OPERATING MODES

1.1 Recording the trigger sequence in step mode:

in standard step recording mode

if track selector is switched to the right or to the left

1.0 Step a.k.a. 'standard' mode

2.0 Euclidean mode

Record a trigger sequence to track I or II 
using STEP and REST buttons

Switching the

with REPEATS I knob set to 0:

Adjusting REPEATS amount will add 0-7 trigger repeats after an active step in the sequence, thus increasing the total sequence length:

Holding STEP (for track 1) or REST (for track 2) button for 2 seconds will enable (or disable) Euclidean mode:

2.1. Recording the sequence length in Euclidean mode:

Switch to the left to check if track I is in Euclidean mode or switch to the right to check if track II is in Euclidean mode.

3. Live mode

Short press on STEP or REST

buttons will mute/unmute trigger 

outputs on either Track I or II

In live mode both tracks
infinitely repeat their
trigger sequences.

4. Clock divider

With external clock applied, the 
divider is set with rate/div knob
to be applied to trigger repeats
or Euclidean circle speed;
middle knob position (x1) 
doesn't affect the clock divider.

6. Syncronization

In TUPLET mode (div knob fully CCW)
the number of trigger
repeats is streched into one bar.
Some particular cases of using tuplets
are triplets and – if used creatively –
becomes ratcheting.

5.Tuplets

clock output in 16th notes after divider

(PPQN24÷6)

Triggers applied to reset I or II 
reset the according trigger sequence to the first step.
Reset in I is normalled to reset in II.
I.e. a reset is applied to both tracks, if a signal 
is sent to reset in I only and no cable is plugged 
into reset in II.

7. Patterns

Each track has 8 patterns selected by pressing both the STEP and the REST button and rotating the REPEATS (I or II) knob 
at the same time. Patterns can be combined and are selected separately for track I and II. Pattern sequences and
last patterns selected are recalled on next power cycle.

In this mode we set the length of the Euclidean
circle (by default 16 steps) and set the amount
of trigger FILLS with REPEATS knob or its CV.
