Hey,
Random select selects a random sequencer stage. BUT in order for it to work,
not only do you have to patch a clock pulse into it (from DSG or DTG or
whatever source) but you have to patch it to RESET at the same time. So run
a short patch cord between RESET and RANDOM SELECT, and plug in your clock
signal into the back-end of the banana (effectively multing everything
together) connecting RESET and RANDOM. Yes it's a little strange.
On your DTG questions, the blue output jack delivers the DC signal that
rises and falls with the rise/fall knob settings when you trigger the DTG.
So it's like the output of an AR type envelope generator. Yes, the GATE jack
is an output that delivers a rectangular trigger pulse. The nifty thing here
is, if you patch GATE into TRIG, the module retriggers itself. So depending
on your rise/fall time settings you've got an LFO or audio oscillator. The
DTG's are very stable frequency wise. And of course voltage controllable.
Since this is something people do a lot with their DTG's (the oscillator/LFO
thing) some customers request a switch put in... flip the switch, it connects
GATE and TRIG, and off you go. Saves a patch cord.
Since the DTG is a Dual Transient Generator, yes, the only difference between
the left & righnt sections is the LED color... two Transient Generators in
one module.
Some of these basics are covered in the "Gold Book", a Serge primer written
by Rich Gold way back when. Was there an online version of this anywhere?
Have fun.
