTRON User Manual
10. Preset Patches
The following examples give you a glimpse into the wonderful world of modular
synthesis. Try these patches to show the versatile power of the Neutron.
Default Patch - This is a great starting point for sound creation. No patching
required. A standard sawtooth sound will be audible using these settings.
Out Of This World – A Sci-fi style sound showing off the S&H function of the
Neutron. Here, the VCF self-resonates and drops into wonderfully deep sub tones.
Play with the VCF FREQ control to sweep through various textures. Patch VCF 2
into OSC 2, LFO UNI into OSC 1&2 and S&H into LFO RATE.
Edge Synth – A slow evolving sound using frequency modulation and wave
shape blending to create either a screaming when the filter is set to HPF or a dark
bubbling bass with the filter set to LPF.
Patch S&H OUT to OSC 2 IN, LFO to DELAY TIME and MULT 1 (LFO BY DEFAULT) to
SHAPE 1.
Quantum Loop - A Sub Sawtooth sound with VCF squelch. A sample & hold noise
loop is added to give some movement to the sound. Try different amounts of
resonance to hear the variations.
Patch OSC MIX to S&H IN then S&H OUT to FREQ MOD.
11. Troubleshooting
Before turning on the Neutron power, please check that:
Your speakers or headphones are correctly connected.
The external devices are powered-off.
Turn the VOLUME knob on the Neutron to the off position.
Turn on the POWER switch located on the rear panel.
The Neutron will run its startup routine.
Once the Neutron has stopped the LED calibration sequence, you can then turn on
power to the connected devices and raise the volume to an appropriate level.
Before turning off the Neutron, please check that:
The output level is down on all connected audio devices.
The power is then turned off for all connected audio devices.
11.1 There is no sound coming from the
synthesizer.
Check if the audio connections are correct.
Check if the volume control is turned up.
Check if the overdrive volume is up as this can cut audio if fully turned to the left.
If using headphones, check that the volume on the rear of the Neutron is
turned up.
Check the position of the FREQ cutoff point. Depending on the filter type selected,
it determines where the FREQ control will let audio pass through the filter stage.
Check that any patch cables that are in use are not cutting the sound.
For example, if a 3.5 mm cable is patched into VCA IN and the other end of the
cable is not plugged in, no sound will be audible.
11.2 There is no mIDI data coming from an
external source.
Check if the MIDI connections are made to the USB or the MIDI IN on the
front panel.
Check if the Neutron MIDI channel is set to the same one as the transmitting
device using the DIP switches on the rear.
Check that you are using either USB or MIDI. The Neutron may not respond if two
sets of MIDI data are being transmitted to it via USB and the MIDI IN port at the
same time.
11.3 The synthesizer is behaving erratically.
Check that any connected devices/applications are not creating a MIDI loop which
is feeding back MIDI data.
11.4 The synthesizer sounds out of tune.
The Neutron calibrates its tuning on start up. If it sounds out of tune, please look
at section 5.4 to tune the oscillators to your choice of MIDI note.
