Mode Playing modes of the sequencer:

FORWARD: Playing the sequence forward

BACKWARD: Playing the sequence backward

FORWD/ BACKWD: Playing the sequence forward and backward

RANDOM: Playing the sequence randomly

SMOOTH Amount of interpolation between values of each step in a sequence.

SWING Automatically bring a ternary quantification to the sequence. This parameter will be very useful to add “groove” to a sequence for hip hop music, for example.

ACCENT Bring an additional modulation to the selected step thanks to an “Attack” / “Decay” envelope applied to the cutoff frequency of the VCF low pass filter. This unit is comparable to the one that is located on the very famous TB303. The possibility to edit the attack time was added to the original unit to allow more flexibility.

A: Attack time of the accent envelope

D: Decay time of the accent envelope

LEVEL: Knob that controls the modulation amount of the accent to the low pass VCF Filter.

Pencil: drawing of the values of the steps

 

Line: drawing of the values of the steps in line

 

Eraser: Delete certain values and settings

 

Noise: Automatically create a sequence

 

Reset: Reset the sequencer

STEPS

The steps. They contain bi-directional values (positive or negative).

LENGTH

To set the length of the sequence, 32 steps maximum.
