Controls

Knob 1 and Knob 2

The two knobs perform various functions depending on what mode the module is in. They do not have

an indicator line on them because they are not positional. They rotate infinitely in both directions and

do not stop like a potentiometer does. They are called rotary encoders. Think of them as rotary switches

that are turned clockwise or counter (anti) clockwise to change the value of a parameter.

The knobs are also pushbutton switches. They can be pressed just like a button. They operate very much

like the volume control in most modern car radios.

Tempo/Divider Knob

The Tempo knob sets the speed of the internal clock. It goes from 40 to 295 BPM (beats per minute).

When the clock jack is configured as an external clock, the Tempo knob divides (slows down) the

incoming clock signal. The divisions are marked on the control panel.

Start/Stop Button

Pressing the Start/Stop button starts or stops the internal clock. The clock stops immediately on

whatever step was playing. When the clock restarts, it starts on the first step. The Clock LED below the

Start/Stop button blinks in time with the clock.

Note that the Start/Stop button acts differently when using an external clock signal plugged into the

Clock jack. See the Configuration section for details.

Mode Button

Pressing the Mode Button changes the current mode. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Mode

Button cycles through the three main modes (Algorithmic, Step Edit, and Pattern Play). One of the Mode

LEDs is illuminated to indicate the current mode.

The mode button is also used to enter and exit the Copy, Action, and Configuration modes which are

described in detail later in this manual.

Action: Press and hold the Mode button while turning/pressing knobs.

Configuration: Hold the Mode button, then press the Start button, then release both buttons.

Copy: Press Knob 1 and Knob 2 at the same time, then release both knobs.

Clock and Control Jacks

The behavior of the Clock and Control jacks is set in Configuration mode. See the Configuration mode

section for full details. Control voltages into the Control or Clock jacks are expected to be 0 to 5 volts.
