• VCO 1 (Voltage Controlled Oscillator 1) Section: Controls for VCO 1 Frequency, Waveform selection, Volume, and VCO 1 Out. Features Tune control and modulation options.
• VCO 2 (Voltage Controlled Oscillator 2) Section: Controls for VCO 2 Beat, Frequency, Waveform selection, Volume, and VCO 2 Out. Includes LFO and ADS modulation inputs and a Synchro/VCO 1 switch.
• VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) Section: Controls for VCF Frequency and Resonance. Features a 24 dB/oct filter, Keys Ctrl input, CV In 1V/Oct, and VCF Audio In.
• VCA (Voltage Dikawasa Amplifier) Sections: Dedicated VCAs for VCO 1, VCO 2, and a master VCA for overall output volume.
• ADS (Attack, Decay, Sustain) Envelope Generators: Two independent envelope generators (ADS 1 and ADS 2) with controls for Attack, Decay, and Sustain. ADS 1 includes a Gate In, while ADS 2 features an ADS Control input and Decay Off switch.
• Sambungan Input/Output: Various patch points including Mod In, Gate In, MIDI In, In 1 Gain, Out Gain, In 1, In 2, Out, Rev Out, Noise Out, Phones, and Audio Out.

5. Setélan

Follow these steps to set up your Behringer Kobol Expander:

1. Sambungan Daya: Connect the included power supply to the DC input on the rear panel of the Kobol Expander and then to a suitable power outlet.
2. Kaluaran Audio: Connect the AUDIO OUT jack to your mixer, audio interface, or amplifier using a standard 1/4-inch TS cable. For monitoring with headphones, connect to the PHONES jack.
3. Sambungan MIDI: For MIDI control, connect a MIDI cable from your MIDI controller or interface to the MIDI IN port on the Kobol Expander. The MIDI THRU port can be used to daisy-chain other MIDI devices.
4. Nambal: Use the included patch cables to explore the semi-modular capabilities. Start with simple patches to understand signal flow.
5. Daya Hurung: Once all connections are secure, power on the unit. The power indicator LED will illuminate.
