SHARED SEQUENCER PARAMETERS
The setting of the SEQ OCT function is shared by both Sequencers; it cannot be set individually.
SEQ OCT
This function specifies the octave range available for each of the STEP knobs in
the sequencers. There are three values for this parameter. Repeatedly pressing
the SEQ OCT button will cycle through the available options, with an LED
indicating the current selection.
± 5: This option provides five octaves above and five octaves below the current
VCO FREQ knob value for each individual step.
± 2: This option provides two octaves above and two octaves below the current
VCO FREQ knob value for each individual step.
± 1: This option provides one octave above and one octave below the current
VCO FREQ knob value for each individual step.
NOTE: The sequencers cannot internally modulate the frequency of the VCOs any higher than 10k Hz (approximately).
For full use of the ± 5 Sequencer Octave range, set the VCO 1 FREQ and VCO 2 FREQ knobs fully counter-clockwise
at the Middle C position. In addition, subharmonic content cannot be accurately generated above 10k Hz. It is
important to be aware of these details because the VCO frequency setting and individual Sequencer Step values
are summed with the VCO CV inputs, which can drive the VCOs far above 10k Hz.
NOTE: By default, the SEQ 1 and SEQ 2 output jacks will output a control voltage that reflects the current Seq Oct
settings. This behavior can be disengaged by pressing and holding the SEQ OCT button until the LED flashes, at
which point the SEQ 1 and SEQ 2 output jacks will output at ± 5, regardless of the Seq Oct setting. In this mode,
the oscillators will continue to respect the Seq Oct settings. Press and hold the SEQ OCT button until the LED
stops flashing to return to the default.
TRANSPORT CONTROLS
This set of controls aect the sequencers, the rhythm generators,
envelope behavior, as well as handling of internal and external
clock signals.
PLAY
The PLAY button starts and stops the playback of the sequencers. When the
PL AY button is lit, the sequencers are playing. When the PLAY button is unlit,
playback has stopped.
NOTE: This button will also start and stop the rhythm generators, and will stop (when
unlit) the clock signal sent from the CLOCK output jack.
TRIGGER
The function of the TRIGGER button is determined by the EG button (page 29).
If the EG button is On (lit), pressing the TRIGGER button will instantly restart
the envelope generators (VCF EG and VCA EG) without waiting for the next
step of the sequencer(s). Note that the EGs will NOT restart if they are currently
in the Attack stage.
