CLOCK input with 1 clock-pulse per step the advance is made on the low-to-high transition of the signal.
RESET input which resets the current pattern to step 1 at the low-to-high transition.
GATE output that is held high during the high period of the CLOCK input signal.
1V/OCT output with note pitch voltage (0.0833-4.0833V, C-0 to C-4)
VCF CV output with programmable voltage 0-5V
ACCENT output programmable On/Off
A total of 10 patterns with pattern length 1-16 steps where each step have the following programmable functions:
- Note pitch (or rest)
- Tie note to next step
- Slide to next step
- VCF CV voltage
Consists of the 0.96" OLED, two pushbuttons and a rotary encoder with a pushbutton switch.
Press and hold encoder button to select pattern. The change will be made after the current pattern has reached the last step.
EDIT button accesses menus for editing pattern steps:
- Select step to edit parameter in step
- or press MENU button and edit no of repeats and next pattern in chain
MENU button accesses the following functions:
- NEW: create a new empty pattern
- COPY: Copy pattern
- SAVE: Save patterns and settings to EEPROM
- LOAD: Load patterns and settings from EEPROM
- TUNE: Output a note on 1V/OCT output
- VREF: Adjust DAC VRef to match +5V rail
Two powering options, 16-pin power (or 10-pin) power connector variant showed below
+5 VDC @ 22 mA (0 mA)
+12 VDC @ 4 mA (26 mA)
-12 VDC @ 5 mA (5 mA)
