(xvi) END PULSE OUT
A single +10V pulse is produced at this output each time that the sequence reaches its final step and
resetsto step 1.
(xvii) INT CK CK OUT
The +10V squarewave clock signal generated by the internal clock is outputhere.
Inserting a lead at this point does not break the internal circuit, and if the CLOCK SWITCH is set to INT
the sequence will continue to operate as before.
4. SOME IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED
If you are not fully acquainted with analogue sequencersand wouldlike a few ideastoget you started,
the following may beof some help. Of course, there’snoroom to do more than scratch the surface ofthe
RS200's possibilities in this manual, so remember: an open mind and some free experimentation can
yield startling results. Here are some basic ideas:
Set your RS200 and synthesiser up as described in the QUICK TOUR. Then…
• Set up a sequence andapply an LFO to the INT CK CV IN. This modulates the speed at which
the sequence runs.
• Drive theEXTCLOCKIN ataudiofrequencies,and usethe 8 steps todefinea complex waveform.
Direct this back to the synth as an independent oscillator. The shape is multi-stage and heavily
quantised, so it has a rather 'digital' character quite unlike the standard oscillators in your RS
Integrator.
• Use the TRIGGER switches creatively. Trigger outputs are used primarily to trigger the
synthesiser’s envelopes.You can manipulate your sequence in real-time byswitching the trigger
switches between trigger ON and OFF whilst the sequence is playing. If triggers are placed at
the beginnings of some notes and not others it will give a more human feel to the sequence,
analogous to guitarists who pluck or hammer strings at the beginnings of some notes but not
others.
• Use other RS Integrator modules such as the RS280 Divider module to create complex timing
changes within your sequences. For example, connect the INT CK CK OUT to the CK/SIG IN of
the RS280, and return the ÷16 output from the RS280 to the START/STOP EXT input on the
sequencer. This will cause the sequence to stop every16 steps, and then restart after an interval
of a further 16 clock pulses. Each time the sequence runs, it will start one step further tothe right,
creating complex changes in your music.
• Use an RS150 Sequential Switch to extend your sequencesto 24 steps. You dothisby connecting
CV A OUT to IN1 on the Sequential Switch, CV B OUT to IN2, and CV C OUT to IN3. Then
connect the END PULSE OUT on the sequencer to the CLOCK IN on the Sequential Switch.
Now, each time the sequencer reaches step 8 it will send a pulse to the switch advancing the
input by 1.
• Put all the RESET/RUN/SKIP switches to the SKIP position. Now apply noise from an RS40
