INSTALLATION

Remove module from packaging.

Power down your modular synthesizer and disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.

Attach the included power cable to the module’s power connector and connect the other end to the power distribution bus in your EuroRack synthesizer case. If you have a bi-colored ribbon cable the red stripe should be on a same side with a bold white line on a pcb. In case if you have a rainbow-colored ribbon cable the key is brown. Connector also has a key which should match sikscreen on a pcb.

Position the module on the mounting rails in your EuroRack case and screw down mounting screws. Power up! If your case does not turn on properly then you have installed the module incorrectly. Simply power down and make sure to follow the diagram when reconnecting the module.

WEST COAST RANDOM SOURCE

SPUTNIK-MODULAR.COM

The SPUTNIK WEST COAST RANDOM SOURCE is a complex, digitally-controlled, multi-functional source of unpredictable analog voltages. The WCRS has six distinct sections:

Fluctuating Random Voltages (FRV)

Quantized Random Voltages (QRV)

Stored Random Voltages (SRV),

Noise Source

Sample & Hold (S+H)

voltage controlled Integrator.

The WCRS is designed to produce a wide variety of variable speed, pulse-clocked, and slewed random control voltages.

FRVTwo independent sources of random control voltages varying from almost imperceptibly fluctuating to fast, stepped voltages. Variable via CV input (0V to +5V) and the control knob.

QRVThe QRV is a pulse-clocked stepped quantized random voltage generator with CV input (0V to +5V) and panel control over N (1 to 6) which determines the amount of stages. First output can have N+1 states and second output has 2N states.

INTEGRATORThe integrator is a voltage controlled slew (also called portamento. When an input voltage is applied the control knob and CV input determine the amount of slew effecting the output.

SRVThe SRV section is also a pulse-clocked stepped random voltage generator with two outputs, one for a “flat” distribu-tion and one for a narrow level “band” of random voltages controllable via CV (0V to +5V) and the panel knob.

NOISE SOURCEThe WCRS noise source provides three different audio outputs of noise: pink, white, and blue.

SAMPLE AND HOLD

Pulse input clocks the sample and hold circuit.

Two alternating pulse outputs based on the input pulse. CV input jack for sampling.

Three outputs provide voltages sampled from the CV input from based on three different clock variations.
