and can have no effect on its behavior. Instead, the envelope
generators for the module will get their gate signals from the
CLOCK in the minisequencer--you already are familiar with this
from paragraph two on page twelve--and the oscillators will get
their control voltages from either the S/H unit or from the
8-step sequencer, depending on the center or upper position of
the assignment switch.
Now move the assignment switch for voice module one to its
upper position, labelled SEQ 1. Move the switch in the CLOCK
section of the minisequencer to its upper position, labelled
"run". The gate light in voice module one should immediately
start blinking (more or less rapidly depending on the chance
frequency setting of the CLOCK), and a series of events of dif-
ferent pitches should be produced from voice module one. If you
hear nothing, see the preceding section E.1 of this manual.
Note that at each new pitch, a new position light illuminates
on the minisequencer. In order to change the pitch produced at
any particular step, stop the clock on that particular step and
open the signal path so as to get continuous sound. Then use
the CONTROL VOLTAGE PRESET at that position to change the pitch
of the oscillator.
The on-off switch for the minisequencer CLOCK has also a lower
position labelled step. This position is spring-loaded and the
svitcb will not stay there; but every time you push it down,
the sequencer will advance to the next step in the sequence.
This enables you to set an entire 8-step sequence rapidly and
easily.
When you have set up a sequence that you like, try playing
voice module two from the keyboard along with you sequence.
NOTE: if you find that you can't get any sound out of the sec-
ond voice, check the 2ND VOICE switch At the left of the key-
board. It should be OFF. (If it is ON, you will have to press
two keys in order to get a gate for the second voice--remem-
ber?)
Now voice module two will be controlled by the sequencer if the
second ASSIGNMM switch is set to the SEQ 2 position. A second
set of control voltages is available from the sequencer CONTROL
VOLTAGE PRESETS, so that the pitches produced by the second
voice can be set independently of those produced by the first
voice; the inner knob at each sequencer position determines the
SEQ 2 voltages.
NOTE: Many beginners find some difficulty in tuning to familiar
pitches and intervals because of the continuously variable tun-
ing controls. At the end of this manual, under the heading
"PERFORMING HINTS," we will give some simple aids to tuning
under various circumstances.
