Creating a compose
To switch to compose mode hit Mode/+2, the display will show C00. Select the storage
destination by hitting Bank/+1 followed by C1...C8. Press Record (the LED will display a
dot) and enter any of the eight available sequences. For a transposition press and hold
Bank/+1 and any of the 12 note keys C1...B7 first. Enter the number of the sequence
C1...C8 after. Finally set the reset by pressing Mode/+2 and G5/R at the same time. Return
to play mode by hitting Record.
MIDI Channel
To define the MIDI Channel press and hold the right yellow key for at least a second (in
Play mode). Use the Tempo Knob to adjust the MIDI Channel. Releasing the key will save

MIDI Clock & DIN Sync
The MFB-602 offers three modes of Sync. „Internal„ sends MIDI Start, Stop and Clock.
„Extern„ receives MIDI Start, Stop and Clock empfangen. In DIN-Sync the MFB-602
receives Start/Stop (Start = +5Volt) und Sync (96 impulses/bar). Switch between the three
modes by pressing and holding A# while switching the MFB-602 on. External mode is
visualized by the dot in the right part of the display, DIN-Sync Mode with a dot in the
center.
CV and Gate
The CV-Out works with the most popular 1 Volt/Octave scale that is used by Moog,
Roland, Sequential Circuits as well as newer modular systems from Doepfer, Technosaurus
or Analogue Solutions.
As there is more than one system for Gate polarity and voltage it is possible to switch the
MFB-602 between the following standards. Press and hold while switching on:
C#
positive polarity
(Moog, Roland)
D#
negative polarity
(Korg)
F#
Gate voltage 5 Volt
(Korg)
G#
Gate voltage 10 Volt
(Moog, Roland)
Settings will be remembered when switching the sequencer off.
Start and Trigger
The MFB-602 offers a Start- and Trigger Output to synchronise older MFB machines. This
functions cannot be used in Sync Mode „DIN“ because the jack is used as input.
Start outputs 0 Volt while the sequencer is running, the Trigger Outputs sends postive
triggers every 16
th
step.
