The polarity switch switches the INPUTS only. Use in the down position for 0 - 10 volt 
joysticks and envelope generators.

Use in the up position for dual LFOs that produce +/- 5 volt waveforms.

The outputs are always 0 - 10 volts (approx.)

I just received a JAG and a Joystick and I've been having a blast with them in my system.

I had a quick question about what seems like bizarre behavior with the led's.  In the 0 to 10 position all seems to work intuitively. When the joystick is centered, all the lights are on, and when you go to one of the corners (i.e. 2,4,6,8 positions), that diode only lights up.  However, when I change to the +/-5 position, only the diode for position 6 lights and other non-intuitive combinations of lights come on in other positions. Is this how it's supposed to work?  If so, why?

As far as I can tell, it seems to send the correct voltages in the +/- 5 position, but I haven't really systematically tested this.

Thanks for any help,

Bryan
