4.  In / Outputs

Trigger Outputs

Sockets 

!

 are the outputs from the

 three trigger rows

and the 

gate row

.

Control

Alongside the four buttons for sequencer control, there
are four corresponding digital control input sockets 

"

.

•  Start

 

:

A signal here starts the sequence.

•  Stop

 

:

A signal here stops the sequence.

•  Clock

 

: A 

clock signal

 here steps through the

sequence. Also called ‘step’ input.

•  Reset

 

: A signal here sends the sequence back to

step one.

Start 

and 

Stop inputs 

work in 

trigger

 mode.

As soon as they sense the rising edge of a
pulse, they produce a momentary signal.
The length of the pulse makes no difference
- a pulse of long duration still just produces a
momentary trigger.

Clock (step) 

and 

Reset inputs

, on the other

hand, work by sensing level: so, for instance,
Reset will always be active (keeping the
sequence at step one) as long as the reset
signal is "high".

§ 

CV outputs, control inputs

The two groups of sockets 

§

 contain the 

analog CV

outputs

 for each row, and the 

digital control inputs

for the sample-and-hold and slew limiter sections

.

The upper group of sockets relates to 

analog CV row

1

, and the lower to 

analog CV row 2

.

•  Pre Out

 

:

The 

control voltages

 set on the

respective analog CV row are output
here, 

before

 (

pre

) passing through the

slew limiter and sample-and-hold sec-
tions.

•  Post Out

 

: The 

control voltages

 set on the

respective analog CV row are output
here, 

after

 (

post

) passing through the

slew limiter and sample-and-hold sec-
tions.
