Steppy 3U Manual
●
RUN Mode
: This is an optional mode, into which you must boot Steppy (see
below). As with RESET Mode, a gate received at the RST jack resets all patterns
(across all four tracks) back to their first step, but it also enables pattern
playback. Specifically, when a gate is high,
the patterns play. When a gate is low, they
don’t. This let’s your remotely start and stop
patterns, rather than having them run
continuously.
Hold the

RST
button on boot up to toggle
between RUN and RESET modes (the setting is
saved across boots). On the SELECT page, you'll

on the left column, and steps 9-16 running
from top-to-bottom on the right column.
Patterns can be up to 64 steps long (spread
across 4 pages); and four entirely different patterns can exist simultaneously (in
Tracks A-D).
A
GREEN
button indicates that a step is ‘on’ (meaning it will send a gate to the
corresponding output). A flashing
GREEN
button indicates the last step in a
