9. Note Sequencer
9.1 Controls
The note sequencer is a module that tells the Typhon what notes to play, when to play them, and how to play
them. You can have from 1 to 32 steps in a sequence, covering a 6-octave range of notes.
To access the sequencer, press the SQNCR button. When in sequencer edit mode, the button will be lit. To exit
the sequencer edit mode, just hit the SQNCR button again.
When in sequencer edit mode, the ENCODER now changes functions:
Rotate the encoder to change the BPM rate, or Press it Down to copy/paste a step’s settings to another step.
Your sequencer controls are:
STEP:
Choose the step you want to edit
OCV:
Set the step’s octave
NOTE:
Set the step’s note
GATE:
Gate length. Use a value of 0 to get a note REST (no trigger) and a value of 100 to get a note TIE
(which ties the current step to the next step in the sequence)
VEL:
Step’s velocity value. You must setup a Velocity target from the menu in order for this to work.
For more info check 10.4 “Velocity”
And with shift ON (the button to the right of the sliders), you get access to these controls:
LENG:
Sequence length. This also defines the max STEP value you can edit
DVS:
BPM divisions
PROB:
Chances that a step will be played. If a step isn’t played, a rest will be produced instead.
SWI:
Swing amount. For more info about swing, check this awesome article

9.2 Edit a sequence
Let’s try to create a simple sequence of 4 steps playing C, E, G, B.
1. Push down the encoder and from the menu, choose option 1. INITIAL PRESET
2. Hit SQNCR, then press SHIFT (button 1) and set:
LENG = 4 ( this will have 4 active steps)
DVS = 8 ( produces 8 triggers/ BPM)
PROB = 75 (this allows a 75% chances that a note will be played)
SWI = 50 (this is no swing)
3. Exit SHIFT mode and select the first step to edit: With slider 1 (STEP) choose 1.
4. Set :
OCV = +2
NOTE = C
GATE = 50
VEL = 0
5. Then push down the encoder. A message “COPIED” will appear at the bottom right of the screen. Select
STEP = 2. Then push the encoder down again. This process should paste the STEP 1 settings into STEP 2.
6. At this step (2) change NOTE to E and VEL to 25
7. Push the encoder again and select STEP 3. Push again to paste step’s 2 settings.
8. At this step (3) change the NOTE to G and VEL to 60
9. Push the encoder one more time and select STEP 4. Push again to paste step’s 3 settings
10. Now on this step (4) change the NOTE to B and VEL to 100
Press Play. A very simple sequence will be played.
