Description
Pantograph lets you trace a performance on the X and Y knobs (e.g. oscillator pitch + filter cutoff), record it, then loop it back out the two CV outputs at variable speeds.
Switch UP auditions live; hold DOWN to record (monitored, so you hear it as you play); release to MIDDLE and it loops exactly that length. The Main knob sets playback speed: centre = freeze, left = reverse, right = faster.
Patch a gate into PULSE IN 1 and MIDDLE becomes a triggered envelope; unpatched it free-loops. PULSE OUT 1 fires a trigger at the end of a recording. PULSE OUT 2 runs a gate from the shape of the recording.
