Alternative Applications Of Controls:
Clock In
The sequencer does not have to be stepped through at normal regular intervals as is usual. It can be clocked from
any source, such as the gate from a MIDI-CV converter or monosynth, the trigger out of a drum machine such as the
TR606/808, or from the gate outputs of other analogue sequencers. This allows it to step through the sequencer rhyth-
mically, as and when you want.
If a sine, triangle or sawtooth wave (that goes positive and negative in polarity) is used, the sequencer will step
randomly (backwards and forwards), and also skip beats! This can produce interesting musical results or is good for
sound effects.
Reset In
It can be taken from an source, such as Gates from MIDI to CV converters, synth’s or other analogue sequencers.
Step Out
It can be used individually to clock other analogue sequencers, to trigger analogue percussion modules, gate
monosynths.
The step out is basically a divide by 8 clock divide (relative to the clock input signal). Any step output (normally step
one) can be used to clock something else 8x slower.
CV Out
If a very high frequency clock pulse is used to step the sequencer (in audio frequencies), the CV pots can be used
as a waveform generator. Because of the quantised steps, it will sound digital in form, unless an external slew rate
generator (portamento) module is used to smooth the waveform.
