Connect the output of your audio interface\/sound card to the Carrier audio input (5) input. Power on your modular system with the INT. OSC push-button pressed. The INT. OSC LED will blink in orange.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Make sure that no additional sound (such as email notification sounds, background music etc.) from your computer will be played during the procedure. Make sure that your speakers\/monitors are not connected to your audio interface &#8211; the noises emitted during the procedure are aggressive and can harm your hearing. On non-studio audio equipment (for example the line output from a desktop computer), you might have to turn up the gain to the maximum.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"auto\">When you are all set, play the firmware update file into the module. While the module receives data, the color of the ALGORITHM knob will reflect signal level &#8211; green or yellow is fine, red is too high! You can use the Carrier amplitude (D) knob to adjust the input gain.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In case the signal level is inadequate, the LEDs will blink in red. Press the INT. OSC button and retry with a correct gain. If this does not help, please retry the procedure from another computer\/audio interface, and make sure that no piece of equipment (equalizer, FX processor) is inserted in the signal chain.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><b>The calibration of the METALOT is in 2 phases:<\/b><\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">PHASE 1:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Disconnect all CV inputs.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the INT. OSC button for five seconds until the ALGORITHM knob blinks in turquoise and the oscillator state LED blinks in yellow.<\/li>\n<li>Put the switch to EXT VCA for LEVEL 2.<\/li>\n<li>Put the switch to EXT VCA for LEVEL 1 and connect the CV output of a well-calibrated keyboard interface or MIDI-CV converter to the LEVEL 1 CV input.<\/li>\n<li>Play a C2 note, or send a 1V voltage from your CV source.<\/li>\n<li>Press the INT. OSC button. The ALGORITHM knob blinks in fuchsia.<\/li>\n<li>Play a C4 note, or send a 3V voltage from your CV source.<\/li>\n<li>Press the INT. OSC button.<\/li>\n<li>Calibration is done!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"auto\">PHASE 2:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"auto\">\n<li>Put the switch to EXT VCA for LEVEL 1 and connect a constant positive voltage source (for example an ON gate signal, or the output of an offset module, or the CV from a CV\/Gate interface when you play the highest note on a keyboard) to the first LEVEL CV input, and leave all the other jacks of the module disconnected.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the INT. OSC button for 10 seconds until both the INT OSC and the big knob LEDs blink in red.<\/li>\n<li>Put the switch to INT VCA for LEVEL 1 and disconnect all patch cables from the module.<\/li>\n<li>Press the INT. OSC button. The LEDs will blink in green now. Wait for a couple of seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Press the INT.
