Duo Mode Sequencing Section

(2 of 2)

Resetting Both Sequences

The sequences can be reset to step 1 a few different ways. Pressing the RESET/REST BUTTON (6)
resets both sequences to step 1. Sending a trigger or gate signal into the RESET INPUT JACK (9) also
resets both sequences to step 1. The sequences can not be reset independently.

Programming the Sequences

In Duo Mode, the Left Zone and Right Zone work as independent sequencers. A sequence is recorded
by pressing and holding the DUO BUTTON (7). While the DUO BUTTON (7) remains pressed, up to 64
steps can be added to the Left and Right sequences by tapping the Touch Plates. The Y-Axis is also
recorded into the sequence during programming.

The Left and Right Sequences can be entered simultaneously or one at a time.

While the DUO BUTTON (7) remains pressed, a Touch Plate can be pressed multiple times to repeat a
step.

While the DUO BUTTON (7) remains pressed, the RESET/REST BUTTON (6) can be pressed to add a
rest step in the sequence with the last assigned step. If no steps have been programmed in the Left or
Right sequencers, the rest is assigned to the first step of the Left sequencer.

The sequencers begin cycling independently through their programmed steps as soon as the first step
of a sequence is programmed and a trigger or gate signal triggers the STEP INPUT JACK (10). To
prevent the sequencers from cycling during programming, remove the clock from the STEP INPUT
JACK (10) until programming is finished.

If only one sequence is active, the other Touch Plate Zone can be played manually.

Clearing a Sequence

Press and release the DUO BUTTON (7) without touching a Left or Right Touch Plate to clear the
sequences.

Switching from Duo to Mono clears the sequences.

Powering off the Touch Controller will clear the sequences.

Attention!

While the Left and/or Right sequencers are running, touching their Touch Plates will not trigger the
channel. Instead, touching a TOUCH PLATE will re-record the Left or Right Y-Axis. This allows the Y-
Axis recorded into the sequence to be modified without changing the selected channel sequence.

If the Touch Plates are not responding to touch, Press and release the DUO BUTTON (7) to clear the
active sequences and enable the Left and Right Touch Plates.
