CV INPUT ASSIGNMENT
The sequencer has 2 CV inputs, which can control only one parameter each. Those parameters are the
MODE
,
START
,
SIZE
,
CLOCK DIVIDER
,
KEY
(position),
TRANSPOSE
and
DUTY CYCLE
. Clicking on the
upper row will make that CV input to control a parameter of the first sequencer, and lower row of the second
one.
Please note that if the sequencer
main setup
is set to PARALLEL or SINGLE, the CV assignment for the
second sequencer (lower row) will have no effect, except for the duty cycle.
Pressing shift when in CV INPUT ASSIGNMENT mode will display the CV read value using the 2 rows of
illuminated buttons as a bar graph..
The
slide time
can also be controlled by CV (it will affect both sequencers) by clicking on the
leftmost button of the lower row (the SLIDE one) when in the CV assign mode. The concept is
more about adjusting the taste of the slide to your needs, rather than modulating the slide time,
which, on the other hand, can be done.
By default CV IN1 (and so its tall trimmer) is assigned to control the size of the sequencer 1, and CV IN2 the
clock divider (aka step repeat) of the sequencer 2.
INTERNAL CLOCK & TEMPO CONTROL
Step Fader mkII has an internal clock. Hold SHIFT and click on PLAY to start
/stop. SHIFT + RESET will do a manual reset to both sequencers.
The default tempo for the internal clock is 120 BPM. By pressing
SHIFT while clicking on
- tempo +
the internal clock will
decrease/increase in 2 BPMs. Another way to set the tempo is to
click on the TAP button at the desired speed while pressing shift. One tap for every 4 steps.
