way, then you might have built the Sequence 8 with unleaded solder,
which we recommend against doing at the very top of the Assembly
Instructions.
Flip the HOLD HARD switch into the “UP” position and press
the red
STEP
switch
to reach Step 1 on the Sequence 8. From your
Oscillators resting position you should notice the pitch change 5
octaves as you rotate the CV 1 Attenuator from fully counter clockwise
to fully clockwise.
Repeat these same steps for the Sequence 8’s CV 2 and CV 3
Outputs. While you are plugged into the CV 3 Output,
press the STEP
button to advance to Step 2. Rotate the Step 2 knob clockwise and
confirm that it is also going to 5V. Do this same thing for Steps 3
through 8.
You should be able to confirm that all 8 steps can pass a minimum of
0 volts to a maximum of 5 volts and that all 3 CV Output Attenuators
are working correctly. Now Flip the HOLD HARD switch into the
“DOWN” position.
—TESTING CLOCK IN / CLOCK OUT—
TESTING INTERNAL CLOCK:
Slowly rotate the RATE C (Course) knob until you notice the pattern
going quite fast. Now rotate the RATE F (Fine) knob from fully counter
clockwise to clockwise. You should notice that the RATE F knob will
make fine adjustments to the internal clock and that the RATE C knob
makes course adjustments. When both knobs are rotated fully, you
should see all 8 LEDS for all 8 steps light up. It doesn’t go quite into
audio range, but it does go pretty fast.
Now hold down the red HOLD
MOM (Hold Momentary) switch and you should
notice (via the LEDs
on the front panel) the sequence has stopped at one of the 8 steps.
