1. About Analog Sequencers Most people think of an analog sequencer as basically a device which can "play" a series of pre-determined notes on a synthesizer automatically. This is the most common usage to which a sequencer is put to. But in fact, the SQ-10 Analog Sequencer is capable of much more than simply establishing sequences of pitch levels.
3. Features and Functions [ BOLD Italic underlined numbers refer to the front panel illustration. See 7 FoldOut ] 3.1. Voltage Controlled Clock Generator (Clock) Use this clock when you want to run through the steps automatically. Clockspeed is controlled by voltage, so you can use Channel-C to vary the step spacing or any other source to control the overall speed. 1 Clock speed: Use this knob to adjust the basic speed of the sequence when you advance the steps automatically.
3.5. 9 Sequence Mode Mode Selector: This 6 position control selects the type of sequence...stepped, continuous or one-time...for 12 or 24 step sequences. sequence modes 3.6. Portamento 10 Portamento A, B: Ordinarily the voltage changes in a sequence form a sharply stepped progression, but with this knob you can make these changes smoother and get a portamento effect. 3.7. Duty 11 This adjusts the multiple trigger width as the steps advance.
3.9. Reset 15 Reset In: Use this INPUT jack when you want less than the maximum number of steps in a sequence. Just patch the Trig Out jack of the last step in the sequence to the RESET IN jack. When the sequence reaches that step, it will be reset and begin again at step 1. 3.10. Output Voltage Control 16 Range Switch ( +/-1V < > +/-5V ): When you want to control synthesizer functions with a smaller voltage range, use the +/-1V position.
