EQUENCER
(SEQ)
Menu 3 (POT03 blinking) controls a 24 step sequencer.
The sequence is described in Menu 3 submenus (Clock Position 7 and 8). Both have a submenu
of 12 steps. Describe the Step On with green LED, Step Off with dark LED and mark a restart
point with red. Sequence starts from Menu 3 Clock 7 submenu and continues to Clock 8
submenu. Whenever a red step is reached, the sequencer restarts. If there is no red step, the
sequence runs all 24 steps.
Modulation Depth determines the strength of parameter change. In that sense the sequencer is
like pulse modulation, but you may apply more complex rhythmic figures.
Sequence can be started and stopped by external MIDI controller sending Midi CC #30. A
sequence also starts when preset is selected, if Menu 3 Clock 9 is set to On. If you do not want to
use external MIDI control, you may create two nearby presets, in one of these Clock 9 switched
On and in other switched Off – in this case changing between presets feels like switching
sequencer On/Off.
Now for the detailed overview of Menu Items (Clock Positions). You can turn modulation off on
certain strings, setting it from Clock Positions 1…6.
STRING 1 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 1: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
STRING 2 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 2: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
STRING 3 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 3: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
STRING 4 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 4: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
STRING 5 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 5: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
STRING 6 MODULATION
Menu 3 Clock 6: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
There are two submenus, each with 12 sequencer patterns. To pick any of these, enter submenu
and toggle a clock position with encoder (
On (
G
) / Off (D) / Reset (
R
)
):
SUBMENU 3.7: STEP1
Menu 3 Clock 7: Toggle to enter
SUBMENU 3.8: STEP2
Menu 3 Clock 7: Toggle to enter
To get Sequencer going when you select a preset, set it to start when preset starts:
START SEQ WITH PRESET:
Menu 3 Clock 9: On (
G
) / Off (
R
)
You can synchronize SEQ with LFO 1 at the rate of 1, 2 or 4 times. If you want the sequencer in
sync with external MIDI or TAP TEMPO, you must first sync LFO1.
SYNC SEQ TO LFO1
Menu 3 Clock 10:
Off (D) / 1X (
G
) / 2X (
Y
) / 4X (
R
)
SYNC LFO1
Menu 4 Clock 10: Off (D) / Tempo (
G
) / Midi (
Y
) / Midi.OR.Tempo (
R
)
If you have synced tempo to LFO1, turning Pot 7 changes the SEQ tempo in relation to LFO1
(from -16 times to +16 times the speed of LFO1). Setting LFO1 to slow rate and slowing down
even more gives you slower setting than Pot 7 without synching; and vice versa for faster.
To turn SEQ on, set it to control either parameters, panning or filter parameters. Please note that
you cannot bypass filter modulation per string, as the Filter works on 1/4" outputs.
