ENTERING NOTES
Simply play a string of 16 MIDI notes to set up your sequencer.
PLAYBACK AND SYNC / NOTE0 OUT / CLOCK IN
To play back the sequencer you simply apply a clock or gate signal to the Note Seq Clock input.
This can be from an LFO, MIDI Gate, or from some external source.
It is a simple matter to sync to your external MIDI sequencer or DAW. Patch NOTE0 to NOTE SEQ
CLOCK. Each time MIDI Note 0 is played, a clock/gate signal is sent out of the jack. You need to
program a string of short notes a 16th apart into your sequencer.
The note length needs to be shorter than the step, so use 32nd notes. You are e
ff
ectively
programming your own clock signal using DAW.
Of course it doesn’t have to be a rigid string of 16ths. You can create a rhythm, mute, solo, apply
swing and other timing e
ff
ects from within your DAW.
Note0 can of course also be used to sync the CV sequencer too, or simply use as a gate signal to
trigger one of the envelopes.
Note0 can also be programmed into hardware sequencers and most MIDI drum machines.
TRANSPOSE
It is possible to transpose the Note sequencer using MIDI Notes. Simply press Note Seq
Transpose - now any key your press will transpose the sequence up or down. Press middle C to
cancel the transposition. Press Transpose button to exit transpose mode.
Whilst in Transpose mode you cannot enter new notes into the sequencer. This makes it a handy
‘note lock’ workaround - to stop accidentally entering new notes.
