Dual Mini Sequencer Operating Instructions 

 

Playing Sequences 

Push RUN to start playing a sequence. The RUN LED will light to tell you that you are in Run 
mode. Push it again to pause. The sequencer steps can be programmed while paused. 

Push RESET to stop the sequence, go to step 1, and enter Ready mode. The STEP LED will blink 
to let you know that you are in Ready mode. This means that when you press RUN again, the 
sequencer will play step 1 on the next clock pulse instead of skipping it and going to step 2.
