Sense can convert and amlif asinal from almost
an te of analo sensor into control voltae and ate
sinals. You can use sensors with variable resistance liht
deendent resistors, bod contacts, water contacts etc. or
sensors that alread outut voltae ulse sensor, accele-
rometer, inductors, iezo etc. amlif them and calibrate
them in the wa to have suitable control voltae and ate
outut sinals.
connectin the sensor
Select whether the signl is voltge (V) or resistnce ()
bsed nd use n pproprite input for the signl.
If you re using very low mplitude voltge (V) signl (such
s n inductor to pick up n electromgnetic field), put
the pre-mp switch into the upper position to increse the
input gin by 50. Note: The pre-mp stge is AC coupled
nd inverting so if you wnt non-inverted signl output use
the “- CV OUT” output.
If you re using ny dedicted (Arduino bsed) nlog
sensor, you cn use the mini pin-heder ptchby to plug
your sensor to the required driving voltge nd connect its
output to the (V) IN voltge input pin on the ptch by.
See the instructions of the specific sensor for more detils.
The (V) IN of the ptch by is normlised to the (V) IN
mono-jck connector.
If you re using resistnce bsed sensor hooked up to
mono-jck cble, this input is simply the two poles of the
resistnce bsed sensor.
Select pullup resistnce similr to the resistnce of your
sensor. The closer the sensor resistnce to the pullup
resistor, the esier it is to clibrte nd gin useful signl.
Just try different settings which work best for you.
controls and oututs
The Gin knob djusts how much gin is pplied
to the input.
The Clipping LEDs show you whether the signl
is mplified too much nd the signl is clipping.
The AC/DC switch selects whether the input is AC or DC
coupled. To simplify it: use AC if you re picking up signls
t udio rte. Use DC coupling for slower signls.
The Offset knob sets the voltge offset pplied to the
signl. When the AC / DC switch is in the DC position the
offset is dded before the gin stge. If the AC/DC switch
is in the AC position the offset is dded fter the gin
stge (see clibrtion).
The CV OUTs output the mplified nd offseted signl.
“CV OUT +” is the non-inverted nd “CV OUT -” is the
inverted version of the signl.
The Threshold knob sets avoltage threshold for
acomparator that outputs gate signals.
The Threshold LEDs indicte Gte signl. They re lso
very useful for clibrtion.
“Gte OUT +” outputs gte when the positive signl
is bove the threshold set by the threshold knob. “Gte
OUT -” outputs gte when the positive signl is below
the threshold.
