Clock Input: Feed a square 0-5V clock signal here.
Rising edges trigger the steps. If you are using the
PCB header to feed a DIN SYNC signal (e.g. from
an STG Time Buffer) then do not plug anything here.
Reset Input: Feed a pulse
0-5V here. Rising edges
trigger the reset.
Gate Length A: Set the gate length of sequence A (red leds). Click one of the buttons
from 1-8 where 1 is the shortest gate time and 8 is the longest.The length of the gate is dependent
on the timing mode. (see RELATIVE TIME MODE and ABSOLUTE TIME MODE for more details)
Sequence Length A: Set the number of steps (1-8) in Sequence A (red leds)
Sequence Length B: (green leds)
Store: Save the current sequence to a preset in one of the 8 locations. Steps with
sequence already stored in that location are indicated with a red led.
NOTE: These presets will not be stored offline unless you use
STORE TO EEPROM function.
Load: load one of the 8 presets. Only steps with a red led lit have stored presets.
Choosing any other location will result in loading a blank sequence. On power up of the
module all presets are loaded from EEPROM.
Swing: set the swing amount from 0% (step 1) to 33% (step 8)
Step 1: RELATIVE TIME MODE: the minimum and maximum gate time limits are relative to the interval between incoming clock pulses
Step 2: ABSOLUTE TIME MODE: the minimum and maximum gate times are independent of clock rate.
Step 3: NORMAL CLOCK MODE: clock pulses are processed from the front panel jack.
Step 4: DIN24 CLOCK MODE: front panel clock pulses are ignored and clock pulses are read from the LINK header (compatible with STG Time Buffer)
This is a DINSYNC24 input with 24ppq clock and run/stop signal. The sequence will only run if the run/stop signal on this header is logic high (+5v).
Step 5: STORE TO EEPROM: All currently stored sequences (in the preset locations 1-8) and settings are stored to EEPROM. This memory is non voltatile and
will remain stored once the module is powered off.
Step 6: LOAD FROM EEPROM: Load the EEPROM stored values into the presets. Be default this happens every time you power up the module but you can
call this again if you have editted sequences/settings and want to revert to the last permanently saved values.
Step 7: 8 STEP MODE: The uStep operates as 2x8 step sequences where sequence A is indicated with red leds and sequence B with green.
Step 8: 16 STEP MODE: The uStep operates in 1x16 mode where the red leds indicate steps 1-8 an the green leds steps 9-16. The output of this sequence is on
output jack A. On output jack B is the inverse of whatever 16 step sequence is programmed. Note that in this mode the sequence length can only be changed from
9 to 16 steps. If you want to set less you need to go back to 8 STEP MODE
Step 1: RESET: Press this to manually reset the sequence position to step 1
For the following four choices the currently selected divider is indicated by an led
at that step (e.g. if clock divide by 2 mode is active then step 3 will have a red led)
Step 2: CLOCK ÷ 1: Divide incoming clock by 1 (i.e. Normal mode)
Step 3: CLOCK ÷ 2: Divide incoming clock by 2
Step 4: CLOCK ÷ 4: Divide incoming clock by 4
Step 5: CLOCK ÷ 6: Divide incoming clock by 6 (useful for 24ppq sources)
Step 6: (DO NOTHING): Press this to exit without making any changes
Step 7: CLEAR SETTINGS: Clear all settings but leave sequence steps
Step 8: CLEAR SEQUENCE: Clear all steps but leave settings.
‘X’ Menu: Enter the ‘X’ menu for the following choices:
Gate Output A: 0 - 5V
Gate outs for sequence A
Gate Output B: 0 - 5V
Gate outs for sequence B
Gate Length B: (green leds)
