5.4.1 The sequencer
This module conforms to the original Moog while simplifying the programming with internal
connections.
It is with this module that you can create melodic sequences or sequences applied to a
parameter (a sequence line applied to the opening of the frequency can, for example, be very
efficient).
The sequencer has 3 sections:
Low frequency oscillator controls the timing of passage from one sequence to another. Its speed can be set
statically with the “frequency” button and dynamically with the modulation input on the first page. Two buttons, “on”
and “off” respectively start and stop this generator.
Eight-step sequence manager. Each step defines 3 levels of output modulations, using 3 knobs. The manager
moves from one step to another on each pulse from the low frequency generator. The 3 rows of sequence can also be
chained to create a longer sequence (up to 24 steps)
The output controller allows the management of the 4 modulation outputs for the current step. The first 3 outputs
take their values from the rotating buttons of the current step (on the corresponding line), eventually with a
configurable smoothing through the “smooth” buttons. The fourth output, for which the smoothing can also be set
through the “smooth” button, is managed in the following manner. It takes the value from one of the 3 outputs in
function with the current step and the type of progression specified with the “Chain” selector: This allows the linking
sequences to create variations. For example to link lines 1, 2 and 3 to obtain a 24 step on the same controller.
