A sequence is defined as a set of tracks, the sequence speed, the individual
tracks lenght, the gate lenght, the shuffle and the 4 CV bound functions.
Please see the Appendix "SD card management"
store
button: As above, the user is prompted with a graphical display of
the possible locations where to save the present pattern. When selected
with the right encoder, by pressing it the sequence is saved and the
module confirms with an "OK".
Please see the Appendix "SD card
management"
tempo
button: when pressed, the right encoder selects an integer BPM
value between 8 and 254 BPM. To confirm, press the encoder or wait 5
seconds to return to the original tempo.
len
button: when pressed, the display shows as ALL LIT the #1 track. The
user selects the track with the LEFT encoder and the LEN of the track
with the RIGHT encoder. The length of the LIT track changes according to
this parameter. To confirm, the user have to press the right encoder. NO
track could be longer than "glob len" value. (IMPORTANT, the active steps
are retained in memory even if out of scope)
glob len
button: when pressed the user selects the LEN of the sequence.
If there are already different track lengths the global len affects only the
tracks that have a len>globlen (IMPORTANT, the active steps are retained
in memory even if out of scope). This parameter is not saved in memory,
and when the board starts running its default value is automatically
loaded. The default value of this parameter is 16 and its range is 1 <=
GlobLen <= 16.
shuffle
: when the user press this button, a 'shuffle', (or swing)
percentage is shown on the display (from 50 to 100). To confirm, press
right encoder. Note: When external clock is choosen, shuffle is not
enabled.
Note:
BPM and swing can be changed real-time: if its value is not confirmed by
press of the right encoder, the parameter returns to its original value
after waiting 5 seconds. The parameter returns immediately to its original
value by pressing the left encoder.
A

C

D
buttons: when pressed, the user can choose for the CVinput
A,B,C or D, a parameter that is shown by rotating the right encoder and
confirmed with the push of the encoder (see the CV parameter chapter)
clk in
jack: this input accepts 5V clock signals when the switch is
positioned on the left. The clock could be divided usign the relevant
menu function.
clock switch
: selects whenever the clock is internal or external.
clkout/res
: when in external mode this is an input and, if HIGH resets the
sequence to step 1. When in internal clock mode the clock of the
sequence is output from this jack to sync with other equipment. Level is
5V. The clock out shape takes gate length and shuffle in consideration.
