TRIP DELUXE

The TRIP DELUXE is the second prototype of the TANDY TRIP rhythm/drone machine. This version has all of the same functionality as the first TRIP, but has 8 additional rhythms that can be selected with the touch-control inputs when the added 'RHYTHMS' switch is set to the 'ALT' position. While the 'RHYTHMS' switch is in the 'HOLD' position, the last ALT-RHYTHM selected will be held, and the touch-control inputs can be used without interrupting the pattern. The ALT-RHYTHMS can be clocked independently of the drum voices' pitch control. This is especially useful when the PITCH is modulated by the sequencer, since the change in pitch of the drum voices will not change the tempo of the rhythm. The ALT-RHYTHMS can be clocked by external clock sources, or by the TOY-RHYTHMS at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1X, 1.5X, 2X, or 3X time. The clock input for the ALT-RHYTHMS is held at averaged input intervals(tap-tempo), so the TOY-RHYTHM tempo can be used to set the ALT-RHYTHM clock, then switched to EXT-CLOCK so that the ALT-RHYTHM clock is independent of the TOY-RHYTHM it was synced to. The DELUXE has 5 volt CV inputs for the two filters, and the pitch. There are 5 volt CV outputs from Sequencer-2, and EG-2. There are also sync outputs from the master-clock, and Sequencer-1 clock, and there is a Clock-sync input jack. All are 0-5 volts(rising).
