User's Manual

To play the sequencer simply turn the master Sequencer and Notes Sequencer's power
switches on (red) and hold any key(s) on the keyboard. The Notes Sequencer is an offset
generator that will play its melody according to the keys you press: each step of the
sequence is defined not as a particular note (like "A♭") but as an interval: "7 semitones above
whatever key(s) are being played".
8.2.1. Notes and Mod Sequencer shared parameters
The following controls affect both sequencers simultaneously:
8.2.1.1. Sequencer Speed controls
• Rate: The speed of the sequencer may be set independently as BPM (Beats Per
Minute) in a range of 6 to 600 BPM, or set as a multiple of the master clock
tempo from 8 (slow, 1 step per 8 measures) through 1/4 (1 step per beat) to a
maximum of 1/32 (8 steps per beat).
Click on the name field to set the Sequencer Sync Mode to BPM, Sync Binary, Sync Triplet, or
Sync Dotted modes. As explained in the LFO section [p.47], Sync Binary plays the sequencer
in standard quarter time, (1 step per quarter), Sync Triplet plays the steps in fast triplets,
and Sync Dotted plays each step at time value plus a half (e.g., dotted quarter at 1/4, dotted
eighth at 1/8) synchronized to the external tempo clock.
• Swing: At the default setting (full counter-clockwise, 50%), no swing is applied
to timing of the steps. As you increase this control, the timing between the steps
is "swung" from a strict timing towards a triplet timing for a less-robotic, more
human feel.
• Mod Multiplier: This determines the speed of the Mod Sequencer relative to the
speed of the Notes Sequencer. At a setting of 1 (knob position about "1:30") both
sequencers go at the same rate. Turning counter-clockwise reduces the speed
of the Mod Sequencer to a minimum of 1/32 the speed, (i.e., one step of Mod
for every 32 steps of Notes). Turning clockwise increases the speed of Mod to a
maximum of 6 steps per step of Notes. Double-click the knob to return the Mod
Multiplier to its default of 1.
