sequence (up to a maximum of 64 pulses). Negative voltages decrease
the number of pulses in the sequence (down to either 1 pulse (or ‘Auto’
if
PULSES = ’
Auto’
on the
LEN
screen).
Ratchet
±5V
Changes the number of ratchets for all stages of the destination
track(s). Specifically, at 0V, each stage uses its corresponding ratchet
count (as set by the
RATCH
button). Positive voltages uniformly
increase the number of ratchets played by each stage (up to a
maximum total of 8 ratchets). Negative voltages uniformly decrease the
number of ratchets played by each stage, down to minimum of 1 (no)
ratchets.
Reset
Trig
The sequencer playing on the track to which the AUX In or MOD Lane
is assigned will reset when a trigger voltage is received.
Root
±5V
Positive voltages increase the root note of the current scale on the
destination track(s), while negative voltages decrease the root note.
Root
tracks 1V/octave, but only the pitch name (not its octave) is
considered. So, for example, both 0V and 1V will result in no shifting of
the root note, while 0.083V and 1.083V will both create a root note shift
of one semitone.
Skip Invert
Gate When the gate is high, the SKIP state of each stage inverts, such that
any previously skipped stages are played, and any previously played
stages are skipped. When the gate is low, normal (uninverted) SKIP
playback occurs. Inverting Skip is a convenient way to set up and
trigger split sequences. Note that any time the Skip inverts, the
sequence resets — meaning the first stage remains predictable.
Slide
Gate When the gate is high, the Slide function is enabled for all Stages on the
destination track(s), regardless of whether the individual
SLIDE
stage
buttons are turned on. When the gate is low, only those Stages that
have their
SLIDE
buttons turned on will slide.
Slide Amount
±5V
Changes the Slide time applied to the destination track(s). Specifically,
at 0V, slid Stages use the value set with the
SLIDE TIME
button.
Positive voltages increase the Slide Time, up to the 100 maximum.
Negative voltages decrease the Slide Time, down to 0.
Slider Invert
Gate The programmed PITCH SLIDER orientation direction is inverted when
the gate is high; and restored when the gate is low.
Slider Range
±5V
Changes the octave range of the PITCH SLIDERS. Specifically, at 0V,
the PITCH SLIDERS cover the octave range set by the
Slider Octaves
setting in the TRACK MENU. Positive voltages increase the octave
