31: Pitch Out:

Pitch output. It can be quantized or unquantized based on the selected preset scale.
Range is 0V—5V.

32. Glide:

Sets transition time between successive pitch values from 

pitch out

.

33. Gate Out:

If the current step's gate enable button is illuminated, a gate will emit from this output.
Gates are 0V-10V.

34. Gate Out LED:

LED indication for 

gate out.

It will also indicate the pulse width of the gates when externally clocked.

35. Mode Toggle:

Toggle that switches the Octone's mode.
If the mode toggle is left, then the Octone is set to Standard mode

 

(

std

).

Standard mode behaves as a traditional eight step sequencer.

If the mode toggle is center, then the Octone is set to Ratchet mode (

ratchet

).

In ratcheting mode, the number of gates and length of each step can be adjusted. Up 
to eight ratchets can be assigned in single Octone operation, and 16 when chained.

If the mode toggle is right, then the Octone is set to Tune mode

 

(

tune

).

Tune mode will stop the internal or external clock and allow the user to pause on 
individual steps for accurate pitch tuning. This is also the mode used for enabling and 
assigning ratchets (See 

Enabling and Assigning Ratchets For Individual Steps 

for 

more information).

36. Length:

Sequence length control.
If the knob is far left, the first step will be the only step included in the sequence.
If the knob is far right, all eight steps will be included in the sequence. 

37. Rate:

Internal clock rate control.
If the knob is far left, then the sequence will play as slow as possible.
If the knob is far right, then the sequence will play as fast as possible.
When externally clocked, 

rate

 becomes the pulse width control for 

gate out.

If the knob is far left, pulse width will be as wide as possible.
If the knob is far right, pulse width will be as narrow as possible.
