Oneiroi is a multi-functional, self-contained experimental digital synth focused on ambient pads and drone-like landscapes. It features a full stereo signal path, 3 oscillators (2 of them are mutually exclusive), 4 effects and a looper. It also includes self-modulation and a randomizer.
Oneiroi has been developed by Roberto Noris (https://github.com/hirnlego) and is based on Rebel Technology’s OWL platform.

It calibrates V/OCT IN, and manual Controls range.
Updating the patch do not erase the calibration data, so no need to perform calibration after patch update.
Only needed after module's assembly (usually preformed only at factory or by DIYers).
1- Power the module while holding [MOD AMT + SHIFT] buttons at the same time. The [RECORD] button should light up red indicating you are in Calibration Mode.
2- Place both the PITCH knob and the VARISPEED knob in the middle, this allows for calibrating the center point
3- Plug 2 Volts into V/OCT IN and push [RECORD] button. Now [SHIFT] button will light up red.
4- Plug 5 Volts into V/OCT IN and push [SHIFT] button. Now [RANDOM] button will light up red.
5- Plug 8 Volts into V/OCT IN and push [RANDOM] button. Now [MOD AMT] button will light up green.
6- Move all manual controls to the minimum position, this is all pots counter-clockwise and all faders down.
7- Move all manual controls to the maximun position, this is all pots clockwise and all faders up.
