later, which does not change the sample rate! Always look at the color of the output connector, as that
color will not change when changing the color of a cable and give the correct indication.
The sample rate of 24kHz is used for slowly changing modulation signals, like the signals from LFO
modules. A module that produces signals at the 24kHz sample rate will have a blue or a yellow output.
The 24kHz sample rate is also used for Event signals (logic signals, see “Yellow and orange outputs, logic
states” on page 72) like the Gate signal of the keyboard.
It is very well possible to use signals at the 24kHz sample rate as audio signals, but they will have a slightly
’LoFi’ character, especially at higher audio frequencies.

RATE
The inputs of modules can also work at either the 24khz or 96kHz sample rate. Most inputs work by
default at 24kHz, but when a red or orange signal is connected they will automatically change to a red or
orange input and start to work at the ‘high quality’ 96kHz sample rate. This will guarantee maximum
quality audio when a module is modulated by an audio signal. Red and orange inputs will use more
computational resources in the G2, so you will see the Patch Load go up when an input changes color
from blue or yellow to red or orange.

BIPOLAR
AND
UNIPOLAR
These outputs produce smooth ‘analog’ signals with a very fine resolution. They are used for audio
purposes (red) or smoothly gliding modulation purposes (blue). The signals can be bipolar, which means
that they can take on positive and negative values, or unipolar which means that the signal has only positive
or only negative values. On many modules a scroll button will allow you to select if the output is bipolar,
unipolar, inverted and some more settings. E.g. the bipolar signal on the output of an LFO module will
swing smoothly between values of -64 units and +64 units. A positive unipolar signal will swing smoothly
between 0 units and +64 units. As +1 unit on the Pitch input of an Oscillator will transpose the Oscillator
by one semitone, this means that a bipolar LFO signal can sweep the oscillator over five octaves up and
five octaves down.
Audio signals are in general bipolar, just imagine that the cone of your loudspeaker swings backwards and
forwards from its neutral position.
Modulation signals are often unipolar, to make a modulation go into one direction only. Imagine a tone
that only sweeps up in respect to its basic pitch played from the keyboard.

LOGIC
STATES
These outputs produce a signal that can only be
HIGH
or
LOW
. They are used to flag musical Events, like
the pressing of a key on the keyboard or when the Masterclock advances a tick and are named logic signals.
The output value is interpreted as a
HIGH
or a
LOW
state, but it has an actual value of either 0 units or +64
units. Logic signals can be safely scaled down in a mixer, which will change the yellow or orange signals
into blue or red signals.

ELLOW
AND
ORANGE
INPUTS
Yellow and orange inputs will not only accept yellow and orange signals, but also red and blue signals. In
this last case the input will interprete a positive signal level as a
HIGH
state and a negative or zero signal
level as a
LOW
state.
