Lunar ModulatorUser Manual

Index of controls

Every control on the FM-1, with the sections of this manual that describe it. The index is generated from the text each time the manual is built, so it always matches the edition you are reading.

  • Controls are listed by kind: the encoders, the potentiometer, the buttons, the labels printed under the black keys, and the connectors. Names are written as the panel prints them.
  • The first entry under each control, in bold, is its place in the panel tour (chapter 3), which shows where it sits on the instrument.
  • Sequencer functions without a key yet, such as LOOP, are listed last, with a dashed outline. Which button or combination carries each of them is still to be decided (chapter 7).
  • Keys are not listed one by one. Chapter 3 describes the keyboard, and chapter 7 what the keys do in the sequencer.
