Introduction
Dear valued GotharMusic customer,
Thank you very much for purchasing an Anamono.
Anamono is the newest model in my compact syntesizer series, that packs a lot of power
in a small, affordable and very easy portable package.
Anamono packs a lot of analogue power. 2 analogue filters, 1 multimode and 1 bandpass,
an analogue CA and overdrive output stage, and a newly engineered g-RAY feedback
synthesis circuit, that brings some totally new sound possibilities.
Together with the analogue section, Anamono’s digital section also packs a lot of power,
and inspiration to new sound ideas: 2 digital oscillators with continiously variable
waveforms and oscillator sync, a routable ringmodulator, a routable digital multimode filter,
a fully programable and controlable granulator/delay effects section, and many modulation
sources.
It has 2 newly engineered modulation sources: An 8-step very flexible step modulator, and
a 5-step. The 8-step variant has a selection of different trigger sources, and is able to put
out notes and gates. The 2 modulators has, like the 2 envelopes, 2 sets of settings, that
can be morped between, using any modulation source.
Anamono also has an external audio input, which makes it possible to process any audio
signal with Anamono’s ringmodulator, g-RAY feedback, filters, granulator/delay and analog
overdrive. An envelope follower makes it possible for the external audio signal to keep
control of Anamono’s output level (and any other controlable parameter), to prevent
unwanted noises. A drone parameter is also available, if you want to keep Anamono’s
output constantly open.
All Anamono parameters can be controlled using MIDI NRPN controller numbers, and
many parameters can be controlled direct with MIDI controllers.
256 preset sound can be stored in eeprom’s – no back-up battery required. All presets are
user-writable.
I sincerely hope, that you will enjoy playing your Anamono, as much as I have enjoyed
designing it.

Edit1 / Ctrl 2: When on the preset select screen the screen showing on the picture) and on the edit
page select screen, this knob transmits midi-controller 2 internally, and tweaks all
parameters, which has midi-controller 2 selected as modulation source, except if a
parameter are assigned to it on the ”ASSIGN EDIT 1” edit page.
When on a parameter edit screen, this knob adjusts the parameter showing at the left
of the screen.
Edit2 / Ctrl 3: When on the preset select screen the screen showing on the picture) and on the edit
page select screen, this knob transmits midi-controller 3 internally, and tweaks all
parameters, which has midi-controller 3 selected as modulation source, except if a
parameter are assigned to it on the ”ASSIGN EDIT 2” edit page.
When on a parameter edit screen, this knob adjusts the parameter showing at the
middle of the screen.
Play / Enter / Freeze: This knob starts and stops Modulator 1, if Modulator 1 trigger source = Play
or MIDI. It also works as a midi note on indicator – every time a midi note on, on the
selected midi-channel, are received it will light up.
When you select a new preset, it will start blinking, and you will have to push it to
confirm.
When on a granulator/delay edit page, this acts as a freeze knob, and freezes/un-
freezes the granulator/delay every time it is pushed. It lights up, when freeze is active.
Cursor (click) value: This knob navigates around, changes preset, and changes various switch
functions on the parameter edit screens.
If the cursor is blinking, turning this knob will move the cursor. Pushing it will stop
the cursor from blinking, to change a value, or entering another screen.
If the cursor is not blinking, turning this knob, will change the value of the parameter,
where the cusor are located. Pushing it will get the cursor blinking to move it, or it
will enter another screen.
Volume: Changes the output volume on the audio and phones outputs.
Phones: Below the ”Phones” text on the front-side of Anamono, a phones output are located. It
is possible to connect a pair of stereo headphones to this.

9VDC: Connect the supplied 9-12 DC power adaptor to the socket. The switch near it are
the power on/off switch. If your Anamono wasn’t delivered with a power adaptor, or you
need to replace it, it has to be:
-A 9-12 DC, min. 500 mA unregulated power adaptor with a 2.1 mm DC connector, with
the positive voltage in the middle.
MIDI in: Connect this to the MIDI out of a MIDI transmitting device (MIDI keyboard,
sequencer, computer or whatever).
Audio In jack: This is the external audio input of Anamono. Connect any line-level audio
source to this, to process it with Anamono’s powerful audio system.
Audio Out jack: This is a line output, and needs to be amplified. Connect it to an amplifier
or a mixer.

Some main rules: If the cursor is blinking, you can move it by turning the
cursor(click)value encoder.
If the cursor is not blinking, you can change the value of the parameter the cursor are
located below, by turning the cursor(click)value encoder.
By pushing the cursor(click)value encoder, you change the cursor from blinking to not-
blinking and vice versa.
When the cursor is located under ”Edit”, on the preset select page, pushing the
cursor(click)value encoder, will enter the edit group select pages.
On the edit group select pages, pushing the cursor(click)value encoder, will enter the edit
parameters pages, except if the edit group page is ”EXIT”, then it will exit to the preset
select page.
If the cursor is located under an ”X”, pushing the cursor(click)value encoder, will exit to the
previous level.

Every time you turn on your Anamono, it will for a short while write:
In it’s display.
Right after that, it will go to this screen:
This is the Anamono main page.
On the top of the display it writes the name of the selected preset. It remembers what preset was
selected, when it was turned off, and goes to that preset when it is turned on again.
On the bottom of the display it writes the selected preset bank and number. Anamono has sixteen
banks A-P) with each 16 sounds 256 in all). The number shown in paranthes, are the MIDI bank
select number MIDI ctrl 32) followed by a slash and the MIDI program change number you will
have to transmit to Anamono, for selecting this preset, from an external MIDI-device.
As default, when entering the preset select page, the cursor is located under the preset number
select, so you immediately can select a preset. It is also possible to locate the cursor under the bank
select letter, or ”Edit”, if you wish to enter the edit pages.
To change preset: If the cursor is not blinking, push the cursor click)value encoder, to make the
cursor blink. Rotate the cursor click)value encoder in either direction to place the cursor under the
letter, if you want to change the bank number, or the number if you want to change the preset
number. Push the cursor click)value encoder, so the cursor is not blinking. Rotate the
cursor click)value encoder to select the preset you want. It will write the preset name in the top of
the display. The play/enter/freeze knob will now start to blink. Push the play/enter/freeze knob to
confirm change to the selected preset.
