- MIDI: Synchronizes to an external MIDI clock received via the MIDI IN port or USB.
- USB: Synchronizes to an external clock received via the USB connection.
- TRIG: Synchronizes to an external trigger pulse.
Тууралоо САЛКЫН to add a rhythmic feel and PROB (Probability) to introduce variations in trigger playback. FLAM adds a quick double-trigger effect.
6.3 Trigger and Accent Outputs
The 10 dedicated trigger and accent outputs allow for precise control over individual drum sounds. The accent outputs provide a higher voltage pulse, which can be used by compatible drum modules to create dynamic variations in sound.
6.4 CV Output
The single CV output can be assigned to control various parameters within the RS-9 or sent to other Eurorack modules for modulation. Consult the settings menu for CV assignment options.
7. Техникалык тейлөө
