Xaoc Devices Tirana User Manual

OPERATOR’S MANUAL 60/1.2
UTILITY MICRO SEQUENCER MODEL OF 1960
SALUT
Thank you for purchasing the Xaoc Devices product. The Tirana module comes in handy as a classic step sequencer, modulation source, voltage bank, arpeggiator etc., serv-
ing as the utility module for supporting other sequencers, but it also shines on its own terms. Due to smart features to be described in this manual, Tirana provides a number of very interesting possibilities, and turns out to be surpris-
ingly powerful module, while preserving the ease of use and minimal real estate in the system. It is only 6hp, and therefore a perfect solution for compact and portable modular setups, but can empower just any system to a great extent.

jumper on the mains in place (for single unit operation; for multiplied setups read the instructions further down in the manual). Now plug in the ribbon cable to the bus board, observing the red stripe orientation. Tirana has been secured against reversed power connection but it is always a good habit to pay attention to this. Mount the screws and turn your system back on.
