These are a 8-In to 1-Out and a 1-In to 8-Out sequential switches. The knob at the top controls how many steps will be used (cycled through). This can also be controlled by the CV input (which overrides the knob, if connected). The "Steps" CV input uses a range from 0-8 V.
For the 8 to 1 switch, the sockets "1" - "8" are the CV inputs, which are rerouted to "Out". The LED buttons next to the inputs can be used to manually set a specific step (if the "Step" CV is not connected). For the 1 to 8 switch, the direction of Ins and Outs is reversed.
The trigger inputs "Up" and "Down" step through the inputs, cycling at the selected number of steps. "Rand" selects a random step and "Reset" sets the position back to step "1".
If an cable is connected to the "Step" input, it overrides (and disables) the trigger inputs as well as the manual selection. The voltage is expected to be in the 0-8V range and is internally rescaled to the set number of steps.
The 1 to 8 switch has two different operation modes, accessible through the context menu:
"Zero": The inactive outputs send 0V.
"Last": The inactive outputs send the last voltage. This is basically a shift register which can be operated in arbitrary order.
