1. Pitch Out:

Pitch output for secondary Octone. It can be quantized or unquantized based on the 
selected preset scale. It can output the current knob states, transposed knob states, or
stored sequence patterns. 
Range is 0V—5V.

2. Stored Pattern Bank Toggle:

Toggle that switches the mode of 

pitch out

 on the secondary Octone.

If the toggle is left, the secondary Octone's 

pitch out

 will generate its voltage from 

the current pot positions according to the 

transpose toggle

.

If the toggle is center, the secondary Octone's 

pitch out

 will generate its voltage from 

the currently selected sequence pattern in bank 1. (See 

Storing Sequence Patterns 

with Two Octones 

for more information). 

If the toggle is right, the secondary Octone's 

pitch out

 will generate its voltage from the

currently selected sequence pattern in bank 2. (See 

Storing Sequence Patterns with

Two Octones 

for more information). 

3. Transposition Toggle:

Toggle that switches between transpose settings.

If the toggle is left, the secondary Octone will be set to transpose diatonically based on
the primary Octone.

If the toggle is center, the secondary Octone will not transpose.

If the toggle is right, the secondary Octone will be set to unquantized transposition.

4. Transposition Amount:

Transposition amount for the secondary Octone.

5. Gate Out:

Gate output that will output the sum of all enabled gates.

If the primary Octone is in Standard mode, the secondary Octone's 

gate out

 will mirror 

the primary Octone's 

gate out

.

If the primary Octone is in Ratchet mode, the secondary Octone's 

gate out

 will output 

bursts determined by the amount of ratchets assigned to the corresponding step. 
Gates are 0V-10V.

6. Gate Out LED:

LED indication for 

gate out

.
