Pam's specs (from: busycircuits.com/alm017/):
• BPM based clock with tempo rates 10-300BPM.
• 8 Clocked voltage outputs each with independent adjustable;
• Clock divisors and multipliers from /512 to x48 including various non integer factors.
• Gated, Triangle, Sine, Envelope & random base waveforms.
• Waveform level and pulse width / skewing.
• Phase, Delay and delay division (for complex swing)
• Euclidean and random step skipping with beat based looping for rhythm creation
• Basic quantisation of output levels to various musical scales (firmware 204+)
• Logic operation selection at each output to combine channels. Choose between AND, OR, and XOR. (firmware 205+)
• All output parameters assignable to x2 CV inputs with individual software offset, attenuation and monitoring.
• Per output and group saving and loading to 200 banks.
• Voltage and direct control of clock stop/start, reset and rate.
• Sync to an external clock input at 48 to 1 PPQN.
• Realtime intuitive user interface with high resolution LED display.
• Provides dedicated DIN Sync and MIDI clock output via optional expander(s).
• Easy firmware upgrades via USB port.
• Unlikely to actually improve aerobic fitness.
Technical Specifications
• Supply: +12V 50mA / -12V 0.5mA
• Size: 8HP
• Depth: 32mm (including power header)

Good video but consider remaking, this time using your right hand, carefully using the tips of your fingers to turn the knob from underneath. Bit of hand gymnastics but Pam's relies on a menu system so it's vital we see what changes - it's no good revealing the screen whenever you move your hand away from blocking the shot.

Thanks for the feedback Nick!
Well done!! Thank you for making this and sharing. I like how you took using Pam's from ground zero....here's a system clock to working through all the options in a deep dive. I've barely scratched the surface of my PNW and now I'm ready to go play with some confidence in what I'm doing! Keep up the great work! CHeers!!

Thank you so much for this video. My favorite pams video from all that I have seen so far. So clear, without going ham before explaining what each feature does.

Hey! Im just gonna tell you guys about something I recently found out about, the real color of the OLED display. My only thing about the module I dont like, is the RED oled display. Red makes it hard to see due to red light being a long wavelength in our visual spectre of light. I looked for the "special" versions of PAMs Workout that showcased a different oled color.. but sold out everywhere.. until I stumbled onto seeing the oled without frontplate and its plexiglass piece covering it by chance due to me forgetting unplug power connector. The oled is WHITE! *doeh* Now the module is awesome looking for me, matching the green status leds over the outputs. And me having the black front panel, it just looks more awesome. Just a nice little hax :) Cheers

That's awesome! I never knew
Now started getting into modular as a DIY project. I have built my case, built my own oscillator and now have just purchased Pam second hand at a good price. Looking forward to getting to grips with its full potential. Amazing and helpful video, very informative. Would like to know how to check and update its firmware if that’s possible. Now trying to work out and make my own patch leads.

Splendid! Thanks a million for the feedback :) You can check the current version of the firmware by powering on with the program knob held down. It'll then show the version. Hope this helps :)
Great video.! would love to see more deep dive videos using the output rotation feature and cv inputs. Can you start/stop the individual channels in sync with the clock via external switches/gates or midi?

Sorry but the hand blocking the view of the screen made it too frustrating to watch. These panels are so small it’s awkward.

I don't know I ended Up with Euclidean circles, seemed like more control, I got several options for clocking, been using Mordax data mostly for it. I got a RCD from 4ms also with the switches. I don't dislike Pamala's, it's just the circles spoke to me.

i mean all those fuctions you showed were in firmeare 204 already. whats the new feat. in 207.... thats my quetion. hermod and pams they might be similar here and there and they work very well together, but at the end of the day pams and hermod are completely different. in my personal opinion, every solid rack should have a pams inside. this module is just indispensable!
