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 step one. The Clock LED under the
Start/Stop Button blinks in time with the clock.
Note that the Start/Stop Button acts differently if you are using an external clock signal plugged into the
Clock Jack. See the Configuration section for details.
Mode Button
Press the Mode Button to change the current mode. Repeatedly pressing and releasing the Mode
Button cycles through the three modes (Algorithmic, Step Edit, and Pattern Play). One of the Mode LEDs
is illuminated to indicate the current mode.
Hold the Mode Button down while pressing or turning Knob 1 or Knob 2 when in the Algorithmic or Step
Edit mode to access additional functions described below.
Clear
Hold Mode + Press Knob 1 to clear all the steps for the output that is currently being edited.
Hold Mode + Press Knob 2 to clear the entire pattern, that is, clear all of the steps for all eight outputs.
Output Length
Hold Mode + Turn Knob 1 to set the output length of the output currently being edited. Output length
is the length of time that the output jack is on (12V). The Step LEDs will indicate the length of the
current output by displaying one of the patterns shown below.
10 milliseconds: the output is on for 10ms regardless of the clock speed or pulse width.
This is a typical trigger output.
Clock: the output is on when clock signal is on, and off when clock signal is off. If using
an external clock divided by 1, then the output will have the same pulse width as the
external clock. Dividing by another number has the effect of squaring the external
pulses (equal on/off time).
Full: the output is on for the full length of the step, and consecutive on steps produce
no off time between the steps.
Pattern Select
Hold Mode + Turn Knob 2 to select the pattern to edit. This changes the whole pattern (set of eight
outputs) being edited, not just the current output within a pattern. The current pattern is indicated by a
blinking Output LED which moves as you turn the knob. The current output is indicated by a steadily
illuminated Output LED, as it always is in Algorithmic and Step Edit mode.
