SURGES
SURGES Controls
10. IN 2 – use this 3.5 mm TS jack socket to input
a second, clean, signal into the SURGES. The
LED above will light if a signal is present.
Both inputs can be used simultaneously.
11. V/OCT – use this 3.5 mm TS jack socket to
track the cutoff frequency at 1 volt/octave.
Range is -3 V to +7 V.
12. LOW PASS LEVEL – use this 3.5 mm TS jack
to socket control the level of the low pass
output from an external CV source. Range is
0 V (no output) through +5 V (unity) up to
+7 V (compressed). If no external voltage is
used then +7 V is applied internally.
13. HIGH PASS OUT – use this 3.5 mm TS jack
socket to access the high pass filter output.
14. BAND PASS OUT – use this 3.5 mm TS jack
socket to access the band pass filter output.
15. LOW PASS OUT – use this 3.5 mm TS jack
socket to access the low pass filter output.
All outputs can be used simultaneously.
CALIBRATION
1. Disconnect all external CV controls, except
a suitable calibrated 1 volt/octave keyboard
connected to the v/oct input (11).
2. Set the Freq control (1) to around its midway
point, and the Reso control (3) to maximum.
3. Either by ear, or using a tuner, adjust the
trimmer (9) until playing notes one octave
apart produces a correctly tuned octave output
on the low pass output (15).

Connect end P1 to the module socket
Connect end P2 to the power supply
The module comes with the required power cable
for connecting to a standard Eurorack power
supply system. Follow these steps to connect
power to the module. It is easier to make these
connections before the module has been mounted
into a rack case.
1. Turn the power supply or rack case power off
and disconnect the power cable.
2. Insert the 16-pin connector on the power cable
into the socket on the power supply or rack
case. The connector has a tab that will align
with the gap in the socket, so it cannot be
inserted incorrectly. If the power supply does
not have a keyed socket, be sure to orient pin 1
(-12 V) with the red stripe on the cable.
