Lmao I just remembered my old Adventure Time OC, Dirt Bike Sally: She’s always trying to get people interested in 1980s BMX bikes.

That’s like, her whole concept: She likes BMX and she bullies people.

Her favorite band is probably the Adventure Time equivalent to Guns and Roses.

Grackle is capable of a wide range of sounds, and a little modulation goes a long way! In this patch we demonstrate how an external envelope can be used to create delay-like effects by modulating Grackle's depth parameter.

If anyone on bsky is interested in keeping up with the recent synthesizer stuff I've been working on follow the Entropic Loop account

Calibration of the application circuit
There are three trimmers in the application circuit. They should be set up as follows:
Firstly, centre the Frequency Control and the Fine Control, since these affect the tuning. The
position you set now will become the β€œzero” position for these knobs.
Plug a source of 1V/Oct control voltages (an analogue synth or MIDI-to-CV convertor) into the
NOTE CV input and adjust PR2 until an octave on the keyboard gives an octave from the
oscillator. Don’t worry about the pitch being wrong (C plays a D, for example). This control alters
the octave range, so it’s fine if pressing C0 then C1 plays D1 to D2, since both are an octave.
The offset adjust trimmer PR1 should be adjusted to give +5V at pin1 of IC4 with the NOTE CV
input grounded, but the exact value is not crucial, since the voltage is quantized to semitones. If you
find the oscillator is β€œskipping” between notes, tweak PR1 until it stops.
Next, adjust PR3, the FREQ MOD CV Zero Trim. With the FM CV Amount control turned down
to zero, PR3 should be adjusted to give 2.5V at pin 7 of IC4. Alternatively, plug the oscillator output
into an electronic tuner and adjust PR3 until the notes are well tuned. If the Fine control is set to
the centre zero position, this should give 2.5V as before!

They don't provide a manual just a datasheet which is annoying but presumably the oct trimmer would be PR2. Send it two notes an octave apart and adjust until it tracks an octave. Not sure if ref on the panel is the offset adjust or freq mod cv zero, but if i had to guess i'd say offset adjust?
