Terminology
Sequences and Patterns
The terms sequence and pattern are used very specifically in this manual, so it is important to
understand the distinction.
A sequence is a set of up to 8 steps. Each output jack has its own sequence of up to 8 steps.
A pattern is a set of 8 sequences. Think of it as an 8 by 8 grid, with steps in the X axis and the outputs in
the Y axis – just like the Step and Output LEDs on the panel. The step LEDs show the sequence for one
output at a time, and one of the output LEDs is illuminated to show the output being edited. There are 8
separate pattern memories.
