Disting mk4

Disting mk4 is a eurorack swift army knife. It is made by Expert Sleepers.

The Disting firmware gets updated regularly, be sure to check the firmware page for the latest version and latest manual.

These cheat sheets cover firmware V4.22.

To change algorithms, press S once to enter the menu, and a second time to select the first menu item.

Turn the S encoder to change the current selected parameter. Press Z on algorithms that do not have knob recording, or press and turn S to change which parameter is selected.

For additional details about parameters, scales, and note numbers see the excellent cheatsheet by vo1t.

N1 Switch

Controls

Z
control CV, or trigger (param 1)
X
Signal #1
Y
Signal #2
A
Signal #1, or #2
B
Signal #2, or #1

Parameters

pos min max default
0 0 1 0
Mode.
When 0, Z acts as a switch at 0V.
When 1, Z is a trigger.

pos min max default
1 0 32 3
Hysteresis.
Higher values smoothes jitter on Z when Z is a 0V switch to prevent bouncing when Z near 0V.

pos min max default
2 0 99 0
Fade

pos min max default
3 -1 99 99
Chance. Add 1 to get % chance of switch occurring.

Parameters

pos min max default
0 0 99 0
Chooses wavetable

pos min max default
1 0 99 0
Chooses wave

pos min max default
2 0 3 0
Window, or envelope applied to pulsaret.
1: Rectangular
2: Linear attack
3: Linear decay
4: Gaussian

pos min max default
3 0 1 0
Y Mode.
When 1, X input is added to Y input, so changing fundamental frequency also changes formant frequency.

pos min max default
4 0 99 0
Masking.
When 0, Z controls tuning.
When 1-99, some pulsarets are omitted. Output B is the inverse of A - when A emits a pulsaret it is skipped on B and vice versa.
When 1, pulsarets are masked randomly.
When 2-99, pulsarets are masked in a burst with length set to the parameter, and Z controls how many of the burst are masked.

pos min max default
5 -16 8 0
Octave. Offsets X input.
