Basic Operation
Power ON
For Power ON press the
Power
button. After being switched on the Schrittmacher needs a few
seconds to initialize.
Power OFF
To switch the device off press the
Power
button and keep it pressed until the device is separated from
the mains. The off-delay of approx. 5 seconds is to prevent unintentional switching off. Thus pressing
the
Power
button briefly will not result in an unintended and possibly embarrassing stop during a live
concert.
Playing sequences
By pressing the
Start
button the loaded preset is started. All active lines of the 4 sequence ranges will
now create MIDI events which are sent via the MIDI outputs.
A running preset can be stopped by pressing the
Pause
button with the preset not being reset. By
pressing the
Start
button again playing of the preset will be continued starting from that point where it
was stopped.
Using the
Stop
button you will stop playing and reset the preset to the initial position.
Input using the endless dials
The endless dials used in the Schrittmacher do not have an end stop position – as opposed to
potentiometers. They also have a pushbutton. Depending on the assigned function, parameters can
be input using the endless dials:
Editing parameters
By turning an endless dial clockwise, the respective value is
incremented. By turning it counter-clockwise the respective value is
decremented.
By pressing the endless dial the mode of a step (play / mute / skip)
can be changed. It depends on the set step mode between which
modes you can change. For more information read the “Step Mode”
section on page 24.
Menu navigation
You can mark a menu item using the endless dial 9. By turning it
clockwise you move the marking downward. By turning it counter-
clockwise you move it upward. Alternatively you can also move the
marking using the cursor buttons ◄
▲▼►
.
You can select the menu item by pressing the endless dial or the
Enter
button. You exit the menu without making any selection by
pressing the
Esc
button.

When an endless dial can be used for a selection function, the respective LED
lights orange.
