Common Cre8audio East Beast Questions
How do I sync the East Beast's sequencer to an external MIDI clock?
Connect your MIDI clock source to the East Beast's MIDI In port and set the Tempo Mode switch on the back panel to 'MIDI'. The East Beast will then follow the tempo of the incoming MIDI clock.
Can I save patterns or presets on the East Beast?
No, the East Beast is an analog semi-modular synthesizer without any digital memory or preset storage capabilities. You'll need to document your settings manually.
How do I use the sequencer and create a basic sequence?
Turn the Run/Stop switch to 'Run,' adjust the Tempo knob to your desired speed, and use the Voltage track and Gate track knobs to input values or trigger gates to create a sequence up to 16 steps long.
My East Beast isn't making any sound, what could be wrong?
Ensure the VCA is open (either manually with the VCA knob or via a gate signal), the oscillator is tuned and outputting a signal, and that your headphones or speakers are properly connected to the output jack.
What is the 'Beast-LFO' and how do I use it effectively?
The Beast-LFO is a versatile LFO with multiple waveforms, including a stepped random waveform unique to the East Beast. Use it to modulate parameters like the filter cutoff, oscillator pitch, or VCA for dynamic and evolving sounds.
