ADVANCED SETUP
The previous pages cover all you need to know for the most common setups. However, Mutant Brain has lots
more to offer if you want to dig a little deeper.
The following sections detail all the gate, trigger and CV options available and explains in more detail how
MIDI to CV is implemented.
Monophonic note priority modes
Each note input has three note priority modes which are used for monophonic assignments. If you are using
sequencers these do not matter but they are very useful for keyboard players. They are:
 Last note priority – The most recently played note takes precedence. If multiple notes are held down
and the currently playing note is released, the next most recent note plays.
 Highest note priority – The highest pitched note takes precedence. If multiple notes are held down
and the currently playing note is released, the next highest note plays.
 Lowest note priority – The lowest pitched note takes precedence. If multiple notes are held down
and the currently playing note is released, the next lowest note plays.
Polyphonic note mapping modes
You may have noticed that as well as the three priority modes, the Note Inputs also have options for:
 2 note cycle
 3 note cycle
 4 note cycle
 2 note chord
 3 note chord
 4 note chord
These options are used in the polyphonic “chord” and “cycle” modes where a single note input can control up
to four CV and four gate outputs.
 In Chord modes we can map up to four held notes at the same time, so we could use four oscillators
tuned the same to play a chord of up to four notes. We can map the first, second, third and fourth
notes to their own CV and Gate outputs
 In Cycle modes, the operation is similar except that consecutive notes that are received over MIDI
are assigned cyclically to the first, second, third and fourth notes (even for the same note being
received multiple times). You can return to the first note position using the button on the front of the
unit (this also resets other settings)
Here is an example of how you can map four CV/gate output pairs to play a 4 note chord across four voices:
