Steppy 3U Manual
To Create and Edit Ratchets:
1. From the default
PLAY
mode, select the Track and Page you wish to edit (using
techniques previously discussed), then long-press ( > 1 sec) the EDIT button to
enter Step Edit mode.
The EDIT LED will light, and four of the Edit
Mode buttons will flash
red
.
2. Press the flashing
CLK ÷
button.
It will flash
yellow
and any steps already
containing ratchets will light up
red
. The current
position is displayed by a
green
LED (which
advances through the pattern if Steppy is
running).
3. Press whichever of the 16 multifunction buttons
corresponds to the step you wish to ratchet. This
puts you into the step’s Ratchet Assignment
mode.
If you pressed buttons 1-8, you will then use the
right column of buttons to set the number of
ratchets. If you pressed buttons 9-16, you’ll use
the left column of buttons to set the number of
ratchets.
In this example, we pressed the bottom-right
button, which corresponds to step 16, so the left
column of buttons will be used to assign the
number of ratchets.
Ratchets range from 1 (no ratcheting, at the top);
to 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and random (every pass
produces a random number of ratchets).
In the illustration shown to the right, we have
assigned eight ratchets to step 16.
4. Once you’ve set the number of ratchets for a
step, press the same multifunction (step) button
to back up one level, exiting the step’s Ratchet
Assignment mode.
