Common Cre8audio West Pest Questions
How do I sync West Pest's sequencer to an external MIDI clock?
Set the sequencer MODE switch to EXT and connect MIDI Clock signal to the MIDI IN jack. The tempo will then be controlled by the external MIDI clock source.
Can I save and recall sequences or presets on the West Pest?
No, the West Pest does not have internal memory for saving sequences or presets. You will need to record the audio output or use external sequencing tools to save patterns.
How do I create a basic melody with the West Pest?
Use the sequencer to program steps with different pitch values using the PITCH knob; patch the sequencer output to the 1V/OCT input on the oscillator to control the oscillator's pitch, and adjust the GATE length using the GATE knob.
My West Pest isn't making any sound, what could be the problem?
First, ensure that the oscillator is outputting a signal (check the oscillator waveform switch setting and its associated LEDs), the VCA is open (adjust the ATTACK and SUSTAIN knobs), and that the audio output is properly connected and amplified; also make sure that sequencer mode is RUN or EXT.
What does the 'PUNCH' circuit do, and how do I use it effectively?
The PUNCH circuit is a dynamic waveshaper that adds transient punch and harmonic richness; experiment by increasing the PUNCH knob for a more aggressive sound, and modulate the PUNCH amount using CV for dynamic effects.
