Page 7: General
Prior to switching the device on, its AUDIO OUT jack should be connected to a mixing console, an audio-interface or an amplifier. Pressing the switch will turn DOMINION CLUB on and off. DOMINION CLUB can be played using via a keyboard or sequencer using MIDI. -
Page 8: Oscillators
OSCILLATORS DOMINION CLUB offers five simultaneously usable sound sources: two analog VCOs, one digital oscillator and two sub-oscillators. One of the sub-oscillators may alternatively be used as a noise generator. VCOs 1 and 2 are equal in function and offer identical controls. - Page 9 The setting for all three oscillators can be individually shifted by +/- one octave. • Press OCT button of oscillator VCO1, VCO2 or DIGITAL • The display shows the current value, e.g. 00 • Use VALUE control to set a value between - - - - 01 01 and 01 •...

Page 10: Waveforms
Waveforms The graphically designed wave-control of the analog oscillators VCO1 and VCO2 is used to blend between the waveforms triangle, sawtooth and square. Starting from the square position, the symmetry of the waveform (pulse width) is continuously being changed to its narrowest setting when turned fully clockwise. In version 1.0, the digital oscillator is a FM-unit with two operators. -
Page 11: Modulation
Sub-oscillator 1 can be switched to generate noise. The noise generator's level is an adjusted identical to the sub-oscillator (see page 10). • Press and hold SHIFT button • Press NOISE button additionally • The display shows the current state •... -
Page 12: Synchronization
Synchronization Oscillators VCO1 and VCO2 can be synchronized using a so-called hard sync. Here, the oscillator being synchronized, VCO2, is being forced to the main oscillator's (VCO1) pitch. By manually changing the pitch of VCO2 using the TUNE control or by modulation via MOD AMT, the sound will increasingly change to more drastic results. -
Page 13: Mixer
MIXER The VCO1, VCO2 and DIGITAL controls adjust the oscillators’ levels before these are fed into the filter. With all controls fully turned up, the filter input is slightly overdriven. The level controls for the sub-oscillators resp. the noise generator are being set in the oscillator-menu as described on page 10. -
Page 14: Envelopes
ENVELOPES DOMINION CLUB offers two ADSR-envelopes. Envelope ENV1 is permanently assigned to the filter by the CONTOUR control. However, it may additionally be used to control the oscillators in parallel using MOD SEL / MOD AMT (see page 11). Envelope ENV2 controls the VCA and therefore the sound's level contour. -
Page 15: Lfos
LFOs LFO1 and LFO2 offer identical functions. A third LFO works in dependence of the modulation-wheel of an attached keyboard resp. to MIDI-CC #01. It is reached through SEL-menu 4 (see page 18). The RATE control adjusts the speed within a range of approx. 4 seconds to approx. -
Page 16: Synchronization
Hint: In one-shot-mode, the selected waveform will only be played once for a played note. This allows using a LFO as a simple envelope. For example, selecting a descending sawtooth will imitate a decay envelope. Synchronization With SYC SYC being selected as LFO-mode (see page 15), the RATE control adjusts the resolution of the internal resp. -
Page 17: Select Menus
SELECT MENUS Nine menus can be called up using the SEL control. These serve to adjust additional functions and system settings. For a better overview, the menus are printed to the lower part of the device's housing. If selecting a menu using the SEL control, the display will shortly indicate the menu before switching to the value currently set which can be edited using the VALUE control. -

Page 19: Wheels
5 WHEELS This menu allows adjustment of two parameters: the effect of the pitch-wheel and the destination of the modulation-wheel of an attached keyboard. Use the SHIFT button to toggle back and forth between both sub menus. Pitch-wheel: • Use SEL control to open menu 5. Pbd Pbd will be temp. -
Page 20: Trigger

Sequencer). Unused preset memories will not be transferred with a dump. When sending a data-dump to DOMINION CLUB, it will automatically be received – no menu has to be called up. The only requirement is that neither the arpeggiator nor the sequencer can be active (see page 22). -
Page 22: Arpeggiator / Sequencer
ARPEGGIATOR / SEQUENCER For each preset, an arpeggiator or sequencer as well as an additional motion-sequencer can be activated. All of these settings will be saved along with the preset. Mode Select between three options first: • Press ARP STEP REAL button in the lower row repeatedly: LED off >... -

Octaving An extension of the arpeggiator pattern of one or two octaves may be enabled. In doing so, the arpeggio is expanded by the additional notes. This setting can be adjusted while the arpeggiator is running. • Press OCT/REST button in the lower row •... -
Page 27: Realtime-Sequencer
In alternative to enter a sequence step by step, it may as well be entered in realtime. This works with empty sequences. However, DOMINION CLUB does not offer an acoustic metronome and one has to rely on the visual display or a drum computer running in parallel. -
