OUT
A
&
B
The third and fourth Stage buttons in ALT Mode are used to assign a function to Metropolix’s
OUT A
and
OUT B
jacks. Specifically, for each output, you can assign the type of signal sent to the output
jack, and the track from which the signal is sent.
There are two main parameters on each of the OUT (
A
and
B
) assignment screens:
●
OUTPUT <n>
: This parameter contains a list of signal types that can be sent to the
A
(or
B
)
output jack. Signals followed by a gate symbol (
⎍
) are gate/trigger pulses, rather than
continuous voltages. Output options are:
CV :
Sends the CV Lane values from the track selected by the
OUTPUT ASSIGN
parameter. This is the default setting (on Track 1) for OUT
A
.
First Pulse
⎍
: Sends a Reset trigger based from the track selected by the
OUTPUT ASSIGN
parameter. This is the default setting (on Track 1) for
OUT
B
.
‘First Pulse’ means a trigger is sent on the first clock pulse of a sequence.
Each time the sequence resets, the trigger is re-sent on the first clock pulse
of the reset sequence. Note that a sequence must have a
Pulses
length
other than ‘Auto’ (as set with the
LEN
button), otherwise the pulse is sent
only when a RESET is triggered manually (or via an external input).
For example, a four-stage, four-pulse Linear sequence plays four
single-pulse stages (1 > 2 > 3 > 4), then resets back to Stage 1.
‘First Pulse’ would always send a trigger on the first clock pulse of Stage 1.
If a Reset is triggered manually (either by pressing the
RESET
button or
sending a trigger to the RESET jack), it will always send a trigger to any
output assigned to ‘First Pulse’ (unless the Track’s
Global Reset
option is
set to ‘Off’ in the TRACK MENU).
Last Pulse
⎍
: Sends a Reset trigger based from the track selected by the
OUTPUT ASSIGN
parameter.
‘Last Pulse’ means a trigger is sent on the last clock pulse of the last stage
in a sequence. Each time the sequence resets, the trigger is sent on the
final clock pulse prior to it resetting. Note that a sequence must have a
