Steppy 3U Manual
5. Edit additional steps by pressing the desired multifunction (step) button; setting its value
using the buttons in the opposite column, then re-pressing the same multifunction (step)
button to exit the Parameter Edit mode.
TIP : You can copy one step's value to another by holding down the step button you want
to copy while pressing the step button to which you want to paste it.
6. To exit Step Edit mode, long-press the
EDIT
button again.
NOTE:
When you assign a step's parameter value to the lowest option, it will instead defer to
the track's global parameter value for that step, rather than use the minimum parameter value.
For example, no matter what the track’s global probability value is set to, you can override that
value on individual steps by pressing any of the column’s bottom 7 buttons (which correspond to
33, 50, 66, 75, 87.5, and 100% probability). However, if you press the top parameter value
(12.5% in this case), then the step uses the track’s global probability setting rather than 12.5%.
Ratcheting
Steppy’s ratcheting function is accessed in Step Edit Mode by pressing the flashing
CLK ÷
button
.
In normal (non-ratcheting) operation, each step in a sequence fires off a single gate.
Ratcheting occurs when one or more of those steps fires off multiple gates before the
next step. Each step in a pattern can be programmed to trigger as many as 12 gates in a
single step, and each step can have a different number of ratchets (repeats).
The following example illustrates a 4-step pattern. The top line shows how the pattern
plays without ratcheting. In the second line, step 1 has been set to ratchet four times. In
the bottom line, step 1 has been set to ratchet eight times, and step 3 to ratchet two
times.
