ARTURIA – MOOG MODULAR V – USER’S MANUAL 39
3.4 THE OTHER SECTIONS
The second screen of the Moog Modular V contains all of the modules for sequences, effects and
control.
3.4.1 The sequencer
This module conforms to the original Moog while simplifying the programming with internal connec-
tions.
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 allows the cadence of the 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, with 3 rotating buttons. The manager
moves from one step to another on every impulse from the low frequency generator. The 3 lines of sequence can also be
chained to create a longer sequence (up to 24 steps)
The output controller. It allows the management of the 4 modulation outputs in function with 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 con-
figurable soothing 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.
The sequencer sections
To create an 8-step note sequence from the sound you have previously edited (“bass1”):
►
Assign “Driver” oscillators to one of the 4 sequence lines. For this, on the sequencer screen click a
few times on the corresponding LCD display on the bottom of the “Driver”, (on the right) to select
the sequence line. “L1, 2, 3 or 4”
