In
external clock mode
, a pulse (low-to-high) on reset input 'resets' the
current sequence, i.e. the current sequence (pattern) is executed starting
from the first step (restart from the first step).
start/stop
: this input, along with the button, starts and stops the
sequence. The two methods of control are concurrent, i.e. when the input
on the jack is ZERO and the user presses the start button the sequence
starts, etc...
In
external clock mode
, a pulse on the start/stop input
pauses
the current
playing sequence, and another pulse on the same input put the
sequencer in play, i.e. the current sequence (pattern) is executed starting
from the
next
step (the next step is executed).
In another words, in
external clock mode
the start/stop input has the
same behavior of the play/pause button. In
internal clock mode
the
start/stop input is not used. It is active, currently, only in external clock
mode.
CVA
-
CVD
: CV inputs for configurable functions. Those are 0-5V inputs.
Modes of operation
EDIT MODE
: As soon as the user touches one of the encoders, the display will
show a blinking dot on the matrix. The user can now move the dot by means of
the two encoders (row/column). The blinking of the dot is different depending if
it sits on an active step or not. When the user presses the right encoder the
status of the 'pointed' step changes, cycling through ACTIVE and NON ACTIVE
states. After 5 seconds of inactivity the module returns to either the STOP
mode or the RUN MODE.
STOP MODE
: the matrix shows the active sequence, the sequencer is stopped
and the module is waiting for input form the user OR from the external signals.
RUN MODE
: When the sequencer is active and running, and the user is not
operating the unit on other modes, the display shows the 'active sequence'
and, for each track, a DOT shows the current steps, moving with the clock. The
status of the steps are X-OR'ed (inverted) as the sequence progresses. If the
length of the tracks are all equal the user sees a vertical bar that is running on
the matrix.
MENU MODE
: By pressing the LEFT encoder the user enters the MENU mode,
and the screen shows, by rotating the left encoder, the menu items as defined
below. When the user selects a menu item with the right encoder push, enters
the PARAMETER CHANGE phase and can change (with the right encoder) the
value of the parameter. Confirmation (end EXIT from MENU MODE) is made
through a push on the right encoder. MENU MODE is also exited by pushing the
LEFT encoder or by waiting 20 seconds.
