Mimetic Sequent

        6HP CV randomizer and recorder

switch that controls which of three patterns is selected for output.

Duplicate

copies the currently selected pattern to the other two patterns.

Advance

manual advance of the step in the pattern. Equivalent to a rising edge on beat.

Random

randomization knob. When fully CCW, the knob locks the current pattern. 
The angle affects both the likelihood and the method used for the 
randomization. This is the heart of Mimetic Sequent and is documented in 
more detail in the section entitled Less Random. 

Record

a three-position switch that controls record mode. When fully down, record 
mode is disabled. In the middle position, short-record mode is enabled which 
will record until either 64 steps have been recorded or a rising edge of measure 
is received. In the fully up position, MS enters free-record mode that will 
continue until turned off.

Mode

controls the method by which the stored voltages are randomized. Methods are 
detailed below in the section entitled Less Random.

12-tet

in the up position, the output voltages will be quantized to the common 12-note 
equal-tempered scale.
